Spielberg did everyone a favour. Bay gets to direct his idiotic, borderline-offensive pablum, the studios get a surefire franchise that can survive every single instalment being a terrible film, and people who like good movies know to avoid them. The only people who burnt by this arrangement are fans of the original…

Phrasing!

I'm a proscuitto man myself.

When the fires stop being fake, that's when the world has hit rock bottom.

I think what made Hardy difficult to understand was not the accent but the huge frickin' industrial accident over his mouth.

Jodie Foster based that accent on Christine Lagarde and actually toned it down.

I'm sure John Wayne fully aware of the existence of non-white, non-Christian peoples. He killed enough of them in his movies.

I think he confused his swede's accent for a turnip's.

I remember seeing Capote and thinking Hoffman had done a caricature of an accent…until I saw old footage of Capote speaking.

That scene with Christoph Waltz picking apart the accents of the Americans is one of the highlights of recent movie experiences.

Not necessarily. Donald Pleasance nailed his Aussie accent in Wake in Fright and RDJ is amazing in Tropic Thunder (somebody already mentioned this above) where he plays an Australian pretending to be a black American whose accent slips from time to time — and nails it.

I was absolutely floored when I found out Justified's Dewey Crowe was played by an Australian

I think he just made a mistake in thinking it was meant to be a NY accent when Gotham City is a stand-in for Chicago. But it wouldn't change his opinion of Ledger's performance.

I think you mean…roboto overlords.

And Will Ferrell's right behind him.

Pablum!, Thursday nights on CBS.

Don't let your personal observations interfere with our tribal glorification!

Have you seen In the Valley of Elah? Because that's what you're asking for.

Yes, I remember the Hornblower book where he went back in time, met his evil alternative, and defeated an omnipotent energy being.

Hothouse by Brian Aldiss is set so far in the future that the Earth has has become tidally locked to the Sun and the descendants of humans are barely recognisable as such. It also has brain-modifying fungus infection as a plot point way before Last of Us did it.
