Admittedly Joaquin Phoenix looks slightly less unlike Napoleon than the typical caricatures of Napoleon in English language films.    But still, Napoleon was famously baby faced, and was in his late 20s and 30s when he won all of his major battlefield victories.      Why does Joaquin Phoenix look every brooding minute of his grizzled 48 years as he played Napoleon at Austerlitz?    He looked more like Napoleon when he depicted the Patricidal Roman Emperor Commodus in the Russel Crow flick Gladiator 23 years ago. 

Think Marlon Brando’s depiction in 1954 film  Desiree still looked the most like the real Napoleon of any mainstream English language film depiction

If Jaoquin Phoenix is going to play Napoleon, I’m boycotting the movie unless it turns out that they cast the dick monster from Beau is Afraid as Wellington.

Not much.

‘Hot Fuzz’ (2007) holds the record for the longest cinematic firefight without a single death - 18 minutes, 11 seconds.

during WWII, 28,500 bullets were fired for each gunfire casualty suffered.    most fire arms used by the combatants that wore out through firing never hit a single person.

And for me the award for the longest and most pointless martial arts fights would go to the Matrix films. I really can't stand the martial arts fights in those films, just for the logical inconsistency of it; ie if you can't hurt eachother why spend ten minutes fighting each other? Just really bugs me about those films, but anywhere else I love a good martial arts fight.

Since the human population of North Korea is only 25 million, while the rate population of North Korean may well be over 360 million, those Christian’s being persecuted there must be Christian rats.
