Wow, glad to see other people noticing Bob's Bah-sten accent. I noticed that it wasn't constant, either. Does he normally try to tone it down, which is why it was a lot more obvious this time?
Seems like Bob's been munching off the Plinkett jokes.ace_of_something said:The 'lens flare' thing made me laugh a lot harder than it had any right to.
You gotta admit though, it's more clever than the more obvious choice of USA as the rich swanky superpower, and some country the U.S. is at war with being the poor worker's colony.Magmarock said:Wow, as someone who lives in Australia as soon as you said that the movie portrays the Australian region as being poor and the Britain one as being rich, I was like "Mother Fuckers"
No I don't think it's clever at all. I don't think anything about remaking a classic Schwarzenegger movie is clever at all. The idea that someone has made a story where Australia is poor and dirty and where the UK is reach and clean just shows that some American guy spent two minutes reading up on Australia history and thinks he?s been clever about it. It?s so god damn offensive that it isn?t even funny.minuialear said:You gotta admit though, it's more clever than the more obvious choice of USA as the rich swanky superpower, and some country the U.S. is at war with being the poor worker's colony.Magmarock said:Wow, as someone who lives in Australia as soon as you said that the movie portrays the Australian region as being poor and the Britain one as being rich, I was like "Mother Fuckers"
I didn't say it was clever in general, nor did I say the idea of a remake in general is clever. Just that it's more clever than doing the typical "USA wins and is better than everyone else" cliche.Magmarock said:No I don't think it's clever at all.

Yeah I probably am over reacting. I'm not angry at you at all, I just can't believe they remade this. I mean what's next Robo cop Conan (oh wait they did that) Hollywood is really pissing me off.minuialear said:I didn't say it was clever in general, nor did I say the idea of a remake in general is clever.

I'll also say I think you're completely over-reacting to the conceit by being "so god dam offen[ded]" by it, considering it's not like they spend the entire movie (or any part of the movie, for that matter) talking about how great UK/UK imperialism is. Did you get this worked up about District 11 in Hunger Games?
Heh, I dident notice until now. Youre right though. I guess that is why it reminded me so much of "in time".Scrustle said:Bob's accent was coming through a bit in this one, especially when he said Schwarzenegger.
One thing I've noticed about this movie from the trailers and stuff is that it seems to think that in the future 90% of the human race is 25 years old. That really puts me off for some reason.
He tried one without toning it down and every comment was about his accent, just like now. So he started to tone it down again, I guess the internet is not ready. BTW is it not called a dialect?frizzlebyte said:Wow, glad to see other people noticing Bob's Bah-sten accent. I noticed that it wasn't constant, either.
