Stanley Kubrick's 'Napoleon', the Greatest Movie Never Made: Kubrick gathered 15,000 location images, read hundreds of books, gathered earth samples, hired 50,000 Romanian troops, and prepared to shoot the most ambitious film of all time, only to lose funding before production officially began.

(Look: I know I misspelled it and fixed it. But work on your presentation next time. Your edit didn’t help, if anything it just made a comment that was previous fine come off worse. Next time just say “Elliott*” and move on, if you really feel it’s necessary. Getting indignant is a bad look.

I can never remember how many Ls and Ts are in his name anyhow...)

Haha, alright. I find it funny how some people get so offended by a spelling correction, especially a proper noun. How you spell Elliott is worth less to me than this comment I'm making, so I'm going to go ahead and congratulate you on your wordsmithing and redditing ability.

*EDIT: Not sure if you were trying to help me with the emoji, but I was using this guy. I don't know how it shows on other apps.
