Greek lawyers call off fight over Alexander until they've seen movie

ATHENS, Greece (AP) - A group of Greek lawyers angry at the portrayal of Alexander the Great as a bisexual in the Hollywood movie Alexander suspended legal action after conceding they hadn't watched the film.

Court officials said Tuesday the group of 25 lawyers withdrew their request that the movie's opening in Greece be delayed. Alexander, directed by Oliver Stone, stars Colin Farrell as the warrior king. The film, which opened to mixed reviews in the United States, is set for release Friday.

The lawyers argue there is no historical evidence supporting claims that Alexander had male lovers. They had demanded the movie's release be delayed until its producers agreed to include a disclaimer explaining that the film is a fictional portrayal of Alexander's life.

But they suspended the action until they can attend a preview screening of the film later this week.

Not to stereotype….. :P

That's going to anger Majin.

Apparently thats how it weas back then. And it was a relatively good portrayal:???:

Bull shit, there is historical evidence. They just made it u to be offensive? A lot of greeks were bisexual. Why does it even matter?

I think it's because saints aren't allowed to be sexual at all. So the truth really is, Alexander died a virgin.

i guess it really shows how homophobic todays society still is. its pathetic that bisexuality is enough to turn people off going to see a movie.

finally , a thread where i can post this joke :

what is the motto of the greek army ?

" never leave your buddies behind "

get it ?

Actually i found out he wasn't a saint, it was a different alexander.

there was mixed translations of the stuff that they found on alexander the great.

I think one of the things they found was him referring to his friend as agapi (one who loves another like friends) but translated it to erotos (meaning to love in a fucking kinda way)

Alexander used to flip a coin before he started the day

"Heads I get some tails, Tails I get some head" he'd often say

I never knew Majin was gay.
