Don't forget Generic (Southern) Californian, although that seems to have fallen out of favor lately.
Dude! It's generic stoner surfery speak.
Yes, it's terribly simple. The good guys are always stalwart and true, the bad guys are easily distinguished by their pointy horns or black hats, and, uh, we always defeat them and save the day. No one ever dies, and everybody lives happily ever after.

Buffista Movies 7: Brides for 7 Samurai
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.

Why did Darth Vader cross the road? To get to the Dark Side!

I think of that not as a regular accent so much as it is an 80's movie reference.

Do the accents from Fargo count if I can't think of any other movie that has them? I'm sure they exist, just having trouble coming up with one.

Something like 10 years later, but damn Denethor is a giant butthead.

Woe to the fucking wicked.
We also don't get the context that he had--and used--a palantir, which makes him much more understandable (if still an ass).

Still an ass, but at least in the novel he had a noble ending (if crazy), rather than a batshit one.

What else besides ramen can you scoop? YOU CAN SCOOP THIS WORLD FROM DARKNESS!

I see what you did there.

Yeah, Denethor at least had the Dark Lord picking at his brain for a good excuse.
Wait, Dark Lord. That's the wrong book. Isn't it?

OMG, so looking forward to this.
