I hear this movie is going to suck...

[0sm0se]

Colin Farrell sucks a fat one as an actor, as Alexander, and as a person. He's going to fail miserably at this role, except for the arrogance of Alexander because he won't really be acting.

0sm0se seems to have a personal grudge against colin farrell. Won't you ever get over that time he stole your democratic national convention tickets?

Near to the east
In a part of ancient greece
In an ancient land called macedonia
Was born a son
To philip of macedon
The legend his name was alexander

At the age of nineteen
He became the macedon king
And he swore to free all of asia minor
By the aegian sea
In 334 b.c.
He utterly beat the armies of persia

Alexander the great
His name struck fear into hearts of men
Alexander the great
Became a legend ’mongst mortal men

King darius the third
Defeated fled persia
The scythians fell by the river of jaxartes
Then egypt fell to the macedon king as well
And he founded the city called alexandria

By the tigris river
He met king darius again
And crushed him again at the battle of arbela
Entering babylon
And susa treasures he found
Took persepolis the capital of persia

Alexander the great
His name struck fear into hearts of men
Alexander the great
Became a God ’mongst mortal men

A phrygian king had bound a chariot yoke
And alexander cut the ’gordian knot’
And the legend said that who untied the knot
He would become the master of asia

Helonism he spread far and wide
The macedonian learned mind
Their culture was a western way of life
He paved the way for christianity

Marching on marching on

The battle weary marching side by side
Alexander’s army line by line
They wouldn’t follow him to india
Tired of the combat, pain and the glory

Alexander the great
His name struck fear into hearts of men
Alexander the great
He died of fever in babylon

No, no, and no again. Nils does not have an unusual grudge against Colin Farrell. He is merely pointing out the rather obvious fact that the man sucks a gigantic nutsack(no intended pun on the Alexander role). He's never been good in anything with which he has participated and more often than not his acting makes me want to beat myself in the head with a heavy, blunt object. I don't know a whole lot about Stone as a filmmaker but a huge mistake was made in casting that hack in a major epic, a genre requiring GOOD ACTING to effectively pull off, i.e. Braveheart/Gladiator versus Troy(Eric Bana an exception here). As you can see I have not particularly strong feelings about this.

 

[lizard]

well lets be honest, once Ben Affleck started landing the plum roles, that lowered the bar considerably.

 

[xfer]

hey, ben affleck has been in a LOT of great films.

 

[avi]

being in great films does not make one a great actor

 

[xfer]

so true.

 

[0sm0se]

Gigli?

 

[lizard]

movies today are flash over substance. back in the 40s, that's when they made real movies. Has there ever been a more versatile actor than Jimmy Stewart?

 

[avi]

Jimmy Stewart is most def one of the greats, but even he suffers from his own personality sometimes overshadowing his performances

 

[lizard]

yeah, the lesser vehicles. But like the Glenn Miller movie and Harvey, and that western where his indian wife gets waxed and he goes on a murderous rampage, that's some good stuff.

 

[Josh Seipp]

good lord man there was nothing good about nixon and NBK SUCKED...the doors was ok but too long.

 

[xfer]

nixon was the only movie i fell asleep in, ever, when i saw it in high school.

but i watched it about a year or two ago (in two pieces) and it's GOOD.

and you don't like Natural Born Killers?! what's becoming of this world?!

 

[azal]

I like NBK.

But my all time fav movie is Billy Madison, so I don't think my support will be helping your cause.

 

[Destroyer Of Orden]

Should be pretty fucking cool! I'm excited to see the battle scenes

 

[xfer]

my friend Jenna wrote a pretty awesome college thesis about NBK. there's a lot to find in that film.

 

[avi]

NBK is one of the worst movies I've ever tried to watch. I couldn't get past five minutes.

 

[xfer]

i think avi's opinion of "five minutes of natural born killers" is pretty worthless in the larger scheme of things. sayin.

 

[lizard]

that's because he only has peripheral vision
