Napoleon (Ridley Scott) - 11/22/23

Spoiler: show

I think making him a buffoon in private life could have worked if they also explained why he was so brilliant on the battlefield. Could have been an interesting story to show that contrast. But this is just bad comedy...it all feels so surface level and choppy...no real characters come through.

F stars!

Agreed. I expected much more of the latter. This movie made him seem boring, which I doubt he was.

Doesn't help that I watched Barry Lyndon recently and it's a thousand times better.

I knew little to nothing about this going in, but watched it earlier this year and loved it.

That's a high bar

Whenever there's active promotion on the part of somebody else, whenever I see somebody all dolled up for a fancy photograph and someone's handing out flyers or whenever there's active promotion for something like that, as an imposition on my day, I hate all those people and I want them to fail. I have a visceral reaction to advertising and promotion. There's just something about salesmanship that grates on me on a very base level and I react very negatively towards it. I want those people to suffer and I want their enterprises to fail.

And you know where that term originated?

You’re damn right it refers to napoleon

[lennytheweedwhacker]

I believe that was Super Mario.

[Mecca]

5’9” is slightly above average. Chin up, Lenny

I have answered this in the appropriate thread.

My other half says the new hunger games is truly awful. And he’s a huge fan of the books and films.

A lot of people seem to love it. Rated high by the audience on letterboxd, rotten tomatoes and imdb. Big box office success as well.

I enjoyed the original movies, not seen this one yet. But YA movies often feel a bit fake to me, in a way even something like Lord Of The Rings or Star Wars doesn’t. Like those it’s a fantastical setting, but somehow feels a bit less genuine. If Harry Potter can be considered YA, they did it right though.

[BurtReynolds]

I wouldn't say it's a huge hit. It underperformed last week, but held pretty strong. But by today's lowered standards I guess it is.

Harry Potter isn't YA, though it did skew a little older as it went.
