typical Jackson film then lol

Wishcraft with :heart: Meat Loaf :heart:

Watching this at three in the morning is not advisable... It scared the living daylights out of me, thus making me not wanting to go to sleep :shock: !!!

A bunch of old Russian children's movies I watched as a child...

well, in that case you should be lucky you havent watched Pelts at three in the morning

Hannibal Rising and it wasn't good :shock:

It generally wasn't worthy of being connected to the Anthony Hopkins trilogy but what I found really confusing was the acting. The film opens during World War 2 so there's British, German, Russian and French characters, but the actors have (in my opinion) done such a crap job with the accents that it's impossible to a)understand the speech and b)follow who's who

is it still worth watching though?
Thought about renting it, but so many people say it's bad and I dont want to watch it just because its a Hannibal movie.

From what I remember of one of the books, he is supposed to be somewhere from Latvia or something...at least that's what I thought...but accents besides British probably sounded all the same...

General guildelines:

1. If it's HARD rolling "R" - it's Russian
2. "R" isn't pronounced right at all...could go either way...German or French...

The French, the Russians and the Germans in the film all had British accents, the one Japanese woman had an American accent. And I'm sure the Wolves were howling in Welsh!!

luckily enough sean has never been accused of that

It was just awful, they either needed to get actors of the appropriate nationalities or not bother, you could pick up a good three accents per sentence throughout

Even if Russian accents sounds right in some movies...Russian parts for some reason are played by Pollacks and the accent is quite different...and when Pollacks speak Russian I roll on the floor laughing while everybody else is impressed with the authenticity of the language...

The best Russian by foreign actor?

Believe it or not...the prize goes to Matt Damon...

I like it how only "R" for some reason figures in this or that accent...as if it was the only letter in the alphabet...and I LOVE Russian hard rolling "RRRRRRRRRRRRR"...since I myself can hardly even pronounce it...

you think THAT's funny?
Everytime a German appears in a movie (and they have understanding problems), in the German synchronisation they're sudenly either Dutch or Danish.
And if somebody 'pretends' to talk German its mostly some gibberish with a fake accent, or it sounds like the text was translated with google translation. lol

More or less the same with Russian...can't figure it out...I am sure at least in America we have plenty of both Russian and German wannabe actors for those small parts...

yes, plenty of germans with small parts lol :twisted:

I just LITERALLY :oops:

it even happens with big hollywood movies.
You should think if a Spielbirg film has a budget of how many million $ they should have enough money to hire someone to do a proper translation. lol

The thought occured to me too...LA area is full of all nationalities actors...

:heart::heart:Outside Ozona - Meat Loaf :heart:

I saw this the first time last night and I love this film, Meat's great in it :cool:.
Might have to rewatch it later :heart:.

a recent movie where they did a really good job was the da vinci code.
Hired actors of the different nationalities, and half the movie they spoke in their native language, with subtitles.
Even if that makes it a littler harder to follow the storyline, at least the movie's credible this way.

Don't even start me on books...:roll:

In Robert Ludlum's (Bourne whatever) Matarese Circle, one of the main characters (male) is called Krupskaya...

1. It's a female name
2. The name doesn't exist
3. It was made specifically to be a pseudonim for Lenin's wife
4. She was the only one who actully ever had that name and it wasn't her own anyway...

If they bothered to stop one Russian on the street and ask them their opinion about using this last name...they would have received the same answer as above...i.e. do NOT use it...especially for a male...

Shall we dance?

I can only do the hop at the mo lol

Yeah, well...you need arms for balance...so...how about some slow sultry crawl??? :lmao:
