Still haven't seen it.
|
No thanks. I saw it once. Once was definitely enough.
|
I haven't seen it, and that was enough for me too. :)
|
Now that we've gotten all of the "This movie sux dood!!!!!" threadcrapping out of the way, can we try to focus on the details of the DVD itself? That would be nice.
|
Well, I've seen it fifteen times and certain scenes up to thirty times! It looks
like this forum is full of less than steller film fans. Oh, well! I greatly enjoyed the 'gay' remark above. That was sure intelligent. I can't imagine what sort of films you guys like. Although, I'd bet the horrid 'Million $ Baby' and the awful 'Mystic River' would be up there. How typical! Stone has been quoted as saying they'll be an intermission apart of the new cut, and it'll be 3 hrs. and 40-45 mins. Other than that, nothing much else has been said thus far. Stone won't finish the new cut for another two months. So, I doubt we'll hear anything until that has been completed. |
I hope there is a longer scene time where Rosario Dawson took off her clothes

off. |
If Stone does, in fact, re-do Alexander on DVD, one thing: DON'T BE COY AND DICK AROUND ABOUT HIS SEXUALITY.
I have a friend who loves Colin Farrell and wanted to love Alexander, but she walked out of a free screening two hours in because the movie was pissing her off. The first thing she said about it, "If you're going to do a movie about Alexander the Great and cover his bisexuality, don't be coy. Just come out and show it." |

The money people made it very clear what they'd accept and what they wouldn't. Unlike some people around the net, I don't think you need sex scenes to prove a bond between two men. This new cut might have a little more between Alexander and the eunuch, but that's it in terms of sexual content. |

I have yet to see it as well, so will probably hold off until this eventually comes out.

on why you disliked it. I don't agree with some of the reasons people have written this film off, and I won't think much of you if your reasons fall into any of those areas. |

will count the days until I can see this new, longer version. Oliver Stone put the best battle scenes ever filmed into this piece along with the best sets in any film released this decade. All the performances were over-the-top in a good way and captured just how HUGE these character were in history. This new cut will place the film up near the top of all epics made in cinema history. I hope they can get this out sometime in the first quarter of 2007. |
I've always been curious about this flick, but 4 hours is a lot of Alexander.

I enjoyed bits of the movie, but it did drag. By hour 13 I was wishing for an early death. |

I doubt it'll be more 'gay' themed scenes. |

exist then) scenes. All the new material will be stuff cut out of the first four hour version shown to Warner Bros. in August of 2004. |
My question would be how good can this footage be if it's wasn't good enough for both the theatrical and Director's Cut versions? Maybe third time's a charm, but he's passed on using this material twice already now.
(I'm not saying this to rag on Alexander, I think this would apply for most movies.) |
Seems like the only person here who can stand Alexander is GlendaleFalcon. They're making it just for you dude, hope you feel special...
