What kinda crap is this?

Oliver Stone & Michael Moore need to start a club, (or perhaps a 12 step program for film directors who are way too absorbed in their own personal legend). Mr Stone blames American critics and the movie going public for the lackluster success of his epic, "Alexander". That is difficult to reject on one level, the critics
panned the movie and the public did not spend a lot of time or money on the film.

So what? Can you say "Ishtar"?.

I haven't seen the movie, and do not consider myself to be one of the movie-going public, (I just kind of drifted away from the mainstream fare that is offered these days----just a matter of personal taste), so I don't know how valid my opinion will be here, but hey, this is the internet and validity doesn't seem to stop anybody else. The movie was a bomb for lots of reasons. By some accounts, it was too long, by others it was overreaching, too much epic scale and not enough substance of the characters. Mr. Stone has offered the proposition that the film was not well
received because of its allusions to Alexander's sexuality, and the fact that it reminds people of the war in Iraq.

Come on now.

Maybe if he had not worked so hard to insert the main characters sexuality into the film, it might not have been as overreaching as some say it is, and the epic qualities might have come through a bit better, (or not--maybe the movie just stunk).

But to compare Alexander to GW Bush? Really, is that a bit juvenile or is it just me? Alexander was a man who was able to see a grander scheme than most men, and able to seize on those circumstances that allowed him to exploit that scheme for his own vision. And comparing him to a clown like Bush? That is a reach.

I compare Oliver Stone to George W Bush.

waaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaahhhhhhhhhhhhhhhh.
