Rian Johnson's 'Looper' is inventive, entertaining, and thought-provoking in every way a movie can be. It is in fact the kind of movie that reminds us why we watch them and make them, a beautifully told story that deserves to be not only remembered, but acknowledged for its writing.

I think, through comedy, sometimes we're allowed to discuss things that you'd never be able to talk about in a drama.

I am an obsessive flyer, myself.

I don't know why I'm drawn to anti-heroes, but I certainly am.

'Election' is a movie I'd give a leg to cross the director's name out and put mine in.

I hate movies that tell people what to think. I'm proud that Democrats thought 'Thank You For Smoking' was their film and Republicans thought it was theirs. I'm proud that pro-choice people thought 'Juno' was their film and pro-life people thought it was theirs.

And over the course of the last six years, as I've directed more features and commercials, I've become better at articulating exactly how I want the audience to feel.
