delet... Posted April 3, 2011 Share Posted April 3, 2011 And you don't do it very well. Less than an 100 year hegemony. I spose you could blame the acceleration of development. But i prefer to think that the british empire was superior. -awaits knighthood- Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest Babar Posted April 3, 2011 Share Posted April 3, 2011 question : as (descendants of) British persons, would you place Napoleon next to Hitler or Mussolini ? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest Sprigg Posted April 3, 2011 Share Posted April 3, 2011 question : as (descendants of) British persons, would you place Napoleon next to Hitler or Mussolini ? I've never thought of him (Napoleon) as anything more than a military genius. Why would anyone place him next to Hitler or Mussolini? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I've never thought of him (Napoleon) as anything more than a military genius. Why would I place him next to Hitler or Mussolini? Gadhafi recently put Napoleon, Hitler and Mussolini on the same level. I heard the same thing a couple times in Bristish cultural productions. Edit; in France he's a hero, along with De Gaulle, and Louis XIV. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Most people here probably don't even know who Napoleon was. But personally I've always liked Napoleon, for no reason I can pinpoint specifically.

delet... Posted April 3, 2011 Share Posted April 3, 2011 + De Gaulle = overrated, just a tool for the allies. Could have been anyone in those radio messages. He wasn't actually in the fight, a tactician, a leader. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Guest Calx Sherbet Posted April 3, 2011 Share Posted April 3, 2011 i don't understand the point of american remakes. of anything. do we need to make them american so we can relate to it better? do people just hate reading subtitles? fuck us really, how hard is it to enjoy the original/foreign version of something?

Guest underscore Posted April 3, 2011 Share Posted April 3, 2011 $$$. you guys are crazy if you really think that most americans will consistently tune into a show with subtitles as much as they would one without. making a stupid american version of any random good show would definitely be a more profitable route Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

SR4 Posted April 3, 2011 Share Posted April 3, 2011 i dunno. we have trouble understanding certain accents? shit, i want subtitles for american tv whenever some cajun or deep southern accented guy comes on....id imagine its just as difficult for a welshman to understand a scotsman and so on.

BobDobalina Posted April 6, 2011 Share Posted April 6, 2011 It's payback for you forcing this twat upon us (you have to agree some form of retribution is warranted here). On a less-shitty note I'm glad to see they're making an in-betweeners movie, I quite liked show whilst Mrs. Dob and I were living in Ireland...

murve33 Posted April 6, 2011 Share Posted April 6, 2011 Don't bitch like it's some one-way street. I have seen adverts and UK programming and it's a fucking carbon copy of the shit we have. You import our shit as much as you export. The only thing more tiring than a loudmouth American is some European cunt who thinks their shit doesn't stink. This. Well put, xxx.

Guest Gary C Posted April 6, 2011 Share Posted April 6, 2011 Yeah, fair point to xxx, The Inbetweeners is a British version of American Pie. But in Britain it's much more profitable to produce a TV series, rather than a film. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
