Factual error: At the end of the film a character is walking through a studio lot in 1952. Through the trees behind him can be seen a section of a poster advertising Jackass Forever (2022).
Babylon (2022)
Directed by: Damien Chazelle
Starring: Brad Pitt, Margot Robbie, Jean Smart
Jack Conrad: I had a good run, didn't I?
Kingpin: OK, so there's this 10 year old kid and he's a prodigy. Good with words, plays piano, recites Lincoln. But the twist is, he's a 50 year old midget! The joke's on us.
Manny Torres: That is good.
James McKay: Welcome to the asshole of Los Angeles.
Question: Jack Conrad's final movie, where he and Irving Thalberg say that the movie is terrible or in Jack's words: "a giant swing of mediocrity", how do we know if they're right or wrong on that? Do we we find out whether or not it was a success or is it what Jack and Irv actually say it is? I also ask this because a friend goes up to Jack and says "Jack's back. Way to go, Jack."
