I hardly even bother with Hollywood Big-Flop crap and the last time I was in a theatre was the last LOTR...but Military History is a big interest for me and
I did catch an hour on Alexander the Great on the Discovery Channel last night. Terrific and extremely well done, a brief history of Alex, his father/mother & Macedonia and a superb discussion of the leadership and battle tactics of his victory over the King of Persiaeven tho he was outnumbered by 5-1 or more by the Persians. The show utilized several US Military & West Point historians and tacticians to talk about how the study of Alexander's tremendous leadership characteristics and abilities continues to permeate our military. Highly recommended.

Yes I watched it myself and thought it was great. You could tell the military people they had for consultants had a very high regard for Alexander. To bad Stone didn't watch that before he decided to make Alexander the Gay. He might have had a hit.

You know, I always assumed that Alexander had sexual relations with men (or more properly, boys) because the belief was so prevalent. Then, this movie came out and I heard the reasons why: He had a lieutenant who had been with him for most of his life.

That's it? That's the reason? It's just pathetic. And more than a little sad.
