Oliver Stone is blaming you ignorant redneck Bible-thumpers for the abject failure of his most recent movie:
Often-controversial director Oliver Stone has blamed the failure of his epic film Alexander on the "raging fundamentalism" in the U.S. South. The film, which stars Irish actor Colin Farrell in the story of the Macedonian conqueror Alexander the Great, was greeted with derisive reviews. It was also a failure at the box office. Budgeted at roughly $150 million U.S., it has pulled in only $34 million so far. "I was quite taken aback by the controversy and fierceness of the reviews about a character we don't really know too much about," Stone said before the film's British premiere on Wednesday.
Ollie, I am not a fundamentalist. You know why your movie did so poorly? Because it s u c k e d . My favorite comment from a reviewer:
Watching Oliver Stone's Alexander is like being strapped to a motion-simulator seat in an ancient history theme park. You can scream but you cannot escape.Heh.
