I want to see it, I'd also like to see the Untitled Baz Luhrmann Alexander The Great movie with Leonardo Dicaprio and Nicole Kidman... Unfortunately it's been pushed back by over a year and won't be out until 2006, because Hollywood didn't want two Alexander films to come out too close together. I'm not big fan of Luhrmann's previous films, but David Hare is an excellent writer, so it will be interesting to compare it with Oliver Stone's film that comes out on wednesday...

Meh. It looks just like every other historic/drama/action movie.

Goodbye you liar,
Well you sipped from the cup but you don't own up to anything
Then you think you will inspire
Take apart your head
(and I wish I could inspire)
Take apart your demons, then you add it to the list.

I've never heard of the one with Leonardo Dicaprio, but it probably would be good. As much slack as he gets i think he's actually a pretty good actor, he kinda has a bit of Johny Depp about him, and he ussually only does interesting movies.

nobody see this movie. It was horrible. The dialouge was bad, there were only one or two battle scenes, and it difficult to follow the plot because it was so boring.

^^ so i've heard from another friend. :uhh:
"if the nuremberg trials were applied to us foreign policy, every us president since 1945 would have been hanged." noam chomsky.

...and this is me hanging on / i'd burn our initials in the sun if it would shine / anxiety chokes me like razor wire / if hate's in your heart man, you'll take what you're given / wake up / i'm not the only one / it's never goodbye / go ahead and play dead / if everyone's a casualty, then take your time, there ain't no trouble / these wounds they will not heal / ambition can be a tricky thing / what the hell do i know about rape anyway? / this is not what i hoped for / ain't it so weird how it makes you a weapon / who will be there to tell me how stupid i am? / those living for death will die by their own hand / and it's me that I am spying on / pick up the pieces and live with the stars / hurry up and wait / things have never been so swell / they're always the ones who slowly drift / be great / ...and this is my world.

So I went to see Alexander tonight. It was actually pretty good. It's dialogue heavy and long. It's not a great movie, but it doesn't suck, like a lot of people have said.

The best thing was the free posters they were giving out. Check it out.
