Alexander

[Ravi]

Didn't know they had collagen injections and breast implants back then.

[matt35mm]

No, Alexander's breasts were natural.

[A Matter Of Chance]

Man , I hope this movie doesn't contains the following scenes, in the order in which i'm writing them:

* a prologue written (in cepia and , judging by the poster, a yellow font) explaining the synopsis Mac posted up there, or how the campaings of Alexander have been succesful 'till this day while a score with a female singer howling plays.

*a rough 20 minute battle scene which shows us how powerful our main character is.

*a brief celebration of said battle, where the moral disturbances of our hero are raised.

* the comeback of our hero to his homeland where he is greeted by the people and his family.

* an encounter with an old lover.

* you get the idea.

that sounds exactly how I think this movie will be...

[Pwaybloe]

Nah, but I wouldn't expect it to be your typical Oliver Stone movie.

But, y'know, what do I know.  All I've seen is a consumer-friendly trailer.

Does anyone think this will turn out to be Stone's "Gangs of New York?"

[RegularKarate]

well, unsurprisingly, this looks boring.

I figured this movie would suck... hard to tell from a trailer, I know, but based on the fact that Stone is washed up and that most people in this movie can hardly act...

the only thing that kept me awake was the promise of an elephant vs. horse battle.

with a map of what is now europe in the background no less.


yeah....this could be either really bad or really good.....leaning towards really bad, even though i love Oliver Stone and Colin Farrel....it just seems boring, judging by the teaser.

[Ghostboy]

judging by the teaser.

We're all guilty of that way too frequently.

[Pubrick]

don't say We, or All.

[Ghostboy]

True, true -- but you're guilty of judging films in advance without having seen the teaser.

[Pubrick]

haha well played. the thing is i don't let my pre-judgments get in the way of my viewing experience. the way that ppl expect a certain movie from the trailers and then are disappointed (and surprised like dumbasses) that the film (eg. Garden State aka Symmetry 101) is lamer than the trailer.

all my presumptions are based on the talent involved, their recent history, the material (premise only).. not how sum marketing jerk thought of selling the product.

[meatball]

So angry.

[Pubrick]

so wrong.

[The Perineum Falcon]

the only thing that kept me awake was the promise of an elephant vs. horse battle.

But didn't we see this already in RotK?

But I somehow think the elephant wins, hands down (so to speak).

just my opinion.
