Three things that bother me here:

1) Colin Farrell is a terrible actor but has been getting parts anyways

2) That Alexander is portrayed as being gay - another attempt of the left to revisit all our heroes and make them gay.

3) That this bothers the Greeks - OK, that was shameful of me ...

Yes, those are a couple of troublesome things that you mention, however, the unintended consequence of Hollywood using Alexander to push the gay agenda is that we've now got a big budget movie coming out with an English-speaking actor invading and conquering Iran!

Um, dude. I think he was gay...

But this line IS PRICELESS:

This is not the first time Greeks have been angered by suggestions Alexander was homosexual and had affairs with young men.

Plus, they're trying to sell this movie by making it look sexy and romantic. How about truth in advertising? Angelina Jolie plays his mom, not his love interest. How many guys will go to the moving knowing that? Not to mention all the gay scenes.

"Alexander was not bisexual"

He didn't like women at all?
