I had to sigh when reading the paper this Saturday. Some ignorant gay-hater wrote to complain that the film should've been called ALEXANDER THE GREAT HOMOSEXUAL, and that his family was scarred by the experience of watching the film. (Hello? Wasn't it rated R? Did you look at reviews?) He claimed that if Alexander truly was gay, they only should have spent 1 minute on it and moved on. But from what I remember (which isn't much), Alexander's male lover played a pretty significant role in his life.
Don't really know why I'm ranting about this . . .
