Christian Freeling

Christian Freeling (born 1 February 1947, in Enschede, Netherlands) is a Dutch game designer and inventor of abstract strategy games, notably Dameo, Grand Chess, Havannah, and Hexdame. Freeling's designs cover a range of game types. Several of his games are endeavors to improve on established games that he concluded are flawed or limited in some way, while some introduce familiar game mechanics into uncommon settings. He also regularly translates rules for orthogonal board games to the hexagonal grid, resulting in new versions with altered properties – usually enhanced strategy and tactics options, and fewer draws. Christian's games often embody a desire to get to the heart of the concepts used in abstract games. This is most clearly displayed by his minimalist chess variant, Chad, and his version of column checkers, Emergo. Among all his games, Freeling considers Dameo, Emergo, Grand Chess, Storisende, Sygo, and Symple to be his most important, with Emergo as his personal favourite.

• I See Dull People: Looper - The Cooler

  1. I don't really want to compare the two films either (INCEPTION and LOOPER) either because I think it detracts from what both do well (LOOPER's economic approach to its storyline and setting versus INCEPTION's more emotionally resonant flashbacks and awe-inspiring action set-pieces), but I will concede that the emotion isn't there in LOOPER. But I think that's because I found LOOPER to be more (intentionally) detached than INCEPTION. Johnson does try to give us something with Willis when he's [...] \ No doubt, INCEPTION gets lost in its own maze. But here's what's interesting: that's the common complaint. Almost everyone who knocks INCEPTION -- even en route to praising it -- seems to agree that it spends too much time verbally articulating its own structure. And yet that movie is more emotionally powerful than LOOPER, for me anyway. So it's not that I'm wishing that LOOPER were more complex or spent more time tinkering with its time travel mindfuck elements. It's that I find it odd that [...] it deliberately avoids getting lost in the weeds but then doesn't do enough with the opportunity it creates for itself. It's not that LOOPER doesn't give emotionality the good old college try. It does that, and maybe more. But for whatever reason, it doesn't resonate as powerfully as INCEPTION in its high points. I don't want to make this all about the comparison between the two films, so I'll stop comparing them from here, but that's something I find interesting.

Whether it is considered "badass" depends on personal taste and how much one emphasizes its strengths versus its weaknesses. Overall, it remains a standout film in the sci-fi genre for many viewers.

  However, as even Rian Johnson has admitted, Looper isn’t meant to be as rigid or complex as other more hard sci-fi films like Shane Carruth’s Primer for example. Instead, Looper presents a pretty straightforward time travel mechanism that really only allows for one main timeline… with the possibility of another one in the end (or maybe more). [...] However, to really understand the full Looper meaning, you’d really have to just take it at face value. As Johnson has stated in interviews, the film is meant to be dealt with “moment-to-moment,” and that “the things that have happened have happened. Everything is kind of being created and fused in terms of the timeline in the present moment.” 'LooperCredit: TriStar Pictures [...] Released all the way back in 2012, but the blu ray is available now. Looper was only Johnson’s third feature, yet he pulled an impressive cast featuring Bruce Willis, Joseph Gordon-Levitt, and Emily Blunt. The film is set between 30 years in the future and the past, which blends action thriller beats with some high-concept sci-fi worldbuilding, was met with rave reviews, a strong box office pull, and inclusion on several best-of-the-year lists.

  It was a fun time loop thriller and now its a child protection mission (which personally I rarely ever enjoy) and the kid has crazy powers.

  Plot: Dom Cobb is a thief with the rare ability to enter people's dreams and steal their secrets from their subconscious. His skill has made him a hot commodity in the world of corporate espionage but has also cost him everything he loves. Cobb gets a chance at redemption when he is offered a seemingly impossible task: Plant an idea in someone's mind. If he succeeds, it will be the perfect crime, but a dangerous enemy anticipates Cobb's every move. [...] Likewise, in the third ‘Raiders’ film, they cast River Pheonix to portray Indiana Jones not just because he was a brilliant actor, but because he was convincingly Harrison Ford-like. Stand-ins as well are practically doubles for the actors they stand in for. They’re always looking for actors to do stand-in who are a physical match, but also a character match. Bottom Line: Actors are primarily cast based on what they are like. We’re not faking it, so much as believing it.

When the mob wants to eliminate someone, it sends the target into the past, where a hitman known as a looper lies in wait to finish the job.
