Next on my ‘to watch’ list, and probably the reason I’ll next go to the cinema, is to watch Napoleon. I could have gone today, but to be honest I’m eager to go with John: cinema is always better with mates. Ridley Scott is one of the great contemporary directors. I really enjoy his work, and want to see what he has to say about such a great historic figure. I hear the film has displeased a lot of french people – they don’t seem to like ‘outsiders’ telling what they consider ‘their’ history. I want to see how Scott handles the Napoleonic era: going by what he did with Gladiator, it’s bound to be very interesting. Mind you, as far as I’m concerned, any film about the Napoleonic wars needs to have Sean Bean as Sharpe in it.
