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.

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.

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).

I was SO in Love with Lewis in BoB. Great character and great acting.
You know that episode in which Winters goes off to Paris alone on a leave, and there is this long wordless sequence where he wanders around the city, lonely and haunted by the vision of the young German soldier he had to kill, while looking marvellous in his uniform? And how the scene ends with Winters slipping into a bath? Oh, my.
Don't forget Dangerous Liasons!
Oy. At least his scenes were mercifully brief. I think Keanu probably recognized his limitations, since he thoughtfully stopped doing period films.

Branagh's Yank accent in Dead Again (one of my alltime faves) had that strange flatness that just screams "Shakesperian Brit Acting American!" to me.

"Captain Sobel! We salute the rank, not the man." I love that the man that Sobel tried to court martial ended up his superior.

Me too, though I still adore the film.

Thrive to spite them
wonders idly if there's Winters/Nix slashfic out there.
I'm pretty sure I've seen Band of Brothers fic somewhere. Maybe on a ficathon or a Secret Santa exchange. Or a rare pairings rec list.
It's something new for me to hunt for.
I haven't finished watching the DVDS of BoB, but I saw it when it was on The history Channel. I could have sworn that there were voice overs when it was shown on the History Channel but there weren't on the dvd.
Did I just have audio hallucinations?

Hmm, it always sounded like Mandy Patinkin to me. Anyway, miles better than his Woody Allen impression in CELEBRITY.
