Gripweed posted:District 9, Elysium, and Chappie were all good. So I'm not sure why you'd be worried about his Aliens movie. Elysium was middling at best; Chappie was definitely not good. It's sad because his experimental "demo" films i.e. Zygote, Firebase have far more interesting premises than his previous few movies, but he couldn't secure any funding for those Oats short films. Demonic pretty much cooked him.

Was it just because you couldn't understand the accents? I couldn't either but I still liked the movie.

Blomkamp did make one of the few good Live Action Halo series. Landfall is a neat short film. It was only ten minutes long so it didn't have much time to turn to poo poo like Forward Unto Dawn or Nightfall.

Imagine if instead of making Elysium they had just made The Trailer for Elysium and then nobody would have ever had to watch it.

Two things I appreciated in Elysium: First, how well it showed the low level dudes being exploited. Almost as if the director understood systems of oppression. (Where is he from, again???) Second, how brutal the kills were. It was solid gold violence.

At my old company my boss’ boss had a super thick ny accent which is rare to hear in west coast canada and it was fascinating to listen to. PNW accent where I’m from is apparently the most “neutral” (boring) and why a lot of news anchors come outta seattle or something. Anything on accents or whatever in a youtube video and I’m watchin that poo poo!!

The "neutral" accents are PNW and Nebraska. The absolute expert mode for any voice actor is the affluent white New Orleans voice. It's like an auto-tuned Chicago accent. And the olde timey Mid-Atlantic accent without cartooning it up like you're doing an impression of a radio spokesman.

A GLISTENING HODOR posted:The "neutral" accents are PNW and Nebraska. Is that NO accent like what Kevin Spacey did in House of Cards? He was supposed to be from SC but whenever I heard it my mind just thought Louisiana. I think Spacey really loves doing ridiculous southern accents.

I think Spacey really loves doing ridiculous southern accents. The Foghorn Leghorn that Spacey does is closer to Savannah / South Carolina. It's very fake and very bad, but those are close to it. John Goodman in HBO's Treme is close to what I'm talking about. It's neither southern nor Midwestern. It's just it's own very specific thing.

Speaking of accents, cumberpatch in The power of the dog lol. That movie was trying to be better than the script could muster. Overall a++ for depressing subject matter.

You don't need to watch a show like that when you can see the exact same type of people at the gas station or wherever. Winter sucks up here to be sure, but I'll take a bunch of snow and cold over living in FL any day. How's Virginia? Okay middle ground?
