Babylon sits in the perfect resting stop of concern and admiration - you know what that is? A liar.
For a film dedicated to showing the depths of this industry, it loves to reminisce on the good ole days. Babylon seeks to rekindle that hunger for cinema in the boldest (western) sense. One masturbatory and one encased in a chastity belt. The film lives within contradictions, and one could call it a weak moral structure.

The line of what a movie is continues to blur. The transition from the internet to full-scale films from people of the internet, it's an infinitely innovative idea allowing anyone the opportunity to get their art out to the world.

If you're going to critique late-stage capitalism, going soft on Amazon is pretty lame.

My biggest issue upon revisiting this film is that James doesn't have a lot of characterization as James has the same traits that characters like Oliver have…
I am not kidding this is the most annoying comedy special I have ever seen. I actually lost laughter to this special. Talking down to the audience doesn't make you smart or funny especially when you talk about common sense things. You see I'm an adult so I can be comprehensive about the world around me and how hard it can be but I an not an asshole about it. Especially when this one of the most aggravating pieces of…
fuck you guys so much i fucking hate all of you fuck you. one of the worst things ever made. embarrassing for everyone involved and you should be ashamed for enjoying this.
I was a bit buzzed writing that portion but it was seriously the only way I could get through the movie. That and watching with friends kept me going too which helped.
This movie Jesus Christ where does one even start?
We could start on the lack of…
