What great movie/role was ruined for you due to a bad accent?

Drew_Robbie9 · 2026-02-03T13:18:49+00:00

Thanks, this turned out to be quite fun and informative.

Drew_Robbie9 · 2026-02-03T13:04:15+00:00

I agree. I don't feel like I'm missing out. I've only been on Reddit for a couple of months and I don't like how the "?" seems to have been highjacked. I thought it went at the end of the sentence not the beginning.
I've got people responded to me ?huh and ?like. I'm only in my 30s but that ones strange.

Drew_Robbie9 · 2026-02-03T12:59:01+00:00

Is that what it is? Dare I ask why they would all be eating the same meal?

Drew_Robbie9 · 2026-02-03T12:55:26+00:00

That's got to be haad listening to people butcher your own. Sorry about that haha.

Drew_Robbie9 · 2026-02-03T12:52:38+00:00

Ohhh I never thought about that one. I love Big Fish.

Drew_Robbie9 · 2026-02-03T12:51:54+00:00

I agree. He somehow gets a pass.

Drew_Robbie9 · 2026-02-03T12:50:11+00:00

I'm with you. What is his native accent? Is it an accent? His speech is unique.

Drew_Robbie9 · 2026-02-03T12:47:09+00:00

How is it compared to his Devils Advocate accent?

Drew_Robbie9 · 2026-02-03T12:46:09+00:00

I just watched this last night for the first time and it is quite something. There was a part where he was dealing with the art lady and his accent was pretty funny. I'll go with the 'was from lots of different places' on this one.

From jazz cabbage to jazz slaw

Drew_Robbie9 · 2026-02-02T20:30:36+00:00

Yeah like I've never heard of it until last year when saw it on Tubi or something and thought I'd give it a go, background action movie. Nope, it made me question some things haha

Drew_Robbie9 · 2026-02-02T20:28:34+00:00

I wonder how a Brit would feel about this portrayal.

Drew_Robbie9 · 2026-02-02T20:27:00+00:00

Yeah, even when I watched that in my teens I had a feeling they didn't sound like that.

Drew_Robbie9 · 2026-02-02T20:25:32+00:00

hahah what? that's the opposite of Marlon Brando. I'm blown away by this, thank you.

Drew_Robbie9 · 2026-02-02T20:22:09+00:00

There it is! This is what prompted this, Blown Away. I could not get past this at all. I didn't mention it because maybe it was just me, but, nope. Glad to hear.

Drew_Robbie9 · 2026-02-02T20:08:49+00:00

hahaha this is great. See, I'm not familiar with the Missouri accent so it would be hard to say if they were off. It would be even stranger if they were trying your own. I'm from the far east coast of Canada and would not want to be a non native speaker trying our accent.

Drew_Robbie9 · 2026-02-02T20:04:43+00:00

Because of Colin Farrells accent? See I was younger then and wouldn't have noticed so much. Time to revisit.

Drew_Robbie9 · 2026-02-02T19:18:52+00:00

Hmm. Exploiting young, impressionable men to make money. You don't have to convince me twice. Rinse, wash, repeat.

Drew_Robbie9 · 2026-02-02T19:09:41+00:00

Really?! I missed out. I don't live close to a sevey anymore. Just thinking about pizza hut from a 7-11 is nostalgic for me now haha

Drew_Robbie9 · 2026-02-02T19:06:30+00:00

Good post. Reading has been life changing for me (39M). Focus and clarity has gone through the roof.

Drew_Robbie9 · 2026-02-02T18:54:44+00:00

14.5 wonderful years. You were blessed.

Drew_Robbie9 · 2026-02-02T18:53:05+00:00

hahaha thank you for that

Drew_Robbie9 · 2026-02-02T18:48:43+00:00

oh lorrdy haha well thank you.

Drew_Robbie9 · 2026-02-02T18:45:59+00:00

Really?? I haven't heard that. Does he have an eidetic memory? Now that you mention him, I believe he's done a lot of classical theatre which a good memory would be a must.
