Johnny Sorrow Posted October 3, 2014 Share Posted October 3, 2014 I remember when they redrew her legs as skinny white housewife legs but kept her "mammy" voice.I remember them dubbing in a stereotypical Irish voice for her. Cause that's an ok stereotype . Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
blitzkrieg Posted October 3, 2014 Share Posted October 3, 2014 I felt the show had problems from the get go when it cast a male model, drew a few scars on his face, then expected us buy him as "the beast" The most CW thing ever. "OK, so it's called Beauty and the Beast, but it's not like beast actually has to be ugly or anything." There really isn't anything wrong with that. People that got hung up on him not being that "beasty" weren't exactly the show's target demographic. The problem is that the successful formula of a CW show is "well written, self aware, and attractive people." The show doesn't do that good of a job of any of those. It probably would have been better off as a CBS show aimed more at a middle aged female demographic. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Travis Sheldon Posted October 3, 2014 Share Posted October 3, 2014 In case your wondering, yes Gracepoint is that bad. . . This show is in a no-win situation with all who saw Broadchurch. All my wife and I did was make fun of Tennant's accent and compare how much better the scenery and acting were from the original. Not that the show doesn't look good, it looks fantastic. But trying to play it off as a little coast town is a stretch for me. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
RandomAct Posted October 3, 2014 Share Posted October 3, 2014 With Tom and Jerry, I see to recall them dubbing in a more "neutral" black voice last time I saw it come on whatever channel was showing it. Probably the Hub or Boomerang or whatever. If I recall it was the same chick that does the Pine-Sol commercials. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Franka Potente was amazing on this season of The Bridge. But then again, I'm not sure what her accent was supposed to be. She's a German actress playing a...Mexican with a German name?

Elsalvajeloco Posted October 3, 2014 Share Posted October 3, 2014 On that note, I never would have guessed that the guy who played Falcone in Batman Begins was British. Tom Wilkinson and Brendan Gleeson have played American villians enough to the point where everyone forgets they aren't American. Same with Aiden Gillen.

So watching some new shows last night, in A to Z (which wants to be how I met your mother so bad it's painful), a side character had a british accent. So let me get this straight: side characters on that show and The Mindy Project get to keep their accents, but two people who are freaking dynamite have to change theirs? I know different networks and show runners, but still. . . . . Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Spritenaut 32 Posted October 3, 2014 Share Posted October 3, 2014 Yeah NBC cancelled Community to make room for shit sandwich like Bad Judge and A to Z why? Because Community had proven itself to be unfunny and was known to be watched by only a small set of people, whereas A to Z and Bad Judge could potentially be funny and/or attract an audience? TV really isn't a "devil you know" sorta business. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Hugh Dancy's American accent is terrific too, I was surprised to hear he was English. Karen Gillan's accent was OKish in Oculus....but in Selfie she's trying to a valley girl thing and it's a total disaster. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Elsalvajeloco Posted October 3, 2014 Share Posted October 3, 2014 It's never actors like Brian Cox that get me. It's obscure people like the chick (Melanie Lynskey) from Two and a Half Men, who I have to look up because it's something unique about how they talk. She does the high pitch whiny voice in everything though. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
