Babylon pulls 3.5$ million over the weekend off a 80$+ million budget

[satireprod]

to most of the posters point...Hollywood loves writing essentially the same type of story about itself...decadent, lavish, etc and it's always centered around OLD Hollywood..they do that for 2 reasons...one because some of the old guard LOVES to think about the glory days and 2 if the film is meant to take a swipe at the industry they mock the old establishment...that way they dont offend current power players...add that all up and its a movie that inside that bubble is acceptable BUT the average viewer has no interest in


there are stories that could be made about Hollywood (currently) that would be totally out of the box from the recent movies but will someone be "brave" enough to satirize how it's run possibly offending the gatekeepers....


Side note, a movie about trying to make it in Hollywood as a black artist..the obstacles and pitfalls we face... can be done for 3 to 5 mil..doesn't need a crazy budget like that

Give me @Ziggiy and @Drew Wonder to help with co-writing the screenplay..

If my penis wasn’t in love with watching Margot Robbie gyrate, I would’ve walked out

Saw this last night. need to sit with it awhile, it's not a bad movie, yet it 100% was a bad movie, but I think it wanted to be in parts?

it's 100% overwrought. It's bloated. It's even painfully boring in parts. It plays like having to listen to a group of coked out people for hours and hours, while sober, or at it's worst,, hungover. which I know A LOT about.

The last 10 minutes were painful. But, also had moments of brilliance.

it's not un entertaining.

To your point, there’s a good movie in this. You can tell with better oversight, editing, and a few script retouches, it could’ve been good. Damien just got high off his own farts

All Twitter hype apparently. It is not even on the Fandango poll, and audiences obviously are not into Margo Robbie when even her Harley Quinn projects are not resonating

another hunger games

Like most of those movies are sequels I didn’t ask for. It’s just lazy at this point

John Wick right in the veins breh.

That's it for me really.

I liked it but I can see people tuning out as it was three hours and Margot was Harley all over again in a way. The characters are spins on actual 1920s movie stars

‘Babylon’: The Myths and True Stories That Inspired the Classic Hollywood Epic

Real stars like Clara Bow and John Gilbert inspired the film’s central characters, while some debunked legends found new life.

But I think this should have stayed on MLK day. Or maybe Thanksgiving. Release date played a factor in this. It will do well streaming and cable during the afternoons.

Is this a wolf of wall street type craziness movie?

Pretty much. The craziness with Thalberg is in it's DNA.

 

[RennisDeynolds]

This wasn't Oscar bait it was one of those "star studded" period pieces make a movie for the hell of it movies


People are done with this shyt. Why Margot Robbie still booking jobs when she's proven she can't put asses in seats?

Flop after flop after flop. Brad Pitt was also putting out dogshyt for a good stretch there.

Shes the femal cac equivalent to Sam Worthington back in the early 2010s.

Ah, okay. Sorry, it took me awhile to figure out your were trolling. I'll be more careful in the future.

Yeah, you are perpetually online and have no shame about that. Hopefully, your tenuous grasp on reality is not upended altogether when Barbie inevitably is not the next Transformers

 

[Jean toomer]

Saw this in a completely empty theater. Once again, Chazelle trying to do too much. There were some spectacular scenes early but my god 3 hours was just brutal. Margot Robbie and Diego Calvi just cannot act. Brad Pitt is smug and punchable throughout. This is an unnecessary vanity piece.

Not surprising Pitt has never been a movie star more a media star
