On June 11, Fox Searchlight releases this
film, which looks very nerdworthy. I think this dude is my future
husband. Jason Calacanis saw the pic at Sundance and
blogged
this review.

I am sure the guy who pickled
Rasputin's manhood would say it was all in the wrist, it's
apparently also a matter
of national pride. Certainly makes you think twice about
wanting to be famous,
eh?

07/23/2004 08:07 PMHere in the capital of a former jewel in the French imperial crown
(Quebec City), I just finished a
rather dry academic biography of Napoleon by Steven Englund.
It is easy for to forget that France was once an important military
power, just like us. Rather than exploiting and/or pillaging,
Napoleon tried to liberate the people in the territories that he
conquered, just like George W. Bush. And just like George W.
Bush, Napoleon suffered his first defeat in a multi-ethnic Middle
Eastern country:
"The Turkish Empire, which nominally ruled [Egypt], was regarded as
an immoral and declining power, so the French saw an opportunity to
revive civilization ...
"The effective goverment of Egypt at this time was in the hands of
the Mamelukes, an equestrian feudal order of slave origin that had
long held power over a disparate population of Moslem Arabs, Coptic
Christians, and Sephardic Jews. ...
"To the [French] expedition's stunned disillusionment, the land of
the pharoahs turned out to be a filthy backwater of flies, mud huts,
disease, howling dogs, and superstition. Alexandria offered
nothing worthy of its grand name. ...
"The most controversial [decision by Bonaparte] in this campaign
was his decision to execute three thousand Turkish prisoners ... [who]
had surrendered on a promise of quarter ...
"[The French] intention to bring 'enlightenment' and 'development'
to blend 'the rights of man' with 'the law of the Koran.' From
Egypt's perspective, the Europeans dropped suddenly onto their scene
as an alien, hostile force majeure. ...
"What eluded Napoleon's anticipation was the degree and persistence
of Moslem mistrust of the French, coupled with their comparative
indifference to Western notions of reform. ... The
preponderance of Egypt's populace sincerely believed that anything
worth knowing was already explicit or clearly implicit in the
Koran. More seriously, many Napoleonic measures outraged
people. ... Decrees on behalf of women, Jews, and Coptic
Christians ... went down almost as badly as the imposition of high
taxes to support the French army. ...
"The French hold on Egypt thus remained what it started out as:
force operating behind a facade of hypocrisy...
"For the mass of the populace, the French could not get out from
under the burden of being seen as 'the Christian enemy,' the crusaders
returned. In that perspective, the Ottomans and even the
Mamelukes were preferable because at least they were not
infidels."
The good news for W. is that Napoleon bounced back from
that 1799 defeat and several others, managing to return to power even
after exile to Elba, for example. So if his obsession with Iraq
results in the loss of the White House he might still manage to come
back in 2008.
[Nouvelle France and Quebec prefigure to some extent
conflicts and controversies today. The French came to live in a
reasonable amount of harmony with the Indians, whom they saw as
valuable economic allies in such endeavors as the fur trade. The
early French immigrants learned Indian languages and many married
Algonquin women. They expected some sort of ethnic and cultural
fusion to be the end result. The English, by contrast, came to
displace the Indians. They also did not shy from the ethnic
cleansing of Nova Scotia, deporting 10,000 French-speaking Acadians
between 1755 and 1762.]

Torn from the vaunted html pages of
The Hollywood Reporter:
Twentieth Century Fox Licensing & Merchandising and McFarlane Toys
announced a new licensing agreement to develop a line of action
figures based on characters from the hit movie "Napoleon Dynamite."
The toy line, which will hit store shelves in the fall, will feature
characters Napoleon, Pedro and Kip. "Napoleon Dynamite and action
figure may seem like an oxymoron, but McFarlane Toys has the
appreciation and understanding of this character and the film to
create some truly fun and highly appealing toys," said Peter Byrne,
executive vp licensing at Fox Licensing & Merchandising.
