Ridley Scott's 4-hour Napoleon cut shelved indefinitely

Word has come that Apple has no plans to release Ridley Scott's four-hour cut of Napoleon "any time soon", a monumental loss to fans.

I feel like even mentioning this terrible movie is wasting valuable time.
- I haven't watched it. Was it bad like Kingdom of Heaven where taking time to explain shit might help somewhat, or bad like Zach Snyder where more would just be... more?
  
  He just looks bored and things happen. And then he looks bored again, repeat. I never bought he was Napoleon or what that was supposed to look like. Nothing stood out.
  
  Wait, you mean to tell me you don't like movies that are little more than the visionary behind it all fellating himself for hours? 🤫
They could have cut it into four one-hour chunks and labeled it a mini series. I’m guessing viewership for the existing movie has been low, so it feels like “sunk cost” to put any more effort into it.
- That would imply that there were good places to stop and begin. Like mini arcs within the larger movie. But it didn’t even have one.
I thought it was fine. Not great but not bad either. No need to see a 4 hour cut
