Well the idea that you could be clothed to do it |
"Oh well, so we have three balls now"
Take the newest entry into the time travel movies coming out, Looper. For those of you that didn't click that link let me give you a quick idea of what happens. Joseph Gordon-Levitt is a time hit-man, who has to kill his future self (Bruce Willis), basically Willis is sent back in time to be offed by Levitt. This doesn't work out of course and Willis gets a gun and basically turns into, what I assume is a future version of, John McClane. Then he runs around his past destroying things, and throwing gold bars around.
There are already several issues here, but I'm only going to deal with the most aggravating...the guy is shooting himself. I'm not sure if anyone realizes this, but it means he's gone through this exact scenario before. We can assume this is a face judging by the trailer, as Willis knows exactly how to startle his younger self(throwing a gold bar). So clearly he's already experienced the exact same thing when he is younger, and grew up knowing that he was going to be sent back in time and have to fight his younger self and still did nothing to avoid it. On top of it, what does Willis hope to accomplish by killing or maiming his younger self since he will deal with the repercussions of the injuries, or ya know die. So he's going to rampage through Levitt's time destroying things and altering the timeline for everyone he comes in contact with, not only potentially changing his life but the lives of everyone else. What about those poor people in the back ground there, walking around minding their own business?
That dude would have cured cancer is this explosion hadn't happened |
This type of stuff runs through every movie with time travel...the exception being Harry Potter and only because Harry uses the best movie bandage next to R2D2...magic.
