Many thanks. Both my wife and daughter are letting me have it non-stop since 'Algy' is much better looking than I am. :rolleyes2:^&grin -- Al

Fine it's an Australian accent.

John from Texas

John,

As far as actors and accents go I think you are confused and cant tell the difference between South African and Australian. I have tried my best but Damian has already put in multiple complaints about this slur on his home country.

You may recall Leo DiCaprio in the movie Blood Diamond. Since you are a movie buff I will let you in on a secret. Dont want you not being in the know on this one but Waynepoo was actually the Aussie dialogue coach for Leo. Some people think Blood Diamond was filmed in Africa but it really was filmed on location in Villagehorse's diamond mine in Australia (about 1,000 km North East of where Wayne WA and Obee live). That well known Australian actor, Arnold Vosloo, when he had his heart to heart exchange with Leo and the soil was actually filmed on Jack's ranch in North Queensland. Waynepoo used to rustle cattle for Jack in the days before they discovered toy soldiers and moved to the big city. You probably know Vosloo from his role in the Western movie The Magnificent Seven Mummies.

Now when you are discussing movies and Leo's chances for an Oscar you can say with "good authority" you know the real story behind Blood Diamond.

Since you are a Tarantino fan I am guessing you are also a fan of the Australian actor Christophe Waltz who is more popular here than Russell Crowe. Probably because he does not throw phones at people and does not support the Rabbitohs. I also like Christophe because he does not buy toy soldiers in Sydney.

Just in case you have not seen Blood Diamond I want you to know Leo dies ......... and he also dies in The Departed. How's that for a double spoiler ? Oh yes, and ever heard of a movie called Titanic ? You will never guess who dies in that one ? Did you know Leo made a movie called Romeo and Juliet and yes you guessed it, he does not live to the end in that one either. I know you have seen Django so no need to guess what happens to Leo in that one. In fact he is beginning to remind me a lot of Sean Bean. Ever seen Game of Thrones, well guess who gets it there ? The Red Wedding ? Too many to list so I will spare you.

Some may not be aware but John recently typed out one of the biggest movie spoilers ever in the history of spoilers in relation to Star Wars and the death of Indiana Jones (I am using code so I don't spoil it for anybody else{sm2}).

Well I have been a fan of Star Wars ever since I saw William Shatner draw his light sabre in the 60's TV series. It was terrible watching as the movie cost me $11 ($157 if I include the coke and popcorn). There I am sitting on the edge of my seat thinking is this the bit where you know who is going to die. Normally I would have had hope that Scotty was going to beam him up and Doc could save him with his scanner thingy. But noooooooooo........ how could that happen when the plot has been blown by the terrible Texan ?. In the history of snitching he makes Joe Vallachi and Sean Penn look like amateurs. J. Edgar would be proud of him. I tell you my revenge is going to be on a par with the fourth Star Wars movie The Wrath of Khan. OK it could have been the 5th movie as it is hard to keep up since they are all jumbled up. Once you have seen two sci fi movies all the space ships look the same and it is hard to tell the Ewoks from the Klingons. I tell yah this boys life has been ruined and my head is more messed up than a character in Inception.

John may have recently seen a movie called The Revanant. That's not revenge, this is revenge. My next movie revelation is going to make the the last boy scout camping trip in The Revenant seem like a walk in the park (please note this does not include parks in LA, Chicago, NY and Boston - actually whenever I think of Boston I think of the theme from The Departed and those gangs of New York are pretty scary).

The coming revelation involves a death bed confession about the few good men at The Alamo. It is going to ruin that story and the movie for John for all time. If you are a fellow Texan I am warning you that you might want to avoid this thread because you will not be able to handle the truth. After all we wouldn't want any Texans going beserk on us would we ? Now that we know there is a branch of Ragnar's mates settled in Texas us Anglo-Saxons have to be careful.

Yours revengefully, Brett^&grin

Hi Brett, maybe give our Texas buddy some slack. I was talking to a Canadian the other day and we were talking about or was it Aboot accents. Funny thing but Aussies can easy tell the difference between Kiwis (New Zealanders) that North Americans struggle with but most Aussies have difficulties with Canadians and American accents. especially Americans from Northern USA. South Africans sound pretty much the same to people for overseas, except for Lions!!!, which pretty much say I'm gunna tear you a New One in any terms!!!

Hi Matt,

You could be right. Different perspectives. Wont even mention some of the wrong accents identifications I have made. I do normally get Canadians and South Africans.

I am just messing with him due to the Star Wars spoiler. I am not even a sci fi type of guy but dont let him know that :wink2: Hopefully he has a sense of humour as those Texans probably have at least 6 guns in the house.

[hotel3alpha]

Brett,

Love Brother! I am sorry that I ruined your Star Wars experience by disclosing the death of Han Solo. I truly am. My bust and I should have realized that Star Wars is loved world wide and the thought of Han Solo leaving us is like having our favorite Uncle passing away. I never realized how much you (my Australian brother in Arms) would suffer emotionally and psychologically from such a revelation. The pain you went through must have been tremendous because...sadly...you already knew what was going to happen. Please accept my apology for my loose tongue as a "careless act" or "youthful indiscretion" for spoiling your Star Wars experience.

My dear, Australian, Overseas, Friend Brett, I robbed you of that. I took away from you the sacred vestiges of the Star Wars mystique of watching a movie to "see what happens" and enjoy the movie afterwards through conversation and reflection. You sir have been wronged...Hoodwinked... Bamboozled...Bojangled...rookie-do-ed...shanked...accosted...violated...chingale (spanish slang for screwed)...by John from Texas and for that I humbly beseech thy forgiveness.

Do you or will you ever forgive me? Or will I have to await a cold plate of revenge? If you do take revenge on me, I will accept it like a man. Yes I will, as I deserve it for what I have done. I had no idea you harbored such a horrible, malicious, vicious, seething, revengeful feeling against me, but I am glad that you finally revealed how you truly feel. Thank you for that and I promise to change my ways in the future regarding movie reviews in the future. Why? Because I must remember not to spoil the movie for anyone. In fact, I will no longer call it a "spoiler alert" but a "Brett Alert" in my mind out of respect for you. [smiley face emoji here]

As far as Mr. DiCaprio is concerned, I truly never counted how many times he has died in movies. However, one of his earliest performances in Basketball Diaries was awesome and in another movie called This Boys Life was great as well. He is a great actor and that is awesome that you guys have worked with him in Australia. But, I did not bring up Mr. Leo in any of my post, so I don't know why you mentioned him in your retort to me. It's okay though, I understand why you brought it up (the back story) to give me an idea that you guys know more about dialects down under than me. Cool.

Russel Crowe vs. Christophe Waltz: RC movies are incredible and he is an incredible actor. I can watch Master and Commander over and over...I love that movie! However, as a man I think he has some anger management issues. Don't know why...he has international fame, fortune, respect, love and yet he is still a jerkawitz in common situations a-la the latest one with Quantas Airlines. C'mon man! Christophe Waltz performance in Inglorious Bastards startled me. His range, not only in language, but in emotion ran the scale back and forth, up and down, like I have never seen an actor do before. He almost "out acted" himself, whereby his next role would never supersede his performance of the latter.

Accents: I took a class at UT Austin called "The History of World Languages". The professor was okay, but the subject matter was outstanding. The one thing I got out of that class was that languages are becoming extinct and one of the things that professor did for research was travel the world and record languages. We listened to hours and hours of tapes of languages from all over the world and ended the class with a study on regional accents and dialects of the english language. I got an "A" for United States accents and regional dialects because I was able to distinguish what accent was from where in the US. I had a advantage of course, by serving in the military with dudes from all over the US, you got a pretty good idea who was from West Virginia vs. Chicago. Anyway, when we studied english below the equator the one I had the hardest time with was Aussies, Kiwis, and Afrikaners. Imagine that.

So yeah Brett, cut me some slack.

John "who has it on good authority he is wrong and apologized to Brett for ruining his Star Wars movie Experience" from Texas.

PS: Since I am home bound with a broken back I am watching tons of documentaries. Anyway, one DOC (The Search for Michael Rockefeller) led me to the story of trekker Christy King and the terrible events that happened in Papua New Guinea. Wow what a horrible story. I cannot believe that story did not make it to prime time news in the US!

I'm loving this thread........keep it rolling fella's.

Oh and for the record, Russel Crowe was born in good old NZ and an ex-pat now living in OZ, but please don't hold that against him.:salute::

 

[hotel3alpha]

What about almost the entire film: A Clockworl Orange?

Scott

Scott,

I did not forget about you:

A Clockwork Orange

The "Singing in the Rain" assault scene. It is horrible to watch. It is intense, violent, sick, scary, weird and grotesque. Apparently, the scene was "not working" according to Malcolm McDowell, so Kubrick asked him to sing a song while he was beating the couple and "Singing in the Rain" was the only song that popped in his mind. It worked, and Kubrick loved it and subsequently paid for the rights to use it in the movie and the rest is cinema history.



FireFox

I know I am reaching back here, but do you guys remember a Clint Eastwood Flick by that name? I do as I saw it in theaters for $2 as a kid...twice. Well, besides the cool plane sequence, there was one particular scene that was extremely intense, stressful and well played. It is when Clint's character is in the shower and is having a PTSD/Panic Attack prior to him suiting up as the fake Russian pilot. Then one of the soldiers comes to check on him and he has to pass as the real pilot by actually talking to him in Russian. It is in intense and I held my breath the entire scene...then and now.

Desert,

I knew it! That is why he is so angry in life!!!! He is a poseur posing as an big bad Aussie who is really a Kiwi. He's not proud of his homeland like you and Brett and Jermaine. No, he's not proud like you and Cliff Curtis and Rhys Darby. NO, he's not proud to call NZ home like you and Temeura Morrison, Lucy Lawless or Anna Paquin. Noooooo, he gotta sling that Road Warrior crap like that other guy Mel Gibson and claim OZ. For shame on him. May Peter Jackson never hire him.

Cheers John thats funny........in fairness RC has lived most of his adult life in OZ now, but pop's over the ditch from time to time to visit family. As for our best mate Peter Jackson, I'd be more than happy if hiring RC meant his remake of the 'Dambusters' happened sooner rather than later.^&grin

John,

OK I might have exaggerated the mental anguish caused a little bit !

However as far as apologies go that has got to rate as one of the best ever :salute::

It is so good I think you might make Time magazines list of top apologies which currently stands at :

Kanye West
Bill Clinton
Tiger Woods
California
Robert McNamara
Plato
John Mayer (for the N word)
Emperor Henry IV
Mel Gibson
Mark Sanford

see here for more info on their apologies
http://content.time.com/time/specials/packages/completelist/0,29569,1913028,00.html

I understand Lance Armstrong is appealing that list and seeking a review as he he thinks he should be No 1. Tiger Woods is actually quite pleased that you might bump him off the list.{sm4}

It is so good that if I ever come to San Antonio I will not say "you owe me a fajita".

Come on, John. Every one knows a Texas Ranger doesn't use any fly-swattin' 9mm. A Ranger uses a Colt Peacemaker in .45LC caliber. He only needs 6 shots. In a real pinch, a Colt M1911A1 will do. Bigger holes stops them quicker and deader.:wink2: -- Al

 

[Poppo]

I saw this last night and my advice is go see another movie or those will be three hours you will never get back. The best thing one can say it's a typical Tarantino movie, starring Samuel L Jackson as a bounty hunter. It's Tarantino's paean to Westerns and involves a lot of discussion about race relations. It starts in typical Western fashion with a stagecoach and Jackson and others showing up at a snowy restaurant where other desperadoes are already there. There is a standoff between Jackson and a Southern general. This is where it gets talky, etc. and then in typical Tarantino fashion the body counts builds.

Compared to Django, Inglorious Bastards or Kill Bill, a decidedly inferior effort. The gore and the race relations just don't mesh.

Lots of use of the "n" word.

A typical Tarantino movie or did I say that already?

The word "history" in Tarantino' s films can not be mentioned. It is a pornography of history he makes: I hardly watched till the end " inglorious bastards" where Hitler is killed in a parisian cinema! " Django", I couldn' t even reach the end as it is a dirty, ridiculous, boring movie. " The hateful 8", well, apart from yet another caricature disgustingly vulgar against the south, the rest of the movie is not bad in my opinion. Many talkings as usual, and the end was very interesting.

John, no offence meant about the 9mm. I have owned and liked the Beretta. Currently, I only still have my father's WW2 M1911A1 and a Colt Detective Special in .38, both for home defense only. I much prefer the M1911A1 but the DS is much more compact, if needed.:wink2: -- Al
