Hot tea and honey, it helps.
fabulous
Yeah
Good, that's when our weather is most decent.
i wonder how accents evolve like that
He is going to EUROPALAND?
We saw Despicable Me and The Boat That Rocked.
Yeah, it would be good to know more about that kind of thing, but I never had enough free credits to take Sociology papers at uni.
The one paper I did take on the topic was of the firm opinion (or the lecturer at least), that NZers (using standard mimic based studies) are the only primary English speakers (as a nation) where the native speakers to do not see their particular accent as more prestigious/ worthy than the common alternatives (Basic American, British, Australian, Canadian etc)
places that aren't america have high background levels of Foreign particles that are known to cause accent growth in humans
I wouldn't believe someone who said they understood it in one viewing without reading something or talking to people about it
no mumblecore?
fail
Yeah, just as soon as Canada, Australia and New Zealand are finished with him, I shall greet him as he enters our Socialist EUtopia. Pun intended with no regrets.
Despicable Me was pretty meh, actually kind of terrible.
The Boat That Rocked is so good though.
Even if someone did that for me I'd have to be all "ok, now explain it all again WHILE we watch the movie"
The bear sheds ONE tear.
Continent of MARX greets the Octopod.
Is Sweden no longer part of EUROPALAND?
Also, is the food Ikea offers like the Theme Park version of traditional Swedish Cuisine?
do we sound stupid to them, like how british accents sound refined, or aussie ones sound laid back
yeah me too
I watched it, didn't get what the fuss was about, read a bunch of shit, understood that I missed so fucking much in the movie, watched it again, and then talked about it a lot.
now I'm a fan, but I always say 'watch it twice'
bye bye
Despicable Me was incredibly formulaic, and felt like it was formulaic for the sake of being formulaic.
i wonder this all the time.
Yes and yes.
I just hadn't kept up with where the little guy was for a while.
Southern accepts generally sound like DURR HERP DERP to Europeans, but most other American accents are fine. (While spoken at normal volume.)
touch him
in his furry place
American accents sound.. very blunt. Not stupid, just blunt.
Very seldom do you expect any subtlety from an American accent.
It's difficult to describe.
I've got an international school accent, I wonder how I sound - Brits think American or sometimes Scottish/Irish, Americans think British, everyone says I have perfect English though.
Funny thing is that pretty much all people who've gone to international schools growing up sound exactly the same, no matter where they went to school.
We sound like liberty
*f-22s do a fly over*
and freedom.
*bald eagle screeches*
But I bought the movie, why would I only watch it once?
I was expecting something like Shutter Island in how, on the rewatch, you're given an entirely new perspective, which given the sci-fi subject matter was totally a possibility to me.
I thought there was more to the "watch it twice!" thing is all.
Ah do declare that the dulcet tones of the refahned Country Gentulman is a dahlect originating from these Unahted States that Ah fahnd most pleasureable upon mah ears.
Nah, it's just a case of the ending of Primer being "oh yeah, we forgot to tell you all this stuff - look how the narrative suddenly makes sense"
But then it doesn't and you need fifteen fucking graphs to figure it all out.
I watched the movie once, spoke with my friend about it while we browsed the wiki article on it before we eventually concluded it was a dumb film never to be watched again.
Ah, thanks for reminding me; I keep forgetting to put shutter island up.
Maritimes folk do, definitely
and the Francophones, sure
but the rest of us? Nahhhh
We say 'broodle' instead of brutal.
And a few other little quirks like that.
Otherwise, we sound American.
