I have returned for a day.


i swa a preview sreening of alexander yesterday as well. it was free i should add too, which was good cus i wouldn't spend $10 on this movie. overall it was a bad movie. th fact is that as nile was saying this movie had a good solid movie within it. Oliver stone did a good job on the first 90s. however he butcher the second half. as nile was he overplayed his bi hand. yes the truth is that there was alot of bisexuality in those times it is quite will known, the romans were the same way. in this movie Stone really tried to punch that in, and he achieved this but at the cost of distroying his movie. What he did in the second half was reiterate the idea that alexander was bi by showing lots of bi seens. these scenes in many ways reminded me if the love story in AOTCs they were poorly acted and poorly played. it was these to attributes that distroyed the flow of the second half of the movie. these scenes also deglorified alexander in the eyes of audience and made the movie drang. no i am not suggesting that stone remove all of them, because that would one wreak the movie more and 2 just be historically inaccurate. what he should do it look at the movie again and find ther scenes that wreaked the flow. FOR EXAMPLE Stone seems to love this weird skiny shemale guy, and all throughout the movie he would extend shots at there end to zoom in on this guy or in some way make it appearent that this guy was there. it was extensions like these that Stone should have look at removing.

there i have said my peace fairwell all.
