"The public never really took to Wellesley like they did Nelson and like his great grandson was a great war politician but a poor prime minister in a time of peace. In fact the windows of his London home, Aspley House had the windows smashed so regularly that he had a wrought iron high fence put around the property, hence the periodical Punch satirising him and where he got his nickname 'the iron Duke' from."

"Duke of Wellington: [referring to his army] I don't know what they'll do to the enemy; but, by God, they frighten me tcog.... you been to the National Army museum at Chelsea?? Stuff they have got there is mind blowing regarding Waterloo.... Pictons hat with bullet hole in it (and lead ball taken from his head) ... the saw that cut off Uxbridge's leg... Wellington's cape from the battle... the skeleton of Marengo (Napoleon's horse)..."

"Agreed, they will never beat 1970 Waterloo Ney ; ' Wellingtons on the run - he's retreating ! ' Napoleon; ' If Wellingtons retreating, what are you doing here? ' ."

Re: 2020 Movies (now including 2021 and 2022)
Yeah it does rile me fella.... yeah I understand artistic licence... but fuck me don't rewrite history... it drives me mad... Waterloo (1970) is a brilliant and pretty accurate description of what happened.... certainly never had old' Boney on a horse flying into the British squares with his sabre flashing...... he had piles... he could barely stand never alone ride Marengo on a charge.
Re: 2020 Movies (now including 2021 and 2022)
"NS, You’re obviously far more clued up on the historical facts than me,I could like you easily be inquisitive to know more as my knowledge on such matters are limited at a push. Hats off. As a film to watch the time flew by really enjoyed it unlike like the flowery moon cinamatic repepertive endurance. Each to their own I spose."

"jfk... I thought total opposite ... I was really looking forward to Napoleon ... ever since I was a young lad I have been massively interested in the the Napoleonic Wars ... have visited Waterloo... seen the film 100 of times... same with Master and Commander... have read copious books, watched documentaries... so I am pretty clued up... which is what fucked me off with Ridley Scott completely re-writing history... he did not have to do it... it's a BRILLIANT story alone... you just had to retell it.... and his response to Historians of `well you wasn't fucking there' does not wash for me.... it was just a huge self indulgent jackanory mess for me... give me the Di caprio film any day of the week"
Re: 2020 Movies (now including 2021 and 2022)
Watched Napoleon earlier thought it was very good even though almost three hours(paused reluctantly for a shit tidley takeaway half way trough as herself insisted)long. Miles better than killers of the flower moon shit that I got dragged along to the pictures to watch.

"I've just read that they're making ‘THE NAKED GUN’ reboot (surprise surprise another reboot), coming out next year. It looks like HOLLYWOOD doesn't want to involve the writers or director of the original, so you know it's going to be extremely shit."

Re: 2020 Movies (now including 2021 and 2022)
Watched Zone of Interest last night (on the box)... I'm with you Chim... certainly played on my mind... the sound editing was superb... that constant background... mechanical sound.. brilliantly done.... very uneasy viewing and sometimes the best horrors are not what you see... very very clever. Interesting reading up about the Hoess family after... old Rudy had a bit of a climbdown at the N'burg trial... knew he was a bit of a cսnt and apologised for his general cuntishness... where as his missus fucked off to the US... died in washington DC in the 90's IIRC

"""Everything coming out is a prequal, sequel, reboot or remake nowadays."" I guess that's probably because those things don't need to build an audience from scratch, and there's not enough cinemagoers these days for producers to risk spending a big budget on something new which could well be a financial disaster. With sequels and the like it's a lot easier to pre-sell distribution rights and have a lot of the budget covered before they even start filming."

"I guess it's not for everyone Manip and won't have enough skinny naked dead people bulldozed into holes, but personally I thought it was a masterpiece. It's strange that the second time I saw it was with my brother and I realised (for the first time) that it appears that there's not a lot going on and some people (including my brother) wouldn't 'get' it and think it's shit. I was too busy trying to peep over the walls and through open doors to find it boring, just quietly horrifying. My brother came out and to his credit said that he thought it was brilliant."

"Just got back from finding out The Zone of Interest wasn't very interesting. Gave it an hour, nothing happened, so left. Shit. swt"
Re: 2020 Movies (now including 2021 and 2022)
"Lee Trundle - You are so right. I miss my old mate who ran a video shop, who knew every customers tastes and I never had a bad film from him. Only thing he didn't advise on was comedy. I think half the problem is there isn't original writing anymore and the days of many films being adapted from books seems long gone. Many of my favourites come from adaptations from the likes of Alistair Maclean, Frederick Forsyth, John Le Carre, John Grisham and Ian Fleming of course."

"How has this fallen from the first page? I've been a busy boy with my film watching lately and saw (again) the fantastic 'The Zone of Interest' at the cinema (again!), The Holdovers and American Fiction. All of those are well worth watching if you value craft, screenwriting and an ability for you to to look at things from a completely different perspective than your own. After that it's just slim pickings as there's no need for Hollywood to release anything decent because those films are good shots for making the Oscars. Anything else great now will be forgotten until the next Oscars in a year's time which is pointless to the cunts who have to look at their phones 3 times during a film."
