Buffista Movies 4: Straight to Video  

A place to talk about movies--old and new, good and bad, high art and high cheese. It's the place to place your kittens on the award winners, gossip about upcoming fims and discuss DVD releases and extras. Spoiler policy: White font all plot-related discussion until a movie's been in wide release two weeks, and keep the major HSQ in white font until two weeks after the video/DVD release.

Shit's all sorts of different now.

"When I look at people that I would like to feel have been a mentor or an inspiring kind of archetype of what I'd love to see my career eventually be mentioned as a footnote for in the same paragraph, it would be, like, Bowie." ~Trent Reznor

Now it is time to list favorite BAD accents.
Christopher Lambert's young Connor MacLeod. Adrian Paul's young Duncan MacLeod. Also, either of their actual accents.

move out and draw fire

have you seen the pic of the real Nix the morning after VE Day? It's in the book, and he epitomizes the word "hungover"

Indeed I have, and you are so right.

I'm terrifically busy with my ennui.

Louise Lombard on CSI. (For bad accents.) I have no idea what her actual accent is like, or if that is hers, but it sounds like a horrid combination of British and Bronx.

Life moves pretty fast. You don't stop and look around once in a while, you could miss it.

Tom Wilkinson in the latest Batman had a weird Brooklyn-meets-Manchester thing happening.

Although I seem to recall him having a very good accent in In the Bedroom.

Kiss me, my girl, before I'm sick.

wonders idly if there's Winters/Nix slashfic out there.

Oh yeah.

That scene by the lake in the opening scene of the last episode was slashier than some of the season 1 Smallville, which is my slash-barometer. Can't quite wrap my mind around RL war-vet slash though.

I was SO in Love with Lewis in BoB. Great character and great acting.

I can't believe no one mentioned Keanu yet. His accents in Much Ado About Nothing and Dracula were atrocious. Actually, I can't even remember whether he was *trying* for a British accent.

So come, my friends, be not afraid/We are so lightly here/It is in love that we are made; In love we disappear

I have no idea what her actual accent is like, or if that is hers, but it sounds like a horrid combination of British and Bronx.

There was no Bronx in it when she was starring in The House of Eliott.

Well not canonically, no, but this is transformative fiction.

Hell, I left Dracula mid-movie to avoid hearing Keanu speak again (I'd so hoped he was dead).
