Since people are speculating about how ARQ might compare to other loopy stories, I am surprised that somebody has yet to mention Duncan Jones’ Source Code. So I just did.

I actually love recursive plots, because one day a protagonist will use the recurve of his/her personal time loop to drill down into the fabric of reality and discover that 42 really was the secret all along.

I liked Edge of Tomorrow. For perspective, I hate nearly every Tom Cruise movie after Jerry Maguire (well, Minority Report was okay, but mostly crashed and burned a good premise), and I only liked about a third of what he did before Jerry Maguire.

The series Day Break was Groundhog Day as crime noir.

If getting there is all the fun do you just turn round when you get there.

Hey, if you’re gonna list all the loop movies, you can’t leave out the non-SF ones.
For example, Memento. Or the video clip to Bjork’s Bachelorette.
And for almost-SF, Eternal Sunshine of a Spotless Mind.

Darn, for a moment I was hoping for a TV adaptation of Andreas’ fantastic comic book series, Arq. Some other time, maybe…
