Update: Oliver Stone's Movie Still SucksNot even the New York Times will come to his aid: ... The reviewer whines a bit that Stone doesn't castigate Alexander enough for being a conquistador, so, you know, he's a bit of a horse's ass. But still. Rotten Tomatoes Update: Only 14% fresh. Sounds like a perfectly vile film. posted by Ace at 01:13 PM
CommentsDecent battle scenes, if not to the Braveheart standard, and even Kate was drooling over Angelina..... Posted by: SGT Dan on November 27, 2004 02:51 PM
I read in the paper today that the movie is opening up in Europe ... and Stone is hoping/anticipating better reviews over there. I searched, but I'm kinda anal, and I already threw the paper away (it might have been yesterday's.) Anyway, he says some tripe regarding how he makes "difficult" movies .. obviously they are just over our heads or something. Posted by: Carin on November 27, 2004 03:24 PM
Oh, I found it online (it's an AP story- this is most of it) : Alexander" got a lukewarm reception from critics in America, said Thursday he thought the three-hour epic would get a better welcome in Europe. Stone visited the Stockholm International Film Festival to pick up a lifetime achievement award and promote "Alexander," which was having its European premiere in Stockholm. "I think one of the reasons I am being honored here in Sweden is that (Europeans) tend to see me a little differently than they do in the U.S.," Stone told reporters.

"I think one of the reasons I am being honored here in Sweden is that (Europeans) tend to see me a little differently than they do in the U.S.," Stone told reporters. The Euro perspective resulting from cranial/rectal insertion no doubt Posted by: BrewFan on November 27, 2004 06:23 PM
Did u catch this choice Stone quote: "Alexander would have gone after Osama bin Laden. I'm sorry, but Kerry was right." Posted by: jeff on November 27, 2004 06:29 PM
There's a classic erudite smackdown of Alexander by Victor Davis Hanson over at his blog: http://www.victorhanson.com/articles/hanson112704.html Tag line: "Alexander the Great is third-rate Cecil B. Demille in drag." Nice. Posted by: See-Dubya on November 28, 2004 12:38 AM

ANOTHER LEFT WING ASSASSIN ATTEMPTS TO KILL TRUMP
If I understand this, the left-wing Democrat assassin attempted to get into the White House Correspondents Association dinner, and was stopped at the magnetometers, which detected his gun. I guess he pulled out the gun and was shot by Secret Service agents. Erika Kirk was present.

NYT Melts Down Over Texas Rangers Statue Outside... Texas Rangers' Stadium

Important Message from Recent Convert to Christianity and Yet Super-Serious Christian Tuq'r Qarlson: Actually Muslims love Jesus, it's Trump and his neocons who hate him
Tucker Carlson Network Trump's trolling tweet was ill-advised, but Tucker is just lying when he claims the Christianity-hating President of Iran was "offended" by this. He's one step away from announcing his official conversion to Islam. He literally never stops praising Islam. Well, he suddenly became Christian two years ago, there's not much stopping him from converting again. You can track Tuq'r's official conversion to Islam with this Bingo card.
People say that the bearded man in the video of Fartwell molesting a hooker looks like Democrat Arizona Senator Rueben Gallego, said to be Swalwell's "best friend" and known to take vacations with him.
@KFILE 21m So the campaign is collapsing due to the truth of the sexual harassment allegations. That hissing sound you hear is the air going out of the Swalwell campaign. UPDATE: No it wasn't, it was just Swalwell one-cheek-sneaking out a fart on camera Eric Swalwell more like Eric Farewell amirite thanks to weft-cut loop.
This is the dumbest AI bullslop I've seen in a while: the CIA can use "quantum magnetometry" to track an individual man's heartbeat from twelve miles away
I wouldn't click on it, it's not interesting, it's just stupid clickslop. I just want to share my annoyance with you.
Oil prices plunge on bizarre realization that Eric Swalwell may actually be straight. A rapey molester, allegedly, but a straight one.
Classic Rock Mystery Click
This is super-obscure and I only barely remember it. Given that, I'll give you the hint that it's by the Red Rocker. And I guess you think you've got it made Oh, but then, you never were afraid Of anything that you've left behind Oh, but it's alright with me now 'Cause I'll get back up somehow And with a little luck, yes, I'm bound to win Now twenty people will tell me it's not obscure, it was huge in their hometown and played at their prom. That's how it usually goes. When I linked Donnie Iris's "Love is Like a Rock," everyone said they knew that one and that his other song (which I didn't know at all) Ah Leah! was huge in their area.
