I don't get it, what is his accent supposed to be?


I just started watching this show, and the pope is American, yes? Well, very often his accent sounds foreign, like he is Italian or something.

Are you just hard of hearing or completely deaf?

reply

Or perhaps my hearing is very good if I hear something you don't - did you think of that possibility?

Anyway, nice social skills there. You must be an absolute winner at life.

reply

OK, give us examples (specific please) of any of his spoken words that sound "foreign". And be clear with the sounds of the syllables. For example, many British speakers use a glottal stop, so that "butter" becomes "bu'er". Or are you claiming something even more bizarre that he sounds as if his first language is Italian, or German, or French, or Spanish? That should be even easier to explain. And please restrict your comments to Jude Law's speech pattern. Obviously many of those around him speak with non-American accents. If you can convince the rest of us that you actually know what you're talking about, then maybe we'll believe that you are a "winner in life."

reply

I don't have to convince you of anything. It has been my impression, actually, throughout his career that Jude Law cannot do a convincing American accent. I thought I heard something here - whether others hear it too is of really no consequence to me.

Besides, you are just too hostile to be of any significance.

reply

Just as I suspected. When we get down to the nitty-gritty of defending what a blowhard like you says, you hide behind the worthless "I don't have to" defense. Wow, what a "winner at life". LMAO!

reply

You seem to comprehend very little about how things work in general. I mean, it couldn't possibly be any more obvious that only a complete loser would actually start trying to PROVE anything in this situation, to another socially inept loser on the internet.

But anyways, I am gone, toodle-oo.

reply

I heartily agree that anyone like you is a "complete loser".

reply

See? What did I say? Poor comprehension in general.

reply

Checklist for "poor comprehension":
1. Makes a statement about an accent without any basis: CHECK
2. When asked to provide evidence, says "I don't have to": CHECK
3. Repeats assertion about an accent, but again without any basis: CHECK
4. Says "I thought I heard something here", but is at a complete loss to explain what was heard: CHECK
5. When asked again for evidence, states "only a complete loser would actually start trying to PROVE anything in this situation", thereby confirming that he is a loser at backing up anything he says: CHECK

What we have here is ... failure to comprehend.

reply

Gosh you are pathetic. And have a bit too much time on your hands.

What you fail to realize is just how little anyone would care about impressing/ appeasing / ingratiating themselves with someone like you - your opinion simply can't mean much to anyone remotely capable of critical thought.

Someone who thinks and writes the way you do can't possibly be successful, or even just a marginally productive member of society.



reply

Ha! Someone who takes two years to respond and can't think of a single example of a character's accent sounding Italian is telling me I'm not successful. LMAO!

reply

Right, because you are such a high priority on my list. I haven't been to this board until the new season started.


reply

Two years and counting . . . still no examples requested two years ago. It's sad.

reply

What's truly sad is that you don't even see how pathetic your insistence is.

Anyway, over and out.

You guys need to calm down there.

reply

Lol, I wasn't ever fired up.

Did you watch the show?

What did you think of his accent?


reply

TheOtherFella, maybe you can convince exatera to give an example of an Italian accent by Jude Law in the show. He desperately needs some support here.

reply

I don't think his way of speaking sounds like an Italian from Italy, more like an Italian-American from Brooklyn or some place like that.
