Alexander Description: "He was many things to many people – a dashing homosexual king, filled with erotic ambition…a son desperately longing for the hot love of his non-homosexual father... and sexually conflicted by his mother's bestiality with snakes… He was a visionary whose queer eye helped to shape the face of San Francisco as we know it today. He was all that and more. He was Alexander the Queer.
"During one of the lavishly staged battle scenes against the perfumed Persian King Darius, the Macedonians dropped their weapons and burst out in a wonderfully scored Greek rendition of YMCA.
"While in England promoting his gay epic film of Alexander, Oliver Stone blamed Republicans and their "raging fundamentalism in morality" for the film's huge failure in the United States of America. Red-state Americans stayed away from this 3-hour sleeper in droves.
"Sexuality is a large issue in America right now," Oliver Stone complained, "but it isn't so much in other countries." "There's a raging fundamentalism in morality in the United States. From day one audiences didn't show up. They didn't even read the reviews... because the media was using the words: 'Alex is Gay'."
"Oliver Stone whined that Alexander the Homosexual was just way too complex for the stupid Americans' "conventional minds". "The script was just too ambiguous, too questioning about an action-hero who was masculine/feminine." Oliver Stone obviously believes that the Greek-leaning Europeans are more into his pansy-style of homo-erotic film-making.
"In an attempt to recover the huge losses that this boring sex-epic incurred, the DVD for Alexander will not be discounted."
