People are sick of all the gay worship in the culture. Its gotten out of hand and there's a backlash.

I thought Alexander was behind Haephaestus?

Meanwhile, most of the critics complained that “Alexander” failed because it didn’t do enough with Alexander’s sexuality.

And Leftists wonder why Americans rejected their party at the polls on November 2nd.

Here's a Clue-by-Four for 'em: Alexander the Great did not earn his title by being an indecisive foppish nancy-boy. He earned it by being a brilliant military strategist. Duh?

So will “Brideshead Revisited”(2005) starring Jude Law and Paul Bettany as love interests.

(1) In the book they were not lovers. One of them was a repressed pansy who had a crush on his friend, while the friend was straight and fell in love with the pansy's sister.

(2) Whether or not they respect the book or twist it into some sodomy circus, most Americans are not going to want to see a talk-heavy parlor drama about a decaying British noble family in the 1930s and 40s.

This Homotheism is getting on everyone nerves. Most people would say "whatever you want to do in your bed room is your business" for the most part, but everyone has their limits.
I recall someone on another site saying how he didn't like the homo eroticism in Alexander and then was attacked for being a homophobe (he didn't say he hated homosexualists but that he just didn't want to see it in the film).

I may get this when it comes on DVD because Rosario Dawson is naked in it though. Hopefully those parts will be separately chapter-ed so I wont have to watch the whole film.

Note to Hollywood: welcome to the backlash you inspired. Hope you enjoy it as much as we do!

Heh heh heh. Hooray for Hollyweird.

The mediots also gloss over the fact that there is no evidence of any homosexuality demonstrated by Alexander. in fact, the evidence is to the contrary.

This goes much further that one Oliver Stoned movie. This notion of revisionist history to usurp ancient Greek history is deliberate to normalize perversion as established by present day ivory towers homo-liberalism.

It's really political too. The theater-going Americans may be using more discretion in spending their entertainment dollars. Actors, producers, directors...etc. who have been and continue to be cheerleaders for the 'I hate America' element worldwide may begin to see the long overdue but swift kick they so richly deserve. They are in fact, ACCOUNTABLE to the guy who will lay out the ever increasing price for admission to their films.

I read campaigns of Alexander by Arrian who was a 3rd century Roman general. The book didn't talk at all about Alexander's sexuality. It mostly talked in detail about the nature of his war tactics and fighting and how he was never quite able to overcome the split between Persian (arab) and Helenic (greek) culture. I think that would have made powerful subject matter for the movie if they focused on that. To a Roman general being gay wasn't important. If he were a modern day general he would think about it in the way that we think about someone liking watching old westerns or something like that. It's just not that important, the focus on homosexuality says far more about our time than Alexander's.

Critics love films with homosexuality

One wonders why.

The lead in the movie just does not fit the profile of Alexander. I mean .. just looking at him does not portray the character .. and then when he opened his mouth and started speaking .. it was sort of weak and whimpy.

I'm gaging it against Gibson's portrayal of Wallace in "Braveheart".

I enjoy movies but when I discover that a film has a blatant liberal message, dominated by militant liberal actors, or highly recommended by liberal critics I simply don't spend any money to see it. Maybe these people will get the message when their garbage flops at the box office.

The minute I saw the first publicity stills of Colin (Gag Me) Ferrell with that blonde Kentucky Waterfall wig, I laughed my girdle off. Hilarious! Hollywood is so clueless.

Now, if they had cast David Wenham from LOTR (Faramir) and left out the gay stuff, I would be first in line...

Well, you could get more explicit I suppose, but at some point the movie only shows in those seedy adult bookstores a quarter at a time. Tough to make a profit that way.

Or so I've heard...

“Brokeback Mountain”(2005), starring Jake Gyllenhaal and Heath Ledger as gay cowboys

Undoubtedly, they will be eating pudding.
