With Napoleon it's hard to determine

I never saw the 4 hour version with the Coppola soundtrack.
I only ever saw it with Carl Davis' score, and it worked really well.
My favorite sequence was at the beginning when Napoleon, as a boy, takes charge of the snowball fight.

I have to say I hate the whole genre of heroic-izing monarchy. Also, they're pretending that under all that frockery Napoleon is a regular sized or even large person.
Again, normal human proportions are that a person is seven heads high. Superheros are drawn eight heads high to make them look heroic. Real Nappy was four or five heads high.

Yes. In real ermine, the dots are the tail tips, which remain black even when the (normally brown) ermine or stoat switches to its white winter coat.

Actually, you're correct. As much as we love to talk smack about the surrender-monkey Frogs (and as much as they often deserve it), they still have the ability to cut a bitch, IF they get the politicians off their backs.

Well said. There is a core of badasses in France still today. They stay quiet because they risk being pilloried by the metrosexual soi-bois in government and media (sound familiar?)
Look up Joesef Galleini. He kicked the asses of muslims, Vietnamese and Germans. There are plenty of Gallieni's in France, but they remain silent until needed.
(On September 11th, the badasses in our country came out because the pussies in the media needed us. Now, they mock us, and marginalize us. I didn't see any metrosexuals climbing stairs in the Twin Towers to save anyone's life, did you?)
The strong French are there. They are just silent.

While I don't know the absolute origins of that symbol. It is seen a lot in religious art. As a royal scepter, it was first used by Charlemagne. Napoleon is linking himself to the originator of the first French Empire, saying he is the heir to Charles and surpasses him.

I only know it from the Opinel logo, not any of the religious or political symbolism (I didn't know it went as far back as Charlemagne in a royal context). It's on the coat of arms of Saint-Jean-de-Maurienne; I think it's just used for the knives as a regional thing.

French army in WWI, at least the average poilu was actually better than then their later reputation would suggest. Valiant men, as good as the Brits or Germans, I think. It was they that pioneered the "bite and hold" idea that proved to be the most effective Allied strategy, I think.
The mutiny of 1916 is explained some exceedingly bad leadership that wasn't bothering to even trying to avoid casualties when possible.

I cannot see museums banning easels since copying older works has been a
part of learning art since the beginning. It's possible that one
doesn't see a lot of copiers because respect for the Old Masters doesn't
seem (to me) to be taught as much. I saw a copier at my local gallery a
few years back, and I know they are very strict on what you can and
cannot bring in.
Respect for anything or anyone is pretty much dead these days. Progressivism killed it on purpose.

Do you think that is consciously imitated in the "windowed" works by Alphonse Mucha? He uses a lot of circles to frame his main subjects, and the Arte Nouveau used a lot of classical and figurative imagery.

This art and this piece in particular inspired much of the Warhammer 40k Imperial art. Games Workshop does love to rip off other, better work.
I think Napoleon was the last time the French were really respected and feared. I know Churchill's quote about the French Army but history showed how well THAT worked. After Napoleon, France tore itself apart, socially, religiously, intellectually and never was unified and powerful.
I wonder sometimes if our fate is to wind up like France...

Were those peaceful tanks rolling through the streets of Budapest, Hungary in 1956?
The Russian invasion of Crimea in 2014? Europe.
And we'll be charitable and exclude The Algerian War from 1954 to 1962 which involved, uhhh, France. Also Europe.
Oh, and that whole Cold War thing? Not peace. Europe. Berlin Wall, medium range missiles, divided Germany. Not peace.

If a right winger doxes a lefty it's investigated as a hate crime his employer is pressured to fire him by violent protestors and a slut-skank prosecutor like Marylin Moaby tries to make a career out of prosecuting the right winger for anything g and everything possible and then some.

The French have tried to work up 'grandeur' in any manner of ways since 1815, some have worked better than others.
They went and spun up a bunch of colonies; unlike the Brits when they left or were pushed out there wasn't a semblance of a Europeanized civil society left to pick up what was left.
They did come up with The Bomb and de Gaulle was happy to rattle it periodically but for all the EU patter of post Fourth Republic governments they haven't given the Krauts the keys to the sub.
Concorde was a French development - say what you want about the Brit engines, the Brit design, blah, it was French will who brought it into existence. Likewise French will created Airbus.
They are probably the only European power - UK not excluded - that doesn't wring its hands overly long about throwing power (what they can, where they can.) I'm sure it burns that the A-400M really doesn't do the job and the Brits and Aussies and etc. kept coming back begging for a couple more C-17s...

It's just like any other entitlement in that there's more people that take out versus pay in.
If there was a groundswell of people that really wanted ObamaCAre defeated, I tend to think Republicans would have done better.
I never saw a single Republican ad talking about ObamaCare repeal this cycle.
Keeping ObamaCare was all I saw from Democrats.

So what to do?
You can do the following...
1. Insurance companies must cover pre-exisitng conditons.
2. The insured must pay to "buy-up" this coverage in their health plans.
3. The price will be capped at, say, 10pct of the cost of the entire plan or some other negotiated number, it could be means tested but you get the gist.
Now the Donks and communists will fight this as they fight everything but at least we can say we tried to solve the problem and accommodate the concerns of the people while balancing the stability of the market and taking the real world cost factor into account.
Add in the ability for insurance companies to provide all sorts of tailored plans and bare bones low-cost plans and the ability to sell any plan, to anyone, any where and you will have gone a long way to solving the root causes of our problems.
But of course none of this will be done because it makes too much sense.

It's the rains the previous winter that set up the burst of undergrowth to dry out in the summer and to burn in the fall. Didn't happen as much during droughts.
And after the fires strip the hillsides in the fall, the winter's rains cause the mudslides. Who says there's no seasons in CA!

I agree, I'm not suggesting Republicans lose to Democrats in order to be "right". That's sort of the TruCon playbook.
The whole prexisting conditions sham was like 1% of people. Something can be done with these people that's politically palatable.
But the worse thing you can do is run away from an issue and that's exactly what Republicans did with ObamaCare this cycle and they paid a price.
I do think though most people are "shielded" from health care costs these days and so it doesn't resonate like it should.

Interesting. I saw them but couldn't tell what they were. The zodiac appear in a lot of Medieval art to denote the passage of time or the months themselves. Sometimes they represented science as they were astronomical symbols, one of the seven Liberal Arts. Many Gothic cathedrals, such as Chartres, have them over their portals since some cathedrals were also universities.

More likely your states refusal to address excessive dead undergrowth and the prohibition of landowners to even touch "the fragile ecosystems of woodlands" that are feuling the fires.
So... btw.... how *are* those "fragile ecosystems of the woodlands" faring once they've been incinerated???
Stupid asshole.
Posted by: fixerupper at November 12, 2018 11:13 AM (vIjh1)
In fact, the chaparral of SoCal that burns every year is dominated by the Manzanita, which burns like it's soaked in gasoline. The whole ecosystem is EVOLVED to require periodic wildfires, complete with fire-following plants that only sprout after the undergrowth is burned out.
Clearing out the undergrowth by human action is in fact just replicating much of the effect of natural burns, so it's just stupid to ban it like CA does.
