Yeah, it often comes out as (or defaults to) either Southern or generic New Yorkish. Like the guy on Legends of Tomorrow. Wouldn't have guessed he was British, but did think something bizarre was up with his accent.

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.

Lincoln managed what sounded to me like a decent Kentucky accent at the start, but it kind of got away from him.

Life moves pretty fast. You don't stop and look around once in a while, you could miss it.
The guy who plays wally West is Australian--that was a surprise. And, of course, Idris Elba in The Wire.

You always do this. We get tipsy, and you take advantage of my love of the scientific method.
Yeah, I heard him on one of the Flash extras on YouTube, and was stunned.

Really! I also had no idea.

Kiss me, my girl, before I'm sick.
Just came back from seeing Moonlight. Gosh, what a beautiful film. It's sparse yet full of feeling, but without sentimentality. The entire film fairly vibrates with all the things unsaid, with the intensity of inchoate longing. There is a scene in the third act in which a character cooks a meal for another, and it's a simple scene, but I just started to well up, not because it was particularly sad but because all the stuff that had been sitting in my chest had to go somewhere. The performances are just extraordinary.
I've been crying in a lot of movies this fall. Arrival and Moonlight and the mother of all weepers, Manchester by the Sea, hasn't even opened yet.

Sometimes I trip on how happy we could be.
I'm not sure why I didn't cry at Moonlight, but I think it may be because only sentimentality makes me cry, and you're right that Moonlight had none.
On another note: How does this cast end up in a movie with 0% on Rotten Tomatoes? [link] (Actually, isn't there a podcast that explores this exact topic? I should look into that.)
