seems increasingly likely that chazelle suffers from the terminal brain disease that afflicts david o russell. babylon has big amsterdam energy, overstuffed in all the wrong ways and I find it impossibly hard to consider it not being anything other than shit. but then i made it through the menu, so who am i to throw stones
Thanks.
The Menu > Babylon
MacGruber > The Menu
And they say that a hero could save us
I'm not gonna stand here and wait

What do you think of the Strays trailer?
Seems a bit much. And I don’t like animals.

The difference between them is that David O thinks he is funny and Chazzelle thinks he is the most important filmmaker of his generation. Neither is right, but Chazzelle is at least competent. Babylon's biggest issue is that it overreaches

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.

I don't get that impression from Chazzelle at all. Babylon seems like a strong statement against that, in fact.
No opinion on David O as a person. I'm not sure I've ever heard him talk. But I still enjoy most of his movies. Haven't seen Amsterdam.
