Olvier Stone's new movie on Alexander the Great has been officially delayed by 3 weeks to now open November 24th.

According to the production company, they want to make sure that they get the appropriate Academy Award nominations -- i.e., best director, best picture and best actor (for Farrell.) That probably says a lot about how good this movie likely is -- a much larger epic than that of Troy. I certainly hope it lives up to the hype.

The unofficial word, btw, is that they did not want to open opposite The Incredibles, which is the new move from Disnay/Pixar. I believe it is from the same folks that did Toy Story, so it should also be good.

We are nearing completion of our game, Tin Soldier: Alexander the Great. It should make for a great companion to the movie since we follow all the major battles of Alexander -- and even provide over 10 minutes of History Channel like cut-scenes scattered throughout the game.

Just seen the trailer. Looks very promising.. but why on earth is Colin Farrell using what sounds like an attempted Irish accent ?! [&:]

Stone had the actors who are supposed to be Macedonian speak with an Irish accent while the Greeks speak with an English accent.

In that case I just have to ask, what accent do the Persians have ?

Then shouldn't the Macedonians have German accents?

Liverpudlian. You stand corrected sir;)

You know, my wife and I were in London recently on vacation. We went to go see the show "Blood Brothers", that was quite good. (We stumbled into front row seats, so we got a great view.)

During the intermission, we struck up a conversation with the folks behind us. I commented that I found one of the characters difficult to understand. I mistakenly said that he had a strong sounding Scottish accent. I was informed that it was, in fact, the accent of someone from Liverpool. (I'm from Texas, so I don't have the foggiest idea on the difference between any of the accents [&:].)

Anyhow, not until today did I even know that someone from Liverpool was a Liverpudlian. So, thanks wodin.... (Not that I don't trust you, but I confirmed here http://www.hyperdictionary.com/dictionary/liverpudlian

Don't tell it to Ringo. Remember in "Yellow Submarine" when Young Fred told him not to pull the lever? Ringo said, "I'm a born Leverpuller."

While "Liverpudlian" is correct, about the only place you'll find the word is in a dictionary [;)] The word in common use is "scouser", with the accent being "scouse".
