Anya ,'Get It Done'
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've never heard an American say, "That was the worst Southern accent I've ever heard! She sounded Georgian and she is clearly suppoed to be from Alabama!"
I think I've made this comment online, but only when people from Eastern Carolina (e.g. the Scarlett O'Hara accent) are supposed to be from Mississippi or Alabama (e.g. the, uh, Sling Blade accent).
Oh, hey, Jilli -- A friend just sent me something that I think you might adore. Is it okay to send you a pdf? It's not long, so if you fail to adore it (no pressure), it won't suck up a lot of time.
Sure! I need distraction from not hitting my writers with the styleguide.
Newsflash, folks - people with a trad Boston accent don't talk like the Kennedys.
"Say it right! Say it riiight!"

I've said that! Or, okay, probably not exactly that, because I don't know Alabama accents well enough to bitch. But coastal vs. mountain Carolinas? Or whatthehell is that Texas accent doing in Virginia? Sure.

Hit them. And post it to YouTube.
Speaking of which, can anyone rate Kyra Sedgwick's accent on The Closer for me? Is that really an Atlanta accent?
Hit them. And post it to YouTube.
Hee! When Editors Attack!
No. That's not an accent that exists naturally anywhere in the continental US. But perhaps Ginger would be the expert on Atlanta accents.
Raq, I'm in awe, and a sneaky bit of terror of your brains, dear. So freaking funny.
Seekrit to juliana - CHOWDAH!!!

I'll kill you! I'll kill all of you! Especially those of you in the jury!
