The hole in the card

Thank you. If you're ever in Philly shoot me a message and we can get a drink sometime.

I told you I'm interested in history and your response was to assume I've read/watched no other Napoleon content including all-time classic War and Peace? Come on, man. That's condescending to the extreme. Our tastes don't have to be the same for me to not be ignorant of real history and other famous adaptations of Napoleon's story.

I didn't say it's bad because it was made bad on purpose. I said (or at least attempted to convey) that I found it funny and that I appreciated the satire. I think it's a good movie. Well shot, extremely well performed, and relatively pointed satire mocking the rising trend of strongman politicians. Like any good satire it takes comedic shots at current people/events by filtering its criticism through some other setting and characters. I wouldn't describe it as an accurate docu-drama even remotely, but I'd say mocking would-be dictators by making such people look ridiculous is worthwhile for its own sake.

It's a bad history lesson, but not every work set in a historical setting needs to be accurate. Shakespeare's historical plays hardly were. He had a clock bell tolling in Julius Caesar, for Pete's sake. Cartoonish ahistorical satire is a valid genre.

It seems to me what you're bitter about is that you had your hopes up for a documentary or extremely accurate and respectful drama. Sorry this wasn't that, but IMO the last thing we need right now is a movie glorifying any emperors here in the States.

You can also tell by zooming in and looking at the focus/detail/resolution difference between the card's art and the wood of the table along the edge of the cut-away hole. That slightly jarring difference of resolution is a dead giveaway for a photoshop.

I have an interest in history and I liked it a lot. If you go into it knowing it's making fun of the Great Man narrative, it's quite funny.

I liked the first cut, but it did feel incomplete to me. Guess this new version is for people like me.

10K at the low end.

If it makes you feel any better, the wood grain in the hole doesn't line up with the wood grain of the rest of the table. It's a slightly sloppy photoshop.

Yes, it did need the /s.

Good on you for reflecting on your ineffective communication and correcting course.

I guess don't know how to break it to you that saying "f you" is not creative without being on a high horse then.

I give you a decent counterargument with some bonus alliteration and all you can muster is a strawman?

Also, speaking of cope. To say that a person using curse words instead of a witty remark is somehow smart cause smart people use curse words doesn't sound right but I don't how else to interpret the ETA you made.

You've reversed cause and effect here. I didn't say that all people who curse are smart. I said smart people curse.

You've argued from a cliché and from a strawman misrepresentation of my original point. I hope someday you look back and cringe at your small-minded pretentiousness in this thread.

Scientific studies have shown that curse words relieve physical pain better than any alternatives.

So there are some situations where anything else is an objectively worse option.

ETA: I'm willing to bet the reason this is being downvoted is due to the holier-than-thou attitude you're copping, OP. It's also something of a classist-coded cliché to claim that people who curse lack vocabulary, intelligence, education, or creativity. This is, of course counter to the fact that studies have shown that people with higher intelligence are more likely to use salty language.
