Brains of Stone

I'm a good liberal, but I can't get behind this:

LONDON - Often-controversial director Oliver Stone has blamed the failure of his epic film Alexander on the "raging fundamentalism" in the U.S. South.

Really, that's why it tanked in every city in the country, New York, Los Angeles, San Francisco, Seattle, and all parts north, south, east and west inclusive? You mean it wasn't just because it was a long, boring, crappy movie? It couldn't be that?

I don't doubt that a certain element might have heard about the frank depiction of bisexuality and got a little squeamish. But to blame the film's entire demise on that? Well, I guess the director of "JFK" would have to come up with a conspiracy theory. Ollie, listen up, sometimes bad movies are bad movies because they're bad movies.
