Because I want to see Colin Farrell making out with Jared Leto as much as the next person.

Alexander! Colin Farrell plays a world conqueror with hideous hair and Jared Leto plays Hephaestion, his favourite general, best friend, and lover. The pretty is not lacking in this movie, at all. Behold: Rosario Dawson, Angelina Jolie, Jonathan Rhys-Meyers... I'll spend the entire movie drooling on the popcorn and making mini porn flicks in my head, thank you.

Brad Pitt's originally supposed to play Hephaestion until Jennifer Anniston insisted it would be bad for his image. I'd smack Anniston but I don't know, Leto's hot, so it's all good. Heath Ledger was originally supposed to be Alexander. I'm not much for Ledger, but I can do with any number of that combination. Any two would be good. Or any three, possibly four, with wine and massage oil.

...What superficial? Where?

What I'm kind of sad about is that there was supposed to be another Alexander movie by Baz Luhrmann, but it didn't work out. That would have been beautiful. I'd have liked to see Alexander by Baz Luhrmann. But I can deal with an Oliver Stone movie with beautiful things in it. It's all good.

Also, does Colin look like Macgyver in that picture or what?

Edit: Crazy. There are communities already: alexanderfics and alexander_rpfic. ...Wow.

Yes, yes, yes.

And the best part is, Farrell's supposed to be good in it, so I'll actually be able to watch it all without wanting to throw snotty tissues at the screen.

Or wait, no, you're right. The best part is that they're lovers.

The worst part is the hair. Oh, why that hair???

I'm fangirling already.

The hair that really gets me is the Carrot Top impersonator in the background. WTF like woah.

I have to disagree -- Farrell's hair is far more disturbing, if only because he's the main character, and he's hotness is impaired by it. Now every fic I'll read/write involving Alexander will come only after much inner struggle -- me resisting writing something like Hephaestion leaned in to kiss Alexander, his master, friend, and lover; running his fingers through his ridiculous hair.

I'm going to keep an open mind. If worse comes to worse, there's always Jonathan Rhys-Meyers.
