Re: Alexander the great?

Do you know what, JJ? I donGÇÖt think that your attitude GÇ£convince me heGÇÖs cool dudeGÇ¥ will develop into the interesting discussion. I also think, after reading all your posts on this thread, that while comparing Alexander to other, undeniably prominent figures, in the hurry you confused the 2 ...

Re: Hephaestion's looks

Actually, you know this is very interesting, those bits of information. My personal interpretation for some reason, from all the sources - (i don't know who was handsomer or prettier. We don't know how Hephaistion looked, we can only guess. I barely inderstand how Alex looked even though we have som...

Re: NEW pics from the set-I'd say the best so far...

Well, i don't think it looks "amazing", but! It's really the best so far.For the first time i've got the "right" feeling from those stills. Maybe that'll be the overall feeling of the movie, after all.No, really, much better than the former pictures. Thank you very much, Lane. :)...

Re: Photos from the set of 'Alexander'

I decided i "can handle" Collin as Al pretty fine, because he can act (when he wants and when he's guided in right direction);) Let's hope Stone knows how to guide him well. What i can't handle so far is his choice of Roxanne. Excuse me, but i can't. Eric Bana?!!!! Consider me confused! Th...

Re: Green mentions Hep and Demosthenes as...friends?

where is he getting this?Ehr...From nowhere? ;)I surely don't remember anything written about Hephaistion and Demosphen being friends.
I do remember, vaguely, something about Hephaistion and Aristotle being in touch.

Re: The Last Campaign

Cold shower for Marcus!!!!! ;)Well, as far as i remember, it was mainly guerilla war. Cossaeans were a mountaneous tribe, just like Uxii and i guess they did cause some trouble, which required solution. So - the answer is no, there was no major battle of some kind. Noone of contempors mentions it. W...

Re: speculations about Oliver Stone's movie

Well, Jared Leto did make some good choices in his carrer, but he was pretty bland in all of them. Let's say - he wasn't the one who made the biggest impact on me in Requiem For The Dream or Fight Club. I barely remember he was there.But physically he isn't bad for Hephaistion (sp?). I have to say t...

Re: Alexander's height and a question

Um-m... The last time i read in some russian publication,Phillip's height was approximately 1 meter 58-59 sm. Accordingly, the scientists (again, according to the publication)figured that Alexander's height was a bit higher - 1 meter 62-63 sm. Alas, i don't think it was based on some hard evidence.A...
