That's irrelevant. When you click on an updated thread it takes you to the latest post.

Yes. But it looked like a comment out of nowhere. Hence my questions.
It really doesn't matter though.

It seemed to matter to you a while ago.

I'm watching Black Sea and Jude Law is having a go at a Scottish man accent. I don't know whether he's any good at it or not."

Just watched the trailer to see.

How can you not know whether that's good or not? How is it possible not to know?

Do you think people really care about whether cheese should be on or under beans on a baked spud?

Presumably his terrible acting camouflages his accent

Apparently he's supposed to be doing an Aberdeen accent. I have no idea what an Aberdeen accent sounds like so I'm unable to discern whether the accent is accurate or just a bit Russ Abbott. It was not a good fillum.

Aberdeen? No, it isn't a good Aberdeen accent. It sounds nothing like an Aberdeen accent. It is as authentic as a very inauthentic thing that has won the award for inauthenticity at the world inauthenticity championships.

John Malkovitch's Russian accent in Rounders is hilariously hammy. Think compare the Meerkat dot com and you are there.

Sounds exactly the same

Which reminds me - what's the connection between Rounders and China Crisis, Idaho?

Also, clearly the inspiration behind the creepy Oreo advert dad.

Either I made a mistake with the link, or was thinking something at the time... Mystery.

Was flicking channels last night and there was some god awful film with Gerard Butler in it. (Is there any other kind?) I was transfixed by the horror of his accent -- he was apparently playing a Scottish character but his accent seemed to go from his normal Scottish one (I think when he forgot he was meant to be doing an accent?) to an appalling 'American' one. Still, you have to hand it to him -- he's built a reasonabke career on no discernable acting talent whatsoever.

Marina Hyde:
Someone who was in a film with Gerard Butler once told me of the latter's rapturous reaction to some rushes. "Jesus!" marvelled Butler. "Did you see my eyes in that take?"

I know someone who used to work with him -- he was a solicitor (or training to be one anyway). Apparently he was infamous for his Friday/Monday sickies.

I believe Gonch Gardner from Grange Hill also trained as a lawyer. Coincidence? I THINK NOT.

Al Pacino does a cockney accent and it's worse than Van Dyke's:
