Legends of the Fall with Brad Pitt..honestly..after two hours the last half an hour was unbearable. Ive seen movies i thought were bad, but i thought this movie was simply tactless. I did however like the character named Isabelle two, who, like everyone else on the movie excluding the indian (sorry dont remember his name) is killed. I also feel the sexual scenes between Brad Pitt and and the other characters really *weren't* needed. I feel the moviegoers would understand implications of these things without having to see these things. I'll admit, i'm not a person who likes Brad Pitt because he's "hot", and i haven't seen other movies with him, so i can't assert my opinion about his acting. Although another person who was with me absolutely loved it, although she only wanted to see it because of Brad Pitt. The other person with us agreed that it was overall pretty bad, although he *does* like certain movies with Brad Pitt.

Shill!

Oh, wait, shills are supposed to endorse a movie, right? I'm afraid I'll never get the hang of this.

Anyway, speaking of Legends of the Fall, starring Brad Pit and Anthony Hopkins, be sure to pick up the newly-restored two-disc Director's Cut, for only $24.95! It will be available Dec. 5 -- Just in time for Christmas. Even if you don't like it, someone you know does, and it's a perfect stocking stuffer! Reserve you copy today!

Alexander by Oliver Stone! This movie was just about how Alexander was gay. This movie was basically gay propoganda!! Oliver Stone is basically saying that since one of the GREATEST people were gay than its okay to be gay! NO THATS NOT TRUE!!! ALEXANDER WAS NOT GAY!! He just had a long life friend that he trusted the most. That doesnt mean that he was gay with him. Back then you could love a man and it was different than now. Loving another male meant that you highly respected them and honored them. Not that you made love with them. I went and saw this movie with a girl and I was embarrassed at what I was watching. THERE WAS COLLIN FARELL MAKING OUT WITH A DUDE! Embarassed

And there was more male on male affection in that movie than anything else. Then there were the fighting scenes were you couldnt tell what was going on. AND IT WAS TOO LONG!!! 3 HOURS of man on man NOWAY!!! This movie gets my vote for worst film ever made!

I can buy into a parent's concern, but here's a question:

Why are you so unhappy if the MPAA rated the movie R and your kid cannot attend without your permission?

From IMDb:

Only days after accepting part of the blame for the box office failure of Alexander in the U.S., director Oliver Stone has attributed the disastrous performance to "raging fundamentalism in morality" in America. Speaking at the London premiere of the movie Wednesday night, Stone said, "From day one audiences didn't show up. They didn't even read the reviews in the South because the media was using the words: 'Alex is Gay.' As a result you can bet that they thought, 'We're not going to see a film about a military leader that has got something wrong with him."

Yeah, I thought Stone's comment was total BS, too--and also quite ironic, in the way he employed raging, stereotypical generalizations to criticize a specific group of people.

I'm reminded also of how so many so-called educated people just think of the Midwest as merely "flyover" country.
