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.
One of my Big Parenting Issues is we are so trapped in our US upper-middle class right way to parent box, and a good antidote is to see how other cultures do stuff.
It's fascinating to see how similar all the babies are in the different environments. Swap out the rock and the plastic bottle for an alphabet block and a rattle and you could watch that exact same scene in any daycare in America.

These theories also give us hope for other films too. For example, we have our own theory that The Kingdom of the Crystal Skull occurs entirely in Indiana Jones's mind--he hallucinates the whole goddamn mess while slowly dying from radiation poisoning in a lead-lined fridge.
What exactly is RDJ's accent in Sherlock Holmes? There was a lispiness to it that struck me as odd, but now that it's had time to seep, I realize it reminds me of Jeremy Northam's accent in The Winslow Boy. Is it an Edwardian/ Victorian London accent that most actors choose not to adopt? Or do I just not watch enough of the right films and shows?
I think the question may be more accurately put as "What exactly are RDJ's accents in Sherlock Holmes?" I couldn't name any of them, but he was kinda mumbly and kinda wobbly.
heh. Most accents, authentic or not, go in one ear and out the other, unless, of course, they is sexay. Just, as a choice (or choices), it's odd.
Maybe a nod to the unmentioned use of cocaine?
