I read in The Florida Times-Union today that Oliver Stone is surprised over how poorly his movie Alexander has performed at the box office. In speaking to the British Press he blamed the critical reception of his movie on the fundamentalist morality in parts of the country. He then showed his true colors when he said “They didn’t even read the reviews in the South because the media was using the words, ‘Alex the gay’.”

Well Mr. Stone, I live in the South and I never once saw your movie referred to as “Alex the gay” and I did read reviews. The reviews I read were not in Southern papers but on the internet and in national papers. Guess what? They consistently said your movie sucked! That’s right! The precious Oliver Stone who never hesitates to put his opinion before truth made a bad movie. I heard it was poorly acted, poorly directed, poorly made, and was so far from being historically accurate that it was impossible to watch. So, I chose to not see your movie because the reviews said it was bad. Perhaps instead of complaining about fundamentalist morality you could focus on making good movies.
