alexander the... homosexual.

currently listening to:Crush/Dave Matthews Band.

last friday, ilse (who did NOT warn me the movie was almost 3 hours long...) and i went to see...



and let me just say, it's not something i plan on seeing ever again.

*warning, semi-spoilers ahead!*

to those who have seen it, maybe you can relate to my "why i hate the movie" list:

* the very, very dragging first 10 minutes of the movie. (then we skip to the middle of the movie, because i fell asleep...).
* farrell's friggin' assistant!!! OH MY GOD! he just... appears in the stupidest of scenes!!! and his dancing!!! *gasps for breath*
* jared leto's 3-inch eyeliner. (but those were NICE eyes, though!)
* that assistant!!!
* angelina jolie's... "accent".
* the amount of homosexuality in the movie. honestly. i have nothing against homosexuals... i know that in those days, homosexuality was just the way things were done... but...i think they focused on it a weeeee too much! and that assistant!!!
* the leg cramps you get from sitting in your seat for almost 3 hours. my goodness.
* did i mention the assistant?!?

fine, fine. it wasn't that bad. there were good things about it, too:

* in fairness, the set was pretty good. so was the cinematography.
* the actor who played colin farrell as a child was adorable.
* some scenes were just plain...funny. like the horse vs. elephant pose. aaaaaah. a kodak moment indeed.
* it DID give me the sleep i've been needing. i got a total of 30 minutes rest in festival mall cinema 5.
* you get to either plan the rest of your day (or life!).. or bond with the person beside you... because you need to find some sort of distraction just to stay awake.

the end.
