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.

Sir, it's not an offence to let your cat eat your bacon. Okay? And we don't arrest cats, I'm very sorry.

Well not canonically, no, but this is transformative fiction.
I cannot get over Jamie Bell. I wish he'd stop making movies with guys who I have allergies to. He needs to be in a buddy rom com with JGL. It doesn't even have to be gay!

And then Ortus came and said "It's Ortin' time" and they all Orted off into the sunset
If the BBC says RDJ's British accent was authentic, I'm not going to argue, but I did think he sounded like he had marbles in his mouth. Granted, so does an Actually British co-worker of mine (and it's not only Americans who have trouble understanding him on conference calls), so there you go.

I liked what they said abou Renee Zellweger's accent from Bridget Jones' - especially in regards to scenes with her friends.

Because books.
The hardest movie for me to understand was probably Quadrophenia, years ago. I couldn't tell what anyone was saying. I do usually have a problem with Guy Ritchie movies, though. Snatch was really hard to understand.
My problem lately is the conflict between soundtrack and dialogue. The music is usually too loud to hear the dialogue right, somehow.

I want the Shoes & Tim Roth. Who, BTW, was tweeting all kinds of backstage pics from the rehearsal & show.

I recall watching a British indie gay comedy a few years ago that really needed subtitles for American English speakers. The Irish leads might as well have been speaking Gaelic for all I could tell, and I don't normally have trouble following Irish accents.

I"m not very good with accents--cf mine own. So it's perfectly possible Downey was in my sweet spot of ni America ni Britain, but whatever he was, I could hear the words. I think it's two things, neither of which applied to me watching.
