Movies: BABYLON Brad Pitt, Margot Robbie, Diego Calva, Tobey Maguire

[Jumptheshark]

This is one of those movies that could have a more interesting back story than the actual movie. When the movie was first announced they said it was going to be about the first "It" girl in Hollywood.

While the movie was in production, the rumours of what Bow did in her life were discussed and they decided to make it more fictional and change the title and go off in a different direction

Maybe the orgy was too long? Should have tightened that up a bit to no more than 10 minutes. Too much of a good thing perhaps?

Is a 25-minute orgy something you want to watch in a theater? Sounds more like something that's going to drive up streaming numbers.

It definitely is a mess, but it is an interesting mess.

At this point Robbie needs Barbie to be smash hit because she is starting to show she doesn't have much appeal at box office being part of two of the biggest bombs in recent memory

Have not heard anything about this scene, it must not be very memorable

By Pasolini standards, it's not much of an orgy.

The orgy scene was too long, too much, too gross and set up a lousy pace for the movie. A midget riding a big fake dick that shoots out a white substance, items getting shoved up people's rears, and a fat guy getting pissed on. And those are just what I remember.

And frankly, I'm just not aroused by graphic 1920's styled sex scenes.

I could have done without it.

I mean...I'm not intending to kink shame because what people do in bed ain't my business, but that's so over the top by major movie standards that it sounds more Rule 34 than studio movie.

What the actual f*** did I just read

it is from the book hollywood babylon

Hollywood Babylon - Wikipedia

en.wikipedia.org

The orgy was part of a reported gang bang that Cara Bow participated in where John Wayne was reportedly at.

It has been disproven after someone looked at the timing of the reported event and where everyone was at the time. Clara Bow's assistant sued here and made all the allegations in court. so right or wrong, they fall into public domain to be reported as fact and not allegations.

Although many of Anger's claims have been denounced as untrue since the book's initial publication,[3][2] it is nonetheless responsible for many oft-quoted urban legends. For example, it claimed that Clara Bow engaged in sex with the entire USC football team, including a young John Wayne, a fallacy which has been debunked several times.[3] Bow's sons considered suing Anger at the time of the book's second release

Like I posted originally..I think if they had stuck to the original story of being Bow's story it would have far more interesting.

Not saying Bow was G rated in anyway shape or form--but due to what her assistant did, her public image was changed.

Originally the story was to be a juxtaposition of how the media can twist and control how the public and history view someone

Sounds like an AEW match with The Young Bucks and Omega

why did they keep saying his when referring to her?

I know things changed half way through shooting if you mean that..
not seen the movie yet

The article was referring to the real life Clara Bow, not the Babylon movie. They didnt do that pronoun BS back then far as I know


In most of article they use hers but some they say his. Here is one example which ends with she derves it.. It is a tad confusing:
"Unfortunately, not even with Babylon is his memory treated with the necessary respect and distance. Will we ever have a careful version of his life? She deserves it."

Hard to imagine a 25 minute non XXX orgy scene. How much of it if any was centered around Margot Robbie's character? Will this be her "Showgirls" and basically end her Hollywood career?
