And in case YOU don't read the Dish...

"Director Oliver Stone has cut the gay references from his "Alexander" movie for the DVD version of the 2004 flop.

Stone claimed his epic was unpopular with American audiences because of the subtle homosexual content.

He said, "They didn't even read the reviews in the South because the media was using the words: 'Alex is Gay.' As a result you can bet that they thought, 'We're not going to see a film about a military leader that has got something wrong with him.'"

In the DVD version, the relationship between Colin Farrell's Alexander the Great character and Hephaistion -- played by Jared Leto -- will be portrayed as simply a friendship.

However, fans of Rosario Dawson will be pleased to know more angles of her character Roxanne's naked exposure will be included in the DVD."

I'll leave you to your own comments about the overall idiocy of Oliver Stone's mentality.* I will add my two cents to the last paragraph though: but of course.

Okay, no I won't (but add your own!): Um, yeah, it's not that the movie SUCKED, it's because of the gay references. RIIIIIGHT. And yes, heaven forbid we watch ANYTHING having to do with military leaders having something wrong with them. Because we aren't inundated with that EVERY SINGLE DAY OF OUR LIVES right now.
