These figures seem a little misleading because they don't include marketing budgets and overseas box office numbers.

**dangerous** · February 4th, 2008, 12:20 AM

Alexander was pretty bad. I felt for my friend Oliver Stone ("Call me Oli"), cause I really like him.

I will always like Bill Cosby for actually showing up to accept his Razzie for Leonard Part 6.

I was pissed. He made a boring movie about Alexander the Great. He deserved to be shamed for it.

I waited years for a movie about Alexander the Great and got that crap. Arg.

Yes, you'd think with all the historical accuracy sacrificed, he'd at least manage 'entertaining'. No such luck.

I saw it at an Athens cinema, and the audience was just howling with laughter, especially whenever Angelina and her Sesame Street accent were onscreen.
