Two Brad Pitt movies that I suspect are not going to be very good.
I gave into the temptation and rented Babylon for 5.99 and regretted it immediately.
The movie is a jumbled mess.
The premise, era and subject material is plenty good enough for a movie, but they dropped the ball.
They did much better with "La La Land" as this is from the same people.
This movie, Babylon, was basically another vehicle for Hollywood to show off homosexuality and lesbians.
And of course, how bad Black People and Asians have it in America.
Anyways, I got to the 2-hour mark before shutting it off.
The movie is just over 3 hours long.
It's as if they stole the blueberry pie, throw up scene from "Stand by Me".
I was ready to turn it off before the first hour, but this scene was the straw that broke the camel's back for me.
I can't recommend the movie, but it will be free on TV eventually and you can watch it and decide for yourself.
If you rent it at Redbox for 1 or 2 dollars, I guess that is more justified, but 6 dollars is far too much.
I should have got Bullet Train for free with this purchase.
I hate Apple TV but I'm locked in.
