What is wrong about interviewing Fidel?
There are probably hunreds and hundreds of film directors in the USA who will never make the movie of Platoon calibre. I am not happy that they are staying here. :(


Dear GeriatricZaur

I like they way you assume so much from so little.  I could care less if OS made ATG into either a bi-sexual, transgender, child molester, mommy lover, puppy killer or a seal basher.  As a Director he can do anything he wants.  So he interviewed Fidel?  Didn't bother me.  I am merely, and ONLY, pointing out that OS is a big cry baby because some people (i.e. not only American's panned his movie) bashed his movie and now he wants to throw a tantrum and say, "Whaaaa!  They didn't like my movie!  I'm moving!" which, as any Director knows, you don't let critics get to you.  I just think it's pathetic that he feels the need to do something so drastic only because of other people's criticisms.  As for OS moving, fine by me.  He can take some more with him if he wants to.  We could use some more Tarantino's and Soderbergh's.

can't say I will miss stones attitude.   He is a fundamentaly dishonest man who, like moore uses entertainment to push his whacked out views and is now sulking because we don''t all become kerrie voters ove a movie or two... He makes a few stinkers and feels that we owe him to praise the crap just cause his heart is "in the right place"   He figures in france any anti American stuff no matter how fake will be greeted with accolades so that is why he is going.

"Oh......, and yes Lee Harvey Oswald did shoot JFK. Then he left the Texas School book depository and later killed Officer Tibits (may he RIP). Was arrested by the Dallas Police and later shot by Jack Rubby. If you want to prove he was part of a conspiracy....., fine....., prove it. But never, never say he wasn't the primary 'shooter'..)


Yep... Oswald fired the rifle that made the 3 shots that did the killing.   He then shot Tibbits.

Mon Dia, I accept the explanation of your position.
But I can't agree with the geriatric part of it.  :cool:

"Alexander" bombed world-wide, not just in the US.  For him to blame his crappy movie on American closed-mindedness is just proof of what a total loser he is.  He's moving to the right country.

Ra, "Alexander" has NOT bombed world-wide.
The moneywise comparison of its "fiasco" is not the evidence of the degree of its success. Ticket prices in Europe and elsewhere are different from the Hollywood power-'sucktion' nozzle clearing up the American wallets. :D

Yeah, its a shame, but even the worst crap tends to be profitable after overseas ticket sales & DVD sales are all totaled up.   Thats why Hollywood entertainment companies are expected to make about 30% annual profits

Budget about $150,000,000

WW Gross revenue as of Jan 13th $100,393,134

There is a reason they call it the movie business

Alexander is a bomb.

----------edit---------------------------

The Incredibles:

Budget 92 million

WW Gross revenue $578,824,860

Next time bet on Pixar, not Stone.

Relax, WilldCrd. Everything will be alright.
The guy is just another anti-Alexander conspiracy theorist. Forget about him.

BTW, is your avatar single?
