It blew my mind! And I've really enjoyed reading everyone's reaction posts; even though I didn't like the movie personally, I really like discussing it. :) When I read your post, I hadn't even thought about how killing himself could be read as Joe not making a decision vs Joe, for the first time, making a decision that puts another person first. I'd read into it the second way because I thought the thing that was at the heart of both Joes was selfishness.
I missed you! I skipped over the movie summaries I didn't see, but your family's reactions to Avengers is hilarious and wondermous. :D I will check out your recs at some point, maybe when I'm not avoiding writing more Inception fic. I *am* still picking at it little by little... RL has been busy and ridiculous and not very conducive to ficcing. Hopefully it'll change soooooon because I miss it and chatting about fic stuff. :)
Zach sleeps through the night. Until he doesn't, like when he's congested and sick or has really random changes to his sleep schedule, like last night. (1 am wake up to change and feed him. Usually he sleeps from about 7/7:30 pm to 7 am, so I was all WHUT, NO WAI!)
It's more that work has gotten all splodey lately, with all the back to school checks and new intakes because of that. I see some gaps in my schedule at work coming soon, and I could possibly write during no shows like usual. I'm working on two atm, plus I have two in beta for the Big Bang, a few with a separate beta because my usual one has been swamped with RL stuff for the past year and some smut ones that haven't seen a beta's eyes yet. So... It's more like the beta reading is the sticking point atm. :( I'm currently writing an A/A/E spy AU and an Ari/E Inception/TDKR crossover. :D
LOOPER SPOILERS (also possibly minor Brick spoilers)
Huh. Maybe it's because of your warning beforehand, but i didn't find Looper nearly as gorey as i'd expected it to be. (That said, the most disturbing thing - the old!Seth/young!Seth thing - probably wasn't quite as disturbing to me as most because of my medical/wound care background.) But i thought what blood there was was fairly stylized (the scene with Jesse, for instance, didn't squick me at all because it was so stylized and weirdly, disturbingly pretty) and the violence was for the most part a lot of suggestion and bloodstains and not a lot of actually laying out the gore. (The headshot scene in Brick actually bothered me more, because even in silhouette it was so visceral. Is that weird

It was stylized gore. :) I guess it was more violent than gorey? I thought the Seth scenes were what a lot of horror movies aim for and miss. Rian Johnson is just super talented at creating atmosphere. :) No, that's not weird at all. I thought Brick really built up to that scene in a number of ways, because there's so much "when are we going to find out what's really happening" intrigue and then there's this sudden action by Tug and it looks really raw and visceral, like you said

I miss you too! How are the kids? Is the baby sleeping through the night yet? I hope you get more time to write soon!
Haha thanks! My family is quite adorable; I enjoy watching things with them. <3

When I watched the Raid, I thought to myself, doubleholmes would probably like this! It's a great action movie, really intense. :)
