At the Movies: "Alexander the what?"
Posted: Thursday December 2nd, 2004

When I initially saw the trailers for this movie (Alexander the Great), I rolled my eyes and scoffed. When I heard Colin Ferell deliver words of encouragement to his army of men, I grumbled under my breath because it was a terrible rip off of Russel Crow's infinitely more believable oratory in Gladiator.
Then I head Angelina Jolie's "accent". I clenched my jaw and struggled through that damn ridiculous ass "Alexander the Great" line. I wanted to do physical damage to some object in my house in an effort to try to scour it from my head.
Now, I haven't seen the movie. I refuse to as a matter of fact. But, I think it's somewhat telling that Alexander's opening weekend brought in less money than Sponge Bob's second.
So yeah, without ranting and raving, I'll just leave you with Today's Comic to sum up my general dislike of what I've seen thus far in trailers, behind the scenes, and the making of's.
And that look on my face in the comic... well, let's just say that it's result of having been MADE to go to the movie because of Ted's infatuation with Angelina Jolie. A sentiment I do not share in the least.
