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.

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."

look for anything more than what can be found in the first two cuts, because
nothing else was filmed for the most part. 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.

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.

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 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.

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.)
