A friend passed on a link to a Yahoo story featuring Oliver Stone blaming the failure of "Alexander" on Christians. I don't suppose it's failure has anything to do with the virtually universally bad reviews. And contrary to Stone's assertion, none of the reviews I read even made mention of the "gay issue." Instead, they covered the lack of believability from Colin Ferrel, the shody story, Angelina Jolie's horrible job (and accent), etc.
But then, Stone is a legend in his own mind. Therefore, there's no way that he just made a bad movie that no one wanted to see. That's simply not possible. Instead, it's obviously the "fundamentalist mindset" in America right now. Sorry, Oliver. But any country where Michael Moore can throw together garbage like he did in his most recent "documentary" and make millions of dollars off of it is clearly not going through some sort of "fundamentalist mindset." You want to see fundamentalism? Go to Iran and make your movies. See how far you get there before you're beheaded for even daring to make a movie that features a gay character. You live in the most free country in the world. You can do and say virtually anything and the only consequences you have to face are 1) a few verbal insults and 2) no one seeing your movie. So cry me a river, Oliver. No, really. I feel SO sorry for you, with your multi-million dollar home and your comfortable life. You are so oppressed by us religious nuts. I don't know how you survive on a daily basis.
Maybe next time, you should focus on making a good movie and then maybe people will want to come see your work again. Although, I suspect that a fair number of people share my own thoughts, that you're washed up. Your best days are long behind you and maybe it's time to accept the fact that you weren't really that good to begin with. But then you'd have to let your scapegoat go, you wouldn't have Christianity to blame for you failures, would you?
