Todd in the ShadowsLike, I haven't seen "Babylon" yet but it looks bad, right? It looks very bad? The trailers were bad? It tells you nothing about what the movie is actually about?
Aunt Bee's Kerosene Cucumbers@ToddInTheShadows I won't waste my time on Babylon but am spending my day rewatching Todd In The Shadows videos. I need some laughs today and you kill me. Thanks! I love your videos.

Good cast but
> Its plot chronicles the rise and fall of multiple characters during Hollywood's transition from silent to sound films in the late 1920s.
Nothing about that requires a trip to the cinema. It'll turn up on Netflix or HBO or whatever in a couple months.
librazero@ToddInTheShadows It’s actually fairly good, but 3 hours of learning about how films in the 20s and 30s were made isn’t everyone’s cup of tea. It also shifts a bit between comedy and drama until finally settling on drama about 2/3 through. Biggest strength is the individual character moments when everything slows down just enough for them to realize how crazy their lives are.
I don’t mind 3+ hour movies, but they should bring back the intermission to make them more palatable.
