My initial reaction to this headline: the fuck is Babylon?

[–] keyez@lemmy.world 4 points 9 hours ago

I would have to agree, I saw it on streaming months after it was available and really enjoyed the movie. The trailer in the theater made me not want to see it but once I did I wish I had seen it in theaters.

Individually, scenes are amazing. But as a movie? A complete waste of time. That's why it flopped, because it was just rich people burning money for absolutely nothing.

The AI industry: hold my beer...

I’m one of those people. Knew about it for a while cause I’m a movie nerd but I read the plot.

It sounded like rich people indulging in hedonism.

Didn’t peak my interest.

Wait so it’s not the highest point of my interest?

God damn English, I thought I had learned you by now.

[–] swordgeek@lemmy.ca 6 points 12 hours ago (1 children)

Always happy to help spread linguistic oddities.

And if I've learned anything about English, it's that you never learn it - you just learn more of it.

[–] Grandwolf319@sh.itjust.works 7 points 12 hours ago (1 children)

So I guess you could say, you’ll never reach the peak?

[–] JeeBaiChow@lemmy.world 2 points 11 hours ago* (last edited 11 hours ago)

Just don't say it's piquant. That means your interest has soured. That'd be for the people who did watch it.

[–] DudeImMacGyver@sh.itjust.works 5 points 12 hours ago

You could say peak of your interest, but yeah, it's piqued.

[–] Siathes@lemmy.dbzer0.com 11 points 15 hours ago

Thank you TIL

[–] keyez@lemmy.world 2 points 9 hours ago

The initial trailers put me off as well but the movie itself is about much more than that, is really well done and it's entertaining

[–] Carvex@lemmy.world 14 points 15 hours ago

It came out in 2022 and I've never heard of it, like not one commercial or preview. A quick search shows it's over 3 hours long, drags out with no clear point and misrepresents history pretty badly. I'm not really surprised

[–] wharsmetoothpicson@lemmy.world 5 points 12 hours ago (1 children)

I'm not sure anyone will be thinking anything about it in 20 years.

[–] njm1314@lemmy.world 2 points 11 hours ago

Other than her I'm not sure anybody was thinking about it 2 years after it came out

[–] emax_gomax@lemmy.world 6 points 15 hours ago (1 children)

Didn't help the plot is completely opaque. I still have no idea what it's about. It is in my to-watch list tho.

[–] SanctimoniousApe@lemmings.world 2 points 13 hours ago

Sounds like those who've seen it still don't know any more than you do.
