Things you're tired of seeing in movies

[mattycsi]

Well, its wrong and it sounds stupid, I suggest everyone adopts the British pronunciation immediately!

If it rhymes with 'caught' (which I've heard pronounced at least 4 different ways depending on where in America the accent is from) then I'm assuming it's deliberate so it's more mild: kinda like how some UK folks say 'ass' and '****e'. After all, some consider tw@t to be vulgar and in reference to female genitalia.

But that's exactly what it is. It's like, if people were to start pronouncing see you next Tuesday like, "coont".

If you're going to call someone a tw@t, do it properly.

If you're going for the more humorous British insults then I think you get more comedic bang out of '******'

We should really take the place back and learn them to talk proper like what I do.

Dunno how many times I've used the phrase "Guess I'm gonna have to learn you better" or similar (intentionally, for comedic effect) and had people scoff and try to correct me.

 

[Laspector]

It rhymes with "hot". I've never heard it sound any other way.

Tired of seeing:

- Gun shooting acrobatics
- People typing rapidly on keyboards and obviously just hitting random keys
- Samuel L Jackson
- Miracle computer hackers who save the day
- Inception bass sound

I already spent a year in Black Country. For the longest time I couldn't understand a damn word anyone was saying.

Too late. American missiles are already en route.

 

[BATIMAN]

Before this gets crazy guys , I have stayed all over the world and of course we all have different accents , I stay in the south and wow these country folk are difficult to understand . But I like the fact we are different and speak In different "twangs" (google that lol) a lot of British words make a lot of sense as do a lot of Americanized words ... when it comes to movies they just have to stop having Americans playing British and British playing Americans , there is enough quality out there to stop this nonsense.. and being a glaswegian in the USA no one understands sh@t I say lol, can be an advantage sometimes lol... we are allies after all

cops chase the bad guy. the bad guy has a pretty clear path and still has to push alot of people aside. why? just so he slows himself down?

unbreakable cars. well cars cannot jump 100 feet and look like new after that.

 

[glunark]

It rhymes with cat, appropriately enough,

They pronounced it just fine in blazing saddles.

I'm a displaced Souser. Much easier to understand as we use actual english words!

Being a Weegie anywhere outside of Glasgow, no one understands a word you say!

Objects with obviously deficient strength to do the job at task, but movie magic makes it ok? For example... pulling Indy out of quicksand to his neck, with a snake... Now, I'm no expert in the elasticity of serpents, but...

I once had the misfortune of working with a UK unit in a field exercise, in regard to their terrible food and the fact nobody could understand anyone else. Most of my soldiers were from the Southern states and most of the Brit soldiers were from the North and Scotland. Being from the southern US, I could speak/understand that and being somewhat cultured could understand most of what the UK soldiers said. So, I wound up being pulled off my observer status for the exercise and mostly used as an interpreter between the NCOs and officers of both sides.
That said, there were plenty of times when vernacular was used by the Commonwealth troops that I had say, "I'm sorry, I couldn't understand, what do say?"
I'll never forget the UK Major who said in front of my troops, "Soddin' 'ell, Leftenant, 'ow else do oi say it?" All my Battalion NCOs were looking at each other and I'm sure I heard one mumble, "Uh, he is speaking English, isn't he?"
Another said, "Man, I feel sorry for the Eltee, he had an easier time with that German outfit we dealt with last summer!"
It's true, I did.
