Alexander

Started by Candy12 pages

Colin Farell is a great actor but i'm not really sure whether he is THE gux fpor alexander...well anyway more imagineable than leonardo diecaprio (whose idea was THAT!!!!)
Well i heard the other alexander movie wont be contiuned but maybe it's gonna come out in 2006...(well the wanted to release it 2005)
well stones laxander might be good, but maybe it's just like troy... good popcorn cinema but nothing more... 😉

When he trained for the film they only had one meal a day like the did back when alexander was invading the world and from the scope of it and the size I want to go see this movie because I saw gladiator in theater and it was great so this one should be to.

White Teeth

I just saw Alexander today...

Does anyone else notice that sometimes (not always) when movies are made and set waaaay back ( like B.C. possibly) that the people have pearly white teeth

Collin Farrell had some pretty white teeth in Alexander... so did Jared Leto...and Angelina Jolie.. so on

even in The passion - Jesus and most of the apostles has nice sparkly white teeth

hmmmm...

in the movie the Messenger - at least the majority of those people had yellowy gross teeth - the way it should have been back then

😄

a few things

heres why oliver stone picked farell:
Oliver Stone: He was the man. He's destined to play Alexander. It just felt right. He was Irish, beautiful, poetic, determined, a scrapper, a winner and frankly, very, very handsome, physically attractive, sexual. He's got a charge.

Baz Lurman is the guy doing the other Alexander project which is in production right now but is still untitled with leo dicarpio as alexander and nichole kidman as olympias

Stone's Alexander is nothing like Troy.. the battles are far more brutal, the story is more in depth, its more historical accurate

and i actually remember thinking during the movie that someones teeth looked pretty disgusting.. phillip i think off hand but i cant remember too great

thought this was interesting too from Jared Letto:
What were the battle sequences like?
Jared Leto: Insane. Very insane and I can tell you something, I'm surprised that nobody died on the movie. I really am. I really am honestly; I thought in Thailand that somebody-a good potential for someone to be killed. Not because of anyone being unsafe. Completely uncontrollable circumstances and it wasn't just the elephants, it was the horses and the elephants. Every single take we would go, I haven't seen the movie yet, but I'm sure it's still in, they would have us riding in a line through the forest, through the trees. When horses come up on trees, they get confused. They don't know which way to go. So one simple thing they'll do is switch gaits and it throws you off cause you're bareback remember with a skirt on, sandals or whatever. So they switch gaits, but not only that, we have these horses in Morocco which were the best horses in the world. They were these Spanish horses, Andalusia's, beautiful horses. Colin's was a three-generation horse or something. But, then we went to Thailand and we used the Thai Army horses or something and they were very young and skittish, and some of them were running right into trees at full speed. You wouldn't think a horse would do that but run right into a tree. They would be maybe injured for a little bit. But people would, every single take, every take, someone would come off a horse. So we'd do a take; we're galloping through, you have to gallop full speed, and it was so precarious and you wouldn't know what your horse is going to do, and you're holding on for dear life. And you're going through the trees and not only are the elephants up there and they are scaring the horses and the elephants are scared of the horses, but people were falling off, breaking legs, arms, shattering ribcages and everybody went down. It would be after every take on loudspeaker, "OK, everybody." And you'd see a horse, running off without its rider.

i heard it was soooooo bad, it should have never been made! but then again, that is other people's opinions, so

im gonna watch it anyways, heard angelina was the best part of the movie, and i love her! mr and mrs smith will be a fantastic movie coming out next summer! brad and angelina, cant go wrong there! 😉

I'm going to wait till dvd for this..I'm excited about the Baz Luhrmann version slated for 2006. but this one just looks really bad and I've read that it's as bad as it seems

dear sweet jesus almighty

It was a day unlike any other. I woke up, went to work and thought to myself,"hey dude, it'd be hella sweet to go see alexander and see a bunch of killing and stuf." So I called up one of my buddies and he's not really into the same kind of movies as me and he's like,"this shit better not be gay dude." And after constent reassurance he finally agreed to go see the greatest movie of all time........... or was it???? The beginning was greeted happily with boys wrestling each other, beginning their training but I couldn't help wondering,"hmmm, if they weren't little kids I'd say alexander has the hots for that dude." Thinking nothing of it my interest in the movie did not fade. Moments later........... *sigh* I witnessed Alexander proclaim his love for his best friend. Maybe I'm a homophobe, or maybe I was just afraid I'd like it..... but man they definitely brought the needle to max on the gay meter. The movie progressed and I was getting back into it after the huge battle they had my testosterone was back up and I was proud to be a man again. Sadly the producers thought it was time to bring that to a screeching halt. He went into babylon and then there was this long haired chick, she looked a little butchy but hey, he's alexander, he can nail whoever the hell he wants. After a little bit of staring I realized my greatest fear.... Alexander was a pillow biting penis hound. Then the movie started going downhill. Every time I would start to forget about Alexanders gay antics, they threw another gay love scene in there just to remind me that alexander's wang was hugified not by a woman, but by a man. With so little killing and so much male lovin I was left dumbfounded. Nothing made sense anymore. Like, yea sure, so alexander played a little back door shananigans, this is back in the day, it's normal. But dear jesus upliftin friggin hell, did they have to keep reminding us that he loved the cock? All I can say is... I wish I had 10 arms, so I could give this movie 10 thumbs down.

Alexander was horrible! - the more I think about it - when i saw it - it was just bad

the only cool moments were Val Kilmer- he was the most interesting part of the whole movie

I loved it 👆

Also I heard and read that the 2006 Alexander has been scrapped and won't be coming out.

i was excited to see this movie, but after reading your reviews... i'm not so sure anymore

i heard it was terrible by way to many pople but im gonna se it neways......when it comes out on rent, cuz of angelina jolie, and only cuz of her. shes so awesome, even though they said that her accent was transylvanian or some sh** like that lol

well, i think Alexander is okay.. i just saw it.. it's not so bad but not too 'great' also, if you want to watch it, i think you should .. but dont expect too much tho.. 😉

the only thing that was great about this movie was angelina jolie's lips...I spent half of the time yawning, and the other half laughing at the way colin ferrel looked as alexander (his hair)

Val Kilmer was the only cool one in that movie -

him and his one eye!

the rest of it all sucked!

did anyone see him on Conan OBrien the other night!

HAVEN'T SEEN IT YET, BEING A BRITISH PERSON WHO GETS FILMS ABOUT FIVE YEARS AFTER THE REST OF THE WORLD, BUT CAN'T WAIT. BIG OLIVER STONE FAN!

and this one looks like they are exagerating a good bit.. troy seems more historicaly accurate.. but should be cool still.. oh the other alexander project with leo decaprio seems like it has the more true story line
TROY is not historicaly accurate LOL!!! not at all
!!!! examples.., paris is supposed to die in the end .. he doesnt!! .. Achilles dies way before entering troy.. he never entered the trojan horse.. Menelaus and Agamemnon do NOT die!! And much much more!! Im sick and tired of Americans or anyone else taking greek history and completely f*****g it up!!! And Alexander will prolly be the same!! Just like Troy.. Didnt arrive in Cyprus yet so havent seen it but i know it will be the same.. from the things i heard from my cousin .. half of it will be different than the real thing.. and btw whoever said that Philip had many sons .. thats a lie! 😛
