Looper!

Looper premiered at TIFF last night - and critics ADORE it! I mean, they seriously, really and truly adore it. So far, it has 16 positive and zero negative reviews on RT! I mean, I know that there will be people who will hate it or who will go see it with so much expectation that they will be disappointed in the end but so far? The response is overwhelmingly positive. I think one of my favorite reviews started with "Holy Shit, you guys are really going to like Looper" (link). If it's really as good as everybody says, I see myself going on a Bruce Willis trip just like I went on James McAvoy and JGL trips before *vbg*

My favorite question aimed at Rian Johnson was:

Which actor did you approach first?

RJ: I met Joe years ago and wanted to work together. I wrote the part with him in mind. And then we cast Bruce in it, and I was thrilled he wanted to do it. He's a tremendous actor... and, well, he's Bruce Willis.

Podfic rec: Inception

"Impossible Until It's Done" by aviss, read by kansouame | Arthur/Eames | Eames can't sleep. It's somehow Arthur's fault. Arthur is not impressed. | 43min.

Arthur leans closer, his lips almost touching Eames' face, his breath hot on his skin. Eames shivers, closing his eyes in anticipation, and though he can't see it, there's no mistaking the smirk on Arthur's voice. "Go to sleep, Mr. Eames."

Yeah, yeah. I know I rec'd it once already but it needed rec'ing again. What a great idea!
