   in the "present" he    
   doesn't know how it will turn out and he could end up making sure he was never   
   in a position to go back in time to begin with.  He had a sweet gig, so why   
   chance to ruin it?  I guess the real paradox now is how did he live to the   
   2070s when he got shot    
   back in 2044.  That paradox was what I thought most clever in the film:  Joe   
   gets to shoot Old Joe and then gets not to shoot him.

   not his real face.  It was a professional job, you couldn't tell it was a fake   
   nose.   
      
   Why don't the criminal organizations kill their enemies BEFORE sending the   
   bodies back 30 years for disposal?
