@bryan I mean even beyond any historical inaccuracy, it was just objectively bad. Why go to the trouble of having Joaquin Phoenix be in your movie and then have the worst, most boring and predictable dialogue and pair him with a Josephine where there’s obviously no chemistry, and she’s supposed to be the love of his life. They are just out there walking around in costumes. That was not acting, and that movie sucked. I don’t care if it was Ridley Scott or whose name was on it. #Napolean #Movies

“The new study examined DNA from the teeth of 13 French soldiers buried during the retreat in a mass grave in Vilnius, Lithuania. (The grave was discovered during construction in 2001.)” #DNA #ISOGG #Napolean #French #geneadons

My PR people insist I get in front of this right away:
No, it was *not* I who broke into the Louvre earier today in Paris and (reportedly) stole Napolean's crown jewels.
I was sleeping at the time. Admittedly I did *dream* about it, though.
Quite vividly.
Quite.
Still dreaming about it. Vividly.

This is the most frightening #ExecutiveOrder yet. #Napolean is in the house.

After seeing #Napolean I decided to read the #sequels. Frankly the premise runs itself a bit thin at this point. After two botched coup attempts, #nepobaby Luis #NapoleanIII simply runs for election as president of France and wins on name recognition. One can only push suspension of disbelief so far. #franchise #history
Finally saw Ridley Scott’s #Napolean. While I rarely agree with others’ reviews of movies, I largely agree with others on this one. Maybe it tried to cover too much. Maybe it should have been a multi-season series.
I’ve seen documentaries where I could feel the extreme danger he had put himself and his men into during the invasion of Russia. I felt none of that danger here, snd I felt they needed to move on to finish in under three hours.
@alexskunz
Yeah, the Wikipedia page was more entertaining and had better writing.

Since I know that #BastilleDay brought the world all of the suffering caused by #Napolean, I wouldn't storm the Bastille personally.
I think nowadays that we should talk more about France's February 6th than their July 14th.

@smlx4 Not sure ##Irish #Italians can't be called out for observing the complete absence of #Cannolis and #Napoleans here. Itza complex ethnologic issue. Proximity matters. How far is dominance in #Pastry relevant ? What are the #ICBMs of pastry in terms of range ? Can a Cannoli go farther than a #Napolean ? Are the #French in the game...or might #LinzerTorte 's outperform them all ?
My favorite place in #NOLA.
Napolean House is dripping with history.
