| Alexander: Farrell, Stone have more stupid things to say | |
| 2005-01-06 | |
| [Edited for maxiumum laughter] Irishman Colin Farrell, in the title role, has defended as historically accurate his portrayal of Alexander Buahahahah! who carved out an empire stretching from the Mediterranean to Afghanistan in the 4th Century B.C. He said the reaction to the film in America as "shocking", but he expected the response in Europe and Asia to be better. Don't get your hopes up Colin baby. Oh, you look mighty cute in them jeans boy! Stone, a three-time Oscar winner and director of acclaimed films including "Platoon" and "Born on the Fourth of July", said his latest venture had fallen victim to events in Iraq. Or fallen victim to being a boring, chattering class piece of tripe. "Because Alexander at times sounds like George (W.) Bush, (people) get the two confused," he said. Oliver, do you actually believe the things you say? Colin, I think it would be best if you stopped hanging out with Oliver. "I think it makes people feel queasy about empire and the concepts that Alexander espoused, but Alexander was not attacking the east in order to drain it of its resources. He stayed in the east." These last two sentences are comedy gold. Cogradulations Oliver: your ethics are now so completely twisted around that you have actually become French.

| #6 Article: response in Europe and Asia to be better. In Europe, maybe. In Asia, homosexuality remains a criminal offense in many countries. In China, it has always been frowned upon and until recently, gays were in fact executed. |

| #4 As I recall, dear Alex was in the habit of sending loot trains back home after particularly advantageous battles. But I could be misremembering, I suppose. And of course, Colin's Alexander has an Irish accent, whereas GWB sounds Texan. Even the tone deaf can hear that particular difference. But Colin can take comfort in looking terribly good in a leather apron... |

| #1 Hey, all we need now is Oliver Stone doing a movie about Michael Moore (or vice-versa). |
