I went to the Hobbit last week. It was meh...too drawn out campy for my taste. I'll see the next ones because I like the story, but I'm done watching 3 hour movies at the theatre.
The concept is excellent..
I'll put a spoiler tag on this in case you don't want to read it, but it's nothing that you probably don't already know (brief summary of the plot):
[SP]You cannot get away with murder in the future, so you have to send the live body back in time to 'Loopers' who receive and kill them and dispose of the body. The Loopers have to get paid, right? So they strap silver to the bodies for them to collect after they've been killed.
How do you "stop" Loopers from being Loopers? You send them themselves to kill. That to a Looper means their contract has been terminated. Gold is strapped to their future selves, for them to live on until their predetermined deaths.
Genius.[/SP]
