Hey Dana, have you seen the promos for The Princess and The Frog?
Jeez, don't get all Movie of the Week. I was just too cheap to buy you a real present.

I haven't trusted science since I saw the film "Flubber."
Yes, there are no suburbs in Louisiana it's all swamp shacks and plantations and the quarter is the only downtown to speak of
And St. Louis Cathedral is the only church anyone ever goes to.
Hey Dana, have you seen the promos for The Princess and The Frog?
I haven't. Is that the new Disney thing? Will it make me cry tears of ouch?

There's not that much out yet, maybe two quick clips, but I liked what little there was and the music is Randy Newman. But, I'm a sap who misses home.

Yes, there are no suburbs in Louisiana it's all swamp shacks and plantations and the quarter is the only downtown to speak of, and when we do speak we sound like we're from Georgia.
People who are supposed to be from Georgia never sound like they're from Georgia. It was the accent that made me unable to watch The Closer.

Sometimes I think I might just move up to Vermont, open a bookstore or a vegan restaurant. Adam Schlesinger, z''l
The women playing the four main characters in Divine Secrets of the Ya-Ya Sisterhood at the older and younger ages managed to get eight different accents, not one of which sounded right.

No kidding. I found it interesting that the one who came closest was Fionulla Flanagan, who's Irish.

Sandra Bullock's wasn't awful, but it was Texanish which is more NW Louisiana.

Steel Magnolias had a similar problem. I love watching Olympia Dukakis, but her accent really didn't work.

Yeah, but with her you could at least argue that it had been tempered/mangled by all her years in New York. The others didn't really have an excuse.

The very worst one, though, was Dylan McDermott. I still cringe every time he whines, "C'mon, Shelby, say you'll marry me."

Ok, y'all I need some hivemind advice. I conked my head around 2pm today (slammed my forehead into the freeze door handle as I was standing up from cleaning the fridge), have a good 2 inch mark on my forehead and now I have a fever of 100.6. What is a worrisome temp for an adult? I'm afraid to google.
