24: The Movie
Watch every second of Jack Bauer’s day. Probably skip the first 8 hours, it’s just a long sleep scene.

Well now I want to wait for the director’s cut to watch.

Just like Kingdom of Heaven

I’m still waiting for the DR of Prometheus where it all makes sense.
Any day now…

Me, an intellectual, wondering whether or not Josephine was the name of the llama, colorized:
Spoiler alert: ::: spoiler The llama was named Tina :::

Damn Napoleon going to be shorter than this cut of the movie.
(Yeah yeah i know he was average height for his time)

A good response to historical inaccuracies found in the trailer from the Waterloo Association: www.youtube.com/watch?v=qlbXiYLi1ys

Back in the day, the Soviet Red Army trained 16,000 troops in Napoleonic Era artillery, cavalry, and infantry tactics. They were first used in the Russian movie ‘War And Peace.’ Hollywood hired them out for ‘Waterloo’ with Rod Steiger.
If you want to see a great reenactment of the battle, watch that movie. I’m speaking specifically about military tactics.

Christ, if the video is an hour long how long is the trailer??
ABCDE@lemmy.world 1 year ago
Aha, three minutes I think? There is so much history in that period, that even the appearance and the fact that there is a speaking part for one person in the trailer gives those in the video hope for the movie.

I'm starting to think Ridley may have lost it.
ScorpionFrog@lemmy.world 1 year ago
4 and a half hours is too long
CeruleanRuin@lemmings.world 1 year ago
For a theater, yes. But for home video, where people can and often do watch movies in chunks anyway, length doesn’t matter as much.
I’d love it if he just dropped it as two films, released a month apart. That would drive people to see the first part so that they can be caught up for part two.
mnemonicmonkeys@sh.itjust.works 1 year ago
Unfortunately that likely wouldn’t work great. The only people that would be interested in watching part 2 are the people that only watched part 1. And business is often a numbers game
AlicePraxis@hexbear.net 1 year ago
idk Ridley, maybe it’s great but directors have a lot of hubris in thinking anyone would want to sit through a 4.5 hour film. at that point your best bet is to release it as a miniseries like the extended cut of Hateful Eight
reddig33@lemmy.world 1 year ago
Wasn’t Kubrick originally going to do this movie?
LeberechtReinhold@lemmy.world 1 year ago
There has been many Napoleon projects, starting with the 1927 silent epic. Kubrick researched a long time for his project but never had time to do it. Spielberg is collaborating with HBO to use that script for a miniseries though.
brsrklf@compuverse.uk 1 year ago
What is it with Spielberg finishing Kubrick’s stuff? No disrespect to either, but it’s not like their works are very similar.
CeruleanRuin@lemmings.world 1 year ago
Of course Ridley Scott has multiple different cuts.
Zorque@kbin.social 1 year ago
Will it also be in black and white so you can't tell how bad the effects are?
psycho_driver@lemmy.world 1 year ago
Set to release on Nov 22 in major markets for anyone else about to ask in the thread instead of just look it up like I almost did.
BertramDitore@lemmy.world 1 year ago
The true hero. Preempting your own well-earned laziness to spare us all the same effort. I thank you.
lou_profile@lemmy.world 1 year ago
The normal cut btw, not the long one mentioned in the title. In case someone, like me, thinks the long will be released in November. Not to downplay your comment though
