Thank you so much for the laugh, Nax! I was nearly doubled over after reading your comments...largely because I know which 'J' you're referring to! (J is always good for a laugh!)

How does a piece of crap like this get published? Just who did the author sleep with to get a book deal?I have a friend in Alberta who has written a series of Alexander books. I've read them, they're good, but no publisher (so far) is willing to put them into print. They may never see the light of d...

I think you're on to something here. I don't see him as the kind of military leader that we have today. He was so much more than that back then. I feel he would be an activist for the poor, the environment, or a political leader along the lines of JFK, or Nelson Mandela. I can also see something of ...

I've just started reading the book 'The Wisdom of Alexander the Great' by Lance Kurke. In it he mentions that Alexander "trained as a doctor and administered medical assistance to soldiers".I remember reading that Aristotle implanted in him a love of biology and botony. He may have learned...

For anyone interested, here is Roger Ebert's list of what he feels is the ten worst movies of 2004:10th Worst: The Village 9th: The Whole Ten Yards8th: Resident Evil: Apocalypse7th: White Chicks6th: The Grudge5th: New York Minute (He actually thought this piece of crap was better than Alexander or T...

...And it's a tie! He named both Alexander and Troy as the worst movies of 2004, saying Troy was the better of the two.You should have seen his list for what he thought was BETTER than these two movies!! Two of them being 'White Chicks' and 'Christmas with the Cranks'!Thanks a pant load, Rog, I just...

I don't believe in censorship of any kind, unless it protects others from something that is degrading or racist. I doubt the original thread ever stooped to that level. Correct me if I'm wrong. The original thread should have been left, and this one should remain as well. It's all part of the free s...

I am a Canadian living in Alberta...and of Celtic origins. My obsession with Alexander began decades ago when I was in my teens, and that spark was ignited by an ancient history teacher. I remember thinking that there was this kid, not much older than I was, who took control of much of the known wor...

Did the thread get removed? I tried to do a search for it (a) to reread the fan fic, and (b) to reread the comments to see if I viewed things differently a day later, but nothing came up. What gives?

So Kenny, your evaluation causes me to doubt your good sense and good judgement about Alexander and movies in general. Wow, I had to stop and read this twice because I couldn't believe what I was seeing!To those who didn't like the movie, you have a right to your opinion. We have all read about it.....

Does anyone know anything about the following book? Has anyone read it?Alexander the Fabulous: The Man Who Brought the World to Its Knees by Michael AlvearI'm always in the market for Alexander books, whether fiction or non, but I wanted to get the opinions of others--before I ran out to purchase it...

Got cut off!I think there is room out there for more than one interpretation of Alexander's life. In fact, the more the better!So I say to those who have yet to see the movie: don't let anyone's opinion sway you or discourage you from seeing it. It's better than many have said it is. I'm certainly g...

I may be in the minority here, but I enjoyed the movie. I tried to go into the theatre with an open mind, and I'll admit that I really wasn't looking forward to seeing it because of all the negative reviews, but I wanted to see it on the big screen, and found myself pleasantly surprised.Yes, the acc...
