Status: offline 		i just sat through the  "epic " movie far and away ( nicole kidman and tom cruise ) and as the end credits rolled i felt like literally crying. a dodgier irish accent ive never heard , in fairness to nicole in parts she tried be jaysus cruise learn to act will ya

i swear the man got his voice lessons from the lucky charms comercials .

so first i want to ask. is that how ya`ll over the pond think we sound here on the emerald isle ? or is it just Mr cruise whos thus impaired

the second thing i want to ask is , can anyone think of other movies with accents that made them want to cry ?

conversely, when anyone over here tries to sound american. same cringe.

Now Russel Crowe pulls off the aussie..oh wait he is one.

While I love old movies, especially black and white, they didnt even try to learn the accents.  Thinking...they do it now.
Kirsten Dunset  did not even come close to pulling off her accent, I highly doubt someone from Austria sounds like that.

From what I heard, Nicole and Tom spent almost a year in Ireland, staying with an irish family, trying to learn the accents.

What I hate, is the southern accents that these (Generic) actors use in movies. OMG, do we REALLY sound that hokey?

I see the two lovelies beat me to it. Uggggghhhhhh, it's just atrocious to hear someone trying to sound "Aussie".  Of course, now, I just have a muddled whatever accent. When I got to Australia, friends said  I sounded funny and beat on me to make sure I sounded "right". Got back to the states and everyone said I sounded "funny" so had even more loving, generous friends beat on me to make me sound "right".     I couldn't win......

and, Kevin Costner in "JFK"...he doesn't do American accents any better.

Status: offline 		As someone whom has spent a real Bad Night in Bad Bobs, in Dublin, I salute the OP, both for the topic and the first expression of his opinion on said topic in a perfect exemplar of  "The Craic".

Then again I'm a big fan of the Tain Bo Cuailgne and the Lebhor Gabhala N' Erenn so we shan't be surprised.

Let the flow of this thread be decided by Manannan Mac Lir as opposed to any anglicized "Saint" (such as Aengus Mac Ogh).

That being said as a proem, I must first state that Tommy Timorous of on a Cruise for the Closeted first offended with false and fiendishly fallow approximation of accent most deplorable in Legend.

For which NO alien influence, or influence OVER alien influences, will ever allow him to escape his come-uppance.

Tome, we may at times respect the cock, but never the cock-weasel.

Methinks, by the way, his inability to even moderately ape a Gaelic trill might stem from the fact that we all knoiw he has more in Common with Oscar Wilde than Peter O'Toole.

And you can take that straight to Hibernia Beach in San Francisco.

Until tonight, I had blissfully blocked that twat-travesty from my recollection.

dammit.

And hey, sugargirl, just be thankful Paris Hilton's Bush doen't speak.  Just IMAGINE the accent THAT swampy chernobyl of chocho would have.
