Alexander - Well, it's apparently a pile of shit.

Forget the Alexander crap for a minute.

Spongebob took a HUGE dive, from 32 million to 8 million.

 

Granted it already made the money back but I have no clue why it fell so hard. The movie is hilarious.

There's a NARRATOR in this film? Fuck.

Isn't DiCaprio making an Alexander flick? I could've sworn I head about that somewhere. He'd make a better bisexual conqueror the Farrell.

 

Oh, and DH- your sig is great.

Yes, which is slated for 2006 release.

 

Baz Luhrmann is directing it, Moulin Rouge and Romeo and Juliet.

 

And Nicole Kidman is Olympias.

 

He has been working on the film ever since Rouge was completed. I remember reading that in EW a while back.

If you have the issue, read EW's article all about Alexander.

 

That movie looked to be never getting made, nor will it ever now that this has happened.

 

But yeah, I had a feeling this would be terrible. It's a shame, because I would have really liked to see America's reaction to a movie with homosexual undertones becoming a huge grosser.

Damn.

 

I'm sure Nickelodeon is more than happy, though. The point of the movie was to not only make money from the theatrical/DVD sales, but also to get more people aware of what Spongebob was, bringing out more and more marketing tie-in opportunities.

My bad Bob, I thought the numbers were the box office totals. I should have known better.

 

NATIONAL TREASURE is cleaning up. How I am not sure.

[bob_barron 0]

Because it plays to everyone.

 

It's an action movie, has an interesting plot, Cage/Bruckheimer connection and it's rated PG so families will see it

I think it's more Bruckheimer than Cage... Cage actively turns people off down my way, as he's done more than his share of shitty parts since Leaving Las Vegas.

I saw Alexander yesterday, and it was not terrible. It was not good by any means, but it wasn't like Ishtar or something. The two fights, (and yes there are only two) are particularly good.

 

that said, I don't suggest you spend the 7 bucks. Or 9, for our urban friends.

[Art Sandusky 0]

How is Angelina Jolie in the film. She was another reason I wanted to see it.

[Guest Cerebus]

I saw Alexander with the family last friday on the insistance of my mother-in-law. It had good battle scenes but very campy dialogue and "serious" scenes. I laughed so hard during a scene where Hephistalon is swooning around in this incredibly stupid outfit that my wife kept punching me in the arm to keep me quiet. Of course, later on she joined me in laughing at Heph's even more unintentionally hilarious deathbed scene. It was no Battlefield Earth but this had to be one of the humerously bad big-budget movies in quite a while.

A treasure map on the Declaration of Independence?!?! Come on! That's like a Cheat Commandos sketch.

National Treasure actually plays off of a lot of currently held beliefs that there's all kinds of stuff hidden in our national documents and seals based on the idea that many of the founding fathers were Masons and members of other secret societies.

She is the best part of the whole movie.

I need to rewatch the club scene in 25th Hour again, cause they looked around the C range in that flick.

When was the last time we had a truly great epic film not counting the LotR trilogy? Was it Gladiator back in 2000?

 

Master & Commander: The Far Side of the World, just last year.

Ah, I always forget about that one. More than likely because I haven't watched it yet.

The hard-and-fast way to recognize one is apparently the participation of Russell Crowe...

From the Alexander IMDB trivia section:

 

In December 2003 a group of homeless people in Stockholm, Sweden, started queuing for tickets to "Alexander", scheduled for premiere in November 2004. They intend to live in tents for a year, outside a movie theatre in the city centre. This silent protest, aimed to put focus on the situation for the homeless in the Swedish capitol, originates in a statement from a local politician, stating that it is both legal and fully acceptable for fans to go camping for weeks in central Stockholm, to get tickets to a movie premiere. The movie at issue then was _Lord of the Rings: The Return of the King (2003)_ .

 

Jesus, those guys waited a year, only to be disappointed.

Ugh, I hated Gladiator. Seeing as how I've not seen M&C, I'd go with Gangs of New York

so wait they managed to get Angelia Jolie and Rosario Dawson in the same movie together, and only got one naked. Fuck you Oliver Stone, some nude lesbian action between those two would have gotten three or four viewings from me

Which one got naked?

[cabbageboy 0]

I believe it was Rosario that got naked. Why wasn't Angelina as well? Not like she won't get naked too.

 

As far as National Treasure goes, I wanted to see it mainly for the kind of cast it had. A Bruckheimer production starring Cage with Jon Voight, Harvey Keitel, Sean Bean as a heel, the retard kid from Gigli, and Helen of Troy....hell I was intrigued just seeing the poster.

 

Odd for Bruckheimer it is a movie that has somewhat of an action edge while also staying in the PG range. That = money.

[Guest Boomer Sprinklespax]

For all the problems that Alexander had, I really think it was actually pretty decent. Overlong, yes, overstated, yes, kinda flat, yes, but bad? No, because it was at least marginally entertaining throughout, IMO of course.

 

And Colin Farrell, whether anyone wants to admit it or not, was fucking awesome, especially in the climactic scene with the elephants. As a matter of fact, that entire scene was fucking awesome, as was Val Kilmer, as was Angelina the Great.

 

I don't understand why everyone is shitting on this flick. Much worse movies came out this year...like Ray, for example, or Collateral. I'm serious about that, by the way.

I didn't see either of those flicks, but I only heard good things about them.

 

Your the first person to actually not like them, from what I've read.

[Guest Smell the ratings!!!]

Jolie was Alexander's mother, so it would technically be bad taste for her to get naked with his wife. It would rule, obviously.
