I would have thought the Elephant taking a sh*t at the beginning of the film would have made a glorious wraparound spot gloss cover-back.

That being said, the one we do have is pretty beautifully produced.

The film has grown on me more and more after a few watches - much like the brilliant 'Blonde' - especially so for the glorious Toby Maguire/Ethan Suplee cameos in the last quarter.
I do think in a few years it'll be reappraised by the harsher critics, its jumbo schizophrenic stir fry of ideas will find more audiences down the line I'm sure.

Everywhere I read about it, people were excited and appalled it wasn't even nominated for Best Picture.
It already has cult status, if that's appropriate to say about such a big film.
I'm sure The Academy will realize its mistake, like so many others, but it doesn't really matter, if people put it in its proper place in their hearts and collections and online lists.
I had to move my Top 10 of all time for the first time in almost 20 years, for Babylon!
