Whatever you think of Michael Bay as a filmmaker and of the quality of the movie itself, it's truly impressive to me that he managed to make Ambulance for $40 million. Looks and feels much more expensive. Refreshing and commendable!

Let's watch Babylon together, Jorge. Then maybe me and Ello can watch Ant-man 3.

Babylon was perfect for a movie theatre experience. Try to watch it on the biggest screen available

Yeah and my local theater only had it for like a week because no one went to see it and those who did watch it hated it. Maybe someday, who knows

you could have seen it on Recoleta, which is a very good theatre. It was there for like a month or so.
As for people hating something, who cares

I have a visceral reaction to advertising and promotion. There's just something about salesmanship that grates on me on a very base level and I react very negatively towards it. I want those people to suffer and I want their enterprises to fail.

Babylon is great. I still think about it often and saw it ages ago.
Can’t believe Jorge hasn’t seen it just because some dummies said it was no good. Think for yourself!

Imagine getting a press pass to an indie film festival and being like "nah I didn't see Babylon but Ant Boy and the God of Thunder 7, yeah that sure was disappointing".
Fuck you.

I famously only watch comic book movies. That's why I didn't see Babylon, it looked too artistic and high-brow. It's Damien Chazelle after all

Too artistic? What a nothingburger criticism. And you haven't even seen it! I'm distraught.

You didn't see it because your local theatre sucks and you're lazy.
Again -- fuck you.

Being serious, yeah basically. Maybe someday I'll watch it but honestly it looks real bad and it's really long so I'm not going to try too hard
