Thinking Out Loud Here….

but is Alexander, the Oliver Stone disaster, one of the most hypotically awful movies ever made? I never saw it in the theatre, and I haven’t really seen it now, but I’ve watched two disconnected segments of roughly 30 minutes each recently, and I have to say I’ve never seen anything quite like it. It has Stone’s usual can’t look away coked, peyoted, God knows what else melofire indulgence mixed with the usual pageantry and terrible expostion that comes with the modern (or past) Roman sandal movie. I haven’t seen it all the way through, so this is not a review, and I admit that I’m writing out of partial ignorance, but something this bad (but bizarrely juicy, sort of entertaining) from a director of some esteem would almost have to be satire. Or maybe Stone’s satire of a satire of a satire.
