invisible airwave Posted November 13 Share Posted November 13 One good thing I'll say about streamer distributing is that it's given directors more like him and Scorsese creative freedom while Paramount and Sony just distribute for theaters. Ridley is no stranger to studios screwing him over. Just look at what 20th Century Fox did to Kingdom of Heaven. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
JohnRogers Posted November 13 Share Posted November 13 I'm looking forward to it. Often I say I'll go see something in the theater only to be lazy and stream it later on my 70" with a nice bottle of wine. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Principled Man Posted November 13 Author Share Posted November 13 2 hours ago, blackhawkrush said: Is he short enough? According to pre–metric system French measures, he was a diminutive 5′2.” However, the French inch ("pouce") of the time was 2.7 cm, while the Imperial inch was shorter, at 2.54 cm. Three French sources—his valet Constant, General Gourgaud, and his personal physician Francesco Antommarchi—said that Napoleon's height was just over ‘5 pieds 2 pouces’ (5’2”). Applying the French measurements of the time, that equals around 1.67 meters, or just under 5’6”, which is a little above average for a French man in the early 1800s. https://www.history.com/news/napoleon-complex-short 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The story is supposedly his career through the eyes of his relationship with Josephine, so it may be quite fictional.

In fact, I just found a source where he's listed at 5'7''. 'The Little Corporal' title still remains. Edited November 13 by blackhawkrush Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It's not a documentary so it's historical accuracy isn't that important. Edited November 14 by BastillePark 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
