    I’m on a strict “don’t trust trailers” diet since seeing the new Napoleon film, so I’ll wait and see for this series.

        I haven’t seen it yet, but one review said it was one of the most unintentionally funny movies of the year.

        Also Ridley Scott is doing a hilarious press tour for it.

        Scott was informed of some less than stellar French reviews of his film – French GQ called it “deeply clumsy” and “unintentionally funny” – to which Scott replied with the following solid gold banger: “The French don’t even like themselves.”

        But don’t think that insulting an entire country is enough for Scott. Speaking to the Sunday Times’s Jonathan Dean last weekend, he also reserved some ire for historians, some of whom have suggested that Napoleon might not be the most rigorously accurate film ever made. Scott responded by addressing the entire historian community. “Excuse me, mate, were you there?” he raged. “No? Well, shut the fuck up then.”

          So your saying that its good but not historically accurate. I love history but I can enjoy historical fiction just as much.

          'Excuse me, mate, were you there? No? Well, shut the f*** up then.’
