"just call me Loretta"

Colin Farrell and director Oliver Stone have spoken out to defend new movie Alexander, which has been given a thorough kicking in the US.
The £80m movie, which shocked America by portraying the Macedonian warrior king as 'Alex the gay', has only taken £18m across the pond.
Stone, director of Platoon and Born On The Fourth Of July, said: "There's a raging fundamentalism in morality in the US.
"From day one, audiences didn't show up. They didn't even read the reviews in the South because the media was using the words 'Alex the gay'.
"I was quite taken aback by the controversy and fierceness of the reviews about a character we don't really know too much about."
Colin Farrell has been called "hopelessly out of his depth" in the title role but Stone said the Irishman would "ride it out".
Colin admitted friends thought the film was "not exactly Gladiator".
But he said: "If Oliver ever wanted to work with me again, I would do it in a heartbeat."
Stone hinted he'd make changes to the DVD of the movie.
He said the "bond" in the homosexual scene could be "suggested in different ways".
"just call me Loretta"
Says Colin: "If Oliver ever wanted to work with me again, I would do it in a heartbeat."
Now, one wonder just what THAT means .....
"I was quite taken aback by the controversy and fierceness of the reviews about a character we don't really know too much about."
And yet you thought you knew enough to proclaim him as being queer.
Telling.
Sometimes a bad movie is just a bad movie ...
(Not that there's anything wrong with that...)
Give a whole new meaning to "I'm behind you all the way".
Give a whole new meaning to "I'm behind you all the way".
try again...
My very thought.
Evidently the man's motto is, "Your ignorance is my license!"

notice how they don't mention how much this homosexual movie did or did not take in at the EU market.
Has anyone asked colin if he supports this "Alexander the 'gay' " be he himself is a homosexual?
Will this movie carry an "H" warrning to advise mothers and fathers when DVD sales happen?
on another thread someone is saying that the car fish emblem for gayness really stands for anti-evolutionists!

are you implying that the fox news reader dude is light in the loafers? I think being around Laurie Dhue would cure even the staunchest poofer.
Mountaineer, poster at FR, said, "There's a raging obliviousness on the part of Olive Stone and most of Hollywood to the sensibilities of Americans."
Putting lipstick on a pig still results in a pig.
LMAO!! I always wondered about that guy.
