Never underestimate the ability of a Texan to poorly exaggerate a southern dialect. I give you Matthew Mcconaghey in Time to Kill.

You sound tarred and probably just need to come home and hit the hay.
I think my southern accent is generally pretty muted, but it really seems to come out on phone calls.
Cool quiz. If you triangulate the 3 cities it gave me, it landed in North Texas about 2 hours or so from where I am now and very close to where I was born and lived for the first 8 years of my life. After that I grew up a little further SE, but it was very heavy dark red in that map.
Ooh, I like that site. I think I shall get lost in it for a few hours this Thanksgiving weekend! Cheers!
I have had that thought myself.
There's a pretty good Facts video where they talk about people doing Irish accents, and of all the ones they showed, which included Sean Connery in Untouchables (didn't like), Gerard Butler in something (didn't like), Cruise in Far and Away (laughed at), and others; Pitt in Snatch was the one they felt was the most…
Yeah, that was weird, but it didn't bug me. A Belfast accent that drove me up the wall was Billie Piper in Penny Dreadful, of which I only watched a season. Ach that was hard to listen to.
It's bad?
I like Hardy's accent in Peaky Blinders. It's so fucking weird.
Put the bunny in the box.
I would have really been interested to hear what he would say about Gary Oldman's accent in Fifth Element. It's very Texan, but it also has some other weirdness in it. People railed on it as bad Southern, and it kind of is, but I like to think he took a very Texan drawl and then did something with it to make it…
It's fairly different as I recall, but it's been a while since I read it. I'm enjoying it for what it is I suppose. It would seem like a direct adaptation would be futile and probably drive people bonkers with how it doesn't match up to the novels.
I grew up in SE Texas, and we had this one substitute teacher who, when provoked enough, would yell at us that if didn't knock that mess off, we could just leave and "go get your drugs from Popeye's" and not come back.
He could be missing out.
Central TX resident - We're buying a fried turkey this year from a local smokehouse because I am not ready to tempt fate by frying it myself in the driveway. I would probably injure myself. Let the professionals handle it.
So you only got one question with Scott?
You know they already fight clubbed it to decide who would do this.
Aw c'mon. That's two solid Pulp Fiction references…
Pigs are filthy animals… Pigs sleep and root in shit.
