I’ve always believed that if you can’t make it good, make it 3d.
And at Jonah Hex, anyone from the south would blow their brains out before having to listen to Megan Fox absolutely butcher a southern accent.
I get it, she is incrdeibly hot,but that does not excuse her acting.[/quote]
Not a defense of Megan Fox, but Hollywood’s “southern accent” is limited to solely a farcical Georgia antebellum accent. Every Jezebel ever cast seems required to use it, and it’s excruciating no matter who uses it. Julia Roberts’ accent in “Charlie Wilson’s War” was particularly grating. [/quote]
Surprisingly, Anna Paquin is the only one I’ve heard who can do one right without being irritating in Tru Blood.
Beyonce is pretty close to what women in Taxas often sound like aside from more rural areas.[/quote]
True enough. Though I swear at the end of season 2 Anna Paquin and Anna Camp (the Preacher’s Wife) were competing to see who could out “accent” the other. Otherwise her accent is low key enough to not be distracting. The accents are fine as long they aren’t over embellished.
What cracks me up is that most of the white folk out of New Orleans speak more like Yanks than southerners, but that never makes it into the show. They out coonassed the coonasses with the Rene character in season 1. The only folks I’ve ever heard speak like that were 50+ years old and never been north of I-10.
No slights meant against True Blood. Just funny how HBO interprets the dialects in an area I’ve been living, or maybe I’ve just gotten so used to it that it sounds normal to me.[/quote]
I let Rene slide since he turned out to be fake as part of the plot, but that shit irked me as well most of the season. I don’t know anyone his age who speaks like that in that area. It was the single most irritating factor of that whole show.
The other is Anna’s best friend on the show. I don’t where the black girl is from, but her southern accent is way the fuck off.
