Alexander (blu-ray) 2004 historical epic movie written and directed by
Oliver Stone starring Colin Farrell as Alexander the Great.  The movie
jumps around in time chronicling Alexander's conquest of the then known
world as well as following his various love affairs.  This was the
"Revisited: The Final Cut" which put back in every last frame of film
and the kitchen sink pushing the run time to just under 4 hours.

4 hours, yikes! I have the DVD and according to my database it's 175
min. (easily enough to get me antsy).

 Sheesh, that's a long time to dedicate to one movie.

That's how long the "Snyder cut" of "Justice League" was, and I think most of us around her sat through that.
It's also probably as long as some of the "extended cuts" of some of "The Lord of the Rings" flicks are (though I haven't gotten to these yet...).

Gladiator (4K disc)  2000 historical epic movie directed by Ridley
Scott and starring Russell Crowe as the general who became a slave, the
slave who became a gladiator, and the gladiator who defied an empire.
Joaquin Phoenix costars as the emperor who became vexed.  The movie
holds up great.

Yes it does, I have the DVD. Incidentally I heard scholarly types
spotted at least one serious blooper in the new Gladiator II that's
coming out -- a Roman general is shown reading a newspaper 1,200 years
before the invention of the printing press. lol.

 A good movie that I haven't re-watched in years.

I saw a good chunk of it within the last 2-3 months on... HBO? Showtime?

As for myself I got in a few things over the past few days.
 I also watched TRACKER

Oh, you poor thing!...  ;p

I also started a movie, GEOSTORM, but didn't get very far.

"Geostorm" is ridiculous, but still kind of fun. Whereas "Moonfall" is ridiculous, and not really fun.
