We all know that there are many different accents in the UK. I can recognise some local accents, such as Liverpool and Yorkshire. I understand that accents vary from geographical areas to generations. People can tell that someone is well-educated by the way one speaks (terminology). Yet, much more than that, it seems to me that most British can instantly tell someone's social background when they hear s/he speaks. Why is that? One time I met two people who have different accents, but my friend said they both went to public schools (well I'm aware that going to public schools doesn't necessary mean one is from upper class...http://www.englishforums.com/English/Are/jkbrv/post.htmMon, 29 Jun 2009 17:04:42 GMT946f00bb-57d3-4b7b-a9a2-059b5341af52:801112learnenglishidiomsAre you keen to learn many english idioms with a large smiling Face ?Just watch This one.Regards.http://www.englishforums.com/English/DoFaceThunder/jjmzh/post.htmSun, 28 Jun 2009 15:41:04 GMT946f00bb-57d3-4b7b-a9a2-059b5341af52:799466learnenglishidiomshttp://www.englishforums.com/English/DareToBeUgly/2/lbbxx/Post.htm#925206Sun, 21 Jun 2009 02:55:15 GMT946f00bb-57d3-4b7b-a9a2-059b5341af52:925206betterduckWhat do you say?

Even in the trailer, Cruise's ... he's surrounded by great English Actors so let's give him a pass. No. I don't see it doing well. NMS I dunno, they might add a 15-minute scene at the end where Hitler *** von Stauffenberg in the ass, directed by Vincent Gallo. That'd turn a few people out.http://www.englishforums.com/English/ScientologistsFightHitler/jxdml/post.htm#821603Wed, 14 May 2008 20:41:55 GMT946f00bb-57d3-4b7b-a9a2-059b5341af52:821603mcI think that this is shaping up to be a ahem big bomb. Even in the trailer, Cruise's ... but he's surrounded by great English Actors so let's give him a pass. No. I don't see it doing well. He completely lacks the gravitas the part requires. Utterly lightweight. The guy who *should* have played the part, Sebastian Koch, in fact already has... in German. No word on whether he speaks (or acts in) English: http://www.imdb.com/media/rm1832884224/nm0462407 He has all the attributes needed.http://www.englishforums.com/English/ScientologistsFightHitler/jxdml/post.htm#821587Wed, 14 May 2008 20:24:25 GMT946f00bb-57d3-4b7b-a9a2-059b5341af52:821587steven j. wellerI think that this is shaping up to be a ahem big bomb. Even in the trailer, Cruise's ... he's surrounded by great English Actors so let's give him a pass. No. I don't see it doing well. NMS Last I heard it's been delayed - again. Apparently, among other things, Cruise's accent is emabarassingly on-again off-again, so I suppose they're doing a lot of ADR with a dialogue coach riding shotgun, which only rarely results in a wonderfully nuanced performance.

Even in the trailer, Cruise's performance comes across as unpersuasive, plus it's a very difficult story to find a real handle on. We know that the conspiracy fails. Everyone's caught. Everyone gets killed. The progress of the war isn't ultimately affected by it. So in the shadow of that knowledge what do you hang your hat on as you watch this thing? At best it comes down to some people who take a stand against evil and then they get killed but at least they did the right thing. The End. Plus Tom Cruise's performance wasn't great but he's surrounded by great English Actors so let's give him a pass. No. I don't see it doing well.

Tango. Jesus. I love a good song n dance thing. "Try A Little Tenderness" in the Commitments. When they hit that midpoint and all the musicians kick in behind Andrew Strong, it's actually better than Otis Redding. Here it is: God, I love that movie... Oh, and let's not forget this... "My Sweet Lord" by Billy Preston in "Concert For George" Billy Preston can do no wrong. And this is sublime especially if you play it loud, through a surround sound system.

You ALWAYS come up with the most interesting English musicians! The young Long John Baldry with Rod Stewart blew my mind! I have almost reached the age where instead of dreading birthdays I am counting them down until I can retire and get benefits and ROCK AND ROLL! OW, I hurt my back! (limping). I'm trying to figure out how to become a cottage industry. Anyway, thank you for remembering my birthday. How in the world did you remembe?....
