At the NYC premiere of BABYLON, from left, moderator Josh Horowitz, Damien Chazelle, Diego Calva, Margot Robbie, Brad Pitt, Jean Smart, Jovan Adepo & Li Jun Li. Reviews embargoed until December so for now I’ll just say this is A LOT of movie & leave it to other folks to Babble On pic.twitter.com/PUPzxHqu1Z

Brad Pitt fell out of his chair at the start of the Q&A and turned it into a slapstick bit. Put him in a silent film…

Margot Robbie explained what HAPPY SAD CONFUSED is to Brad Pitt today.

That’s a thing that happened.
Chazelle basically plagiarizes from BOOGIE NIGHTS and PURPLE ROSE OF CAIRO at times, but also, like, 1941. That’s the secret sauce!

#Babylon: Over-the-top ode to Old Hollywood turns into a bad MAD Magazine parody of itself. Margot Robbie and Brad Pitt are game but wasted by scattershot script. Diego Calva and Jean Smart impress despite the chaos, which includes flung elephant dung. Damien Chazelle's folly? pic.twitter.com/RpzikhN4Jd
