Disney’s 1994 Looper trailer.
Also, one of the top comments made me realize Bruce Willis has done 12 Monkeys, The Kid and Looper… where he all goes back in time and meets his younger self. My brain imploded.

Meet Glenn R. Laigo:
1) What do you do? I am an Academics Manager for PHINMA Education Network. I help in policy making and implementation of network-wide programs. I received my PhD in Mathematics from Ateneo de Manila and taught college math at the same university before my current job. I could say I have tried the teaching and research side of the academe, and now I am in the administration side.
2) Where do you work? PHINMA Education Network, where we currently manage four schools across the country: Araullo University in Cabanatuan, Cagayan de Oro College, University of Pangasinan in Dagupan, and University of Iloilo.
3) Tell us about the photos? (Left:) Giving a talk at an academic conference for the 50th Anniversary of the Ateneo Mathematics Programs in 2011. (Right:) A side trip to Boracay on my way to my usual school trip in Iloilo.
4) Anything else you want to share? I used to do research on Hyperbolic Geometry and Color Symmetry Theory, and have published a few scientific papers on these fields. This is one of the fields where you really see connections between math and art, nature, or even sociology.
HI GLENN!
If you guys are interested, here are some of the papers he’s put out:
The 100 Greatest Movie Threats of All Time (via BoingBoing)
A luxury label built on a framework of social justice? High fashion as an avenue for third-world craftsmanship? Interesting, if it works.
Eerie short story. The casual tone heightens the spooky vibe, and the tenses muddying the reader’s temporal perception work for it. (via io9)

Mrs. Rowling,
I read your statement that the wizarding gene is dominant. I have heard criticism that this does not explain muggle-borns, squibs, or the steady inheritance pattern of magical abilities; but I got your back. Magical ability could be explained by a single autosomal dominant gene if it is caused by an expansion of trinucleotide repeats with non-Mendelian ratios of inheritance.
