Anyone see Babel?

Is it just me or was that movie the BIGGEST RIPOFF of "Crash?" Crash was first and better. Brad Pitt should be ashamed of himself.

Update:

OK, I'll give you that, but just reassure me that Babel sucked, please so I stop thinking I'm crazy.

Update 2:

savage, I love your head.

    Babel was absolutely HORRIBLE!!! I actually fell asleep at the end, which is pretty bad for me because I love movies in general...

    Crash was an amazing movie with a very different message for AMERICANS to get off their racist, sexist and politically correct behinds. That movie was incredible and I don't recall that Magnolia got the Academy Award for best picture..... But CRASH did...

    Seeing as how they were filming "Babel" before "Crash" even came out, I'd hardly call it a rip-off. Both movies use a multi-character, multi-story format popularized (and perfected) by Robert Altman back in the 70's. (See: "Nashville")

    BTW, I actually thought "Babel" was excellent. Very moving film.

    Nah, Crash was a big rip-off of Magnolia, which is the best.
