Multi-accents can be amusing

Greetings, readers!

I was randomly re-watching various things with European actors. For a few instances, the actors are supposedly Americans, and thus need to (try to) adjust their natural accents.

I always find it amusing when that happens, as they do not entirely succeed.

For example, the trailer for “Gracepoint” (which is a remake of the BBC show “Broadchurch”) includes David Tennant doing a reasonably admirable job of an American accent. However, you can still catch some of his native accent throughout. (He does not come into the trailer until about a minute in. Minute 3 is one of the more noticeable points.)

That was one of the subtler times.

There is also a 2-part episode of Doctor Who that features a British actor somewhat trying to sound American. The episode is “The Impossible Astronaut.” The actor is Mark Sheppard. The character is former FBI agent Canton Delaware III.

Once more, the actor does an admirable job of impersonating an American accent. However, there are quite a number of times that his native London accent show through.

I find it amusing.

Have a lovely Sunday!

You need more TV Tropes in your Life

Hiya, Fluffsters!

So, I was recently talking with someone who actually looks at this blog, but who didn’t know what TV Tropes was. So, I’ve clearly not been doing a good enough job of reminding you all that TVtropes is a website that exists, that is a fantastic procrastination device.

Hidden in this gem of a website are all the aspects that go into a story… and explanations of what all the aspects are.

You’ve got the Hero, you’ve got the Big Bad (villain), you’ve got descriptions of the weapon choices

And the titles and commentary are frequently quite funny.

So, happy Friday! Enjoy the weekend, and go spend some time with TV Tropes!

Adorable start to a week — BATS!

Hiya, Fluffsters!

The runner-director-person of Epbot shared an absolutely adorable video on the official facebook page, just for fun. And the video is totally worth watching. So, enjoy!

And happy Monday. To those of you starting classes today, good luck!

Hello Cthulhu is back!

Hiya, Fluffsters!

So, are you aware of Cthulhu?

Well, about ten years ago, someone created a webcomic that combines that Eldritch Horror with Hello Kitty.

Then, a few years ago, it got overtaken by spam bots or something. It was quite sad.

But I’m happy to inform you that it’s now back up, and Cthulhu, the supposed god who turns people insane and stuff, is now back to being adorable-ized.

So, enjoy Hello Cthulhu! (And have a lovely Sunday.)
