Super Sweet Movie Discussion Thread

Land of Bad (trailer).

It looks like a mash up of a couple different moves I have seen but of which I can't recall the names.

 
Saw the movie, Napoleon. Ridley Scott will always gets the benefit of the doubt with me, but this was Joaquin Phoenix in a funny hat, a script that dumbed-down history, gave us Josephine hiking up her dress to show Nappy the magic puss...and skimmed through the highlights of his rise and reign like a series of elaborate CGI flashcards. Having said that, visually some pretty cool battle scenes.

Now, truth be told, I like boobs just as much as any man and Vanessa Kirby looked pretty good in a low-cut--really low cut--Empire dress; but let's face it: the movie was shot in its entirety in 62 days. That's two months on an epic about a dude who did more crazy world-changing shit in his 51 years than...well, just about anybody.

I can say this honestly. Napoleon Dynamite was far more entertaining.

I've read that Steven Spielberg and HBO were working on a Napoleon mini series, based on a script by Kubrick. That sounds promising.
Scott's movie was entertaining in some ways ( prob not the intended ) but terrible enough in terms of historical accuracy, that it did bother me. The wardrobe was pretty authentic though.
It was almost a and prob should have been a Josephine movie all along. There's just too many historical events to stuff into one flick ... or maybe just leave unimportant things out, when you don't do much character development anyway. Idk.

2 spyglass scoped rifles out of 5 for me.
