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.

Days shrink and grow cold, sunlight through leaves is my song. Winter is long.
Of course he's the villain--he has a British accent. All movie villains have British accents. Except for LotR and Harry Potter.
All Hollywood villains have British accents.

But usually there's a British accent lurking beneath the adopted Russian or German accent. It sometimes seems a Brit or UK actor can't get a job in Hollywood unless it's as a villain, or he has a workable American accent.

But they're doing it with American accents! So, you know, we still have some ground to hoe.
Of course, most American movies have people with, what, one of three American accents? So the fact that there are not British accents I find hardly surprising.
