I do kind of wish Peter Weir was directing this, after Master+Commander I figured he'd be a great pick for a Napoleon movie. Not sure if any of this is based on the unfinished Kubrick ideas.

Spielberg's miniseries is the one based on the Kubrick project.

I will not shut up about the Mighty Morphin Power Rangers. I talk about them all the time and work them into every conversation I have. I built a shrine in my room for the yellow one who died because sadly no one noticed because she died around 9/11. Wanna see it?

Honestly, don't care for it. It's very trailer in everything it does and it confirms that it's going the direction that I hoped a modern Napoleon biopic wouldn't go which is basically trying to be like an epic that goes all over the place and covers alot of time, maybe even his whole career, rather than instead focusing on a more narrow, character-defining event.

I'm going through Justified for the first time (by accident just in time for a special new season this month?) and I love scene with the Ice Pick killer in season 3 where Raylan moves the table cloth and shoots that dumbass. I like how it subverts the idea of a recurring villain... like that guy was seriously creepy but his gimmick would wear thin in the real world

Good thing that's most of the movie. The weakest part is the Duchess of Richmond's Ball nonsense. All the stuff with Boney marching on Paris and immediately sending out a bunch of "get hosed, scrubs" missives to the rest of Europe is great.

Runtime for Ridley Scott's Napoleon is confirmed at 190 minutes.

Also, the only movies that are too long are those that don't use their time efficiently. That can happen as easily in a 80 minute movie as in a 200 minute one. Shorter doesn't always equal better, and can often equal worse. Don't let film critics who have to watch movies for their job (and thus wish everything was shorter so they wouldn't have to work as long) try and convince you otherwise.

The Michael Rapaport season was kind of a mess, but even that had good stuff in it, like the payoff to the 21 foot rule. And the last season was an all timer.

Whenever I see people demanding that movies in general be shorter (I know I've done this myself in the past ITT but more than anything else I miss the idea of intermissions so I can go piss), I think back to Nostalgia Critic's lovely remake of Pink Floyd's The Wall where among his many other weird complaints about The Wall he complained that the runtime (95 minutes) was too long. His previous film before that review was To Boldly Flee, a film that clocked in at 3 hours and 29 minutes.

That Boon dude was such a loving creep. But a genuine threat for once.

And yeah the Crowe season was definitely the weakest but it was still watchable as all hell.
