Babylon (Damien Chazelle - December 2021) • Page 12

“First” trailer for a 10 year old movie ?

 

I will be seated and air drumming

 

not my tempo.

 

Team Babylon!

 

I stand that with some serious editing down, it would have been an instant classic and best picture winner.

 

It could easily be a Best Picture winner. Green Book, Crash, American Beauty. It clearly wanted to be.

 

she is right

 

It certainly could have and should have replaced either All Quiet on the Western Front, Triangle of Sadness or Women Talking on that best picture lineup

 

let's fucking go

Smart choice.

 

don’t start with me

 

be for real

 

I feel like working with Martin Scorsese during one of his greatest runs versus working with Damien Chazelle trying to get out of director jail is an easy decision.

 

what am i starting with? that babylon is good? i’ve been on this for years. i’m playing the hits.

 

no that choosing to work with Marty instead of Damien is a bad choice

 

i assumed he was saying that bc he’s been on the record as a babylon skeptic, not bc of propping up marty

yes i agree martin scorsese is better than damien chazelle lol sorry for offending

 

apology accepted

 

Something I just realized is that while DiCaprio is famous for avoiding franchise films and working with real filmmakers, he hasn't really ever starred in a movie by an up-and-coming director. Sure you have Ridley Scott and Martin Scorsese and James Cameron and Steven Spielberg and Christopher Nolan and Clint Eastwood, but where did he ever take scale and help someone who had one or two festival darlings?

 

DiCaprio likes young women, not young directors
