Stunningly good album ...

Pirates of The Caribbean - The Curse of The Black Pearl
you can stop with that one and not bother with the rest
I like the second and third films, they're mindless fun ... the fourth one leaves me cold, though ... I hope if they decide to make another one that they come up with a decent script (and cast!)

Funny thing is - I wondered about exactly the thing you mentioned while I was watching it, i.e. "surely no one who isn't English is going to udnerstand what these guys are saying"?
I watch a lot of James Bond movies so I'm used to hearing the very prim and proper British (London?) accent... therefore the "street kids" in "Attack the Block," between the accents and the slang they used, sounded like they came from an entirely different planet
Reminds me of years ago when I met John Gallagher of Raven - hell of a nice guy but his extremely thick Newcastle accent was a little hard to follow.
The receptionist at my job at the time was originally from London and she had the very prim-and-proper Brit accent, I mentioned to her that I'd just met this guy from Newcastle and couldn't help but notice how different his accent was from hers, and she sez "Oh yes, Newcastle accents even sound strange to ME."
Those northerners...
They sound much different than Londoners. Especially South London. Throw in a few scousers for a laugh.
My Grandad was from Newcastle ... when he met someone for the first time, he'd generally revert to a strong Newcastle accent just to confuse/annoy/upset them ... my Mum is Welsh and apparently still has an accent (although, obviously, I don't hear it) ... the 'London' accent has spread East ... Basildon is full of 'Londoners', innit?

I've seen "Attack the Block" - fun stuff.
The only problem for me was being a non-Brit, it took me a while to get a handle on the accents on the main characters. I swear it was a good fifteen minutes into the film before I understood a damn thing any of 'em said.
Doh! My message was aimed at Karpet, but for some reason I thought I was replying to you. Must be your inextricable link to the Movies thread;

I didn't have a problem with the accents, but I'm sure that's the reason they're making an American version.
When the TV sreries 'Taggart' was sold to American audiences, it had to be subtitled 'cause no-one could understand the Glaswegian accents I'm not sure it lasted too long across the pond ...

Great stuff .... can't fault Del Amitri
They're fantastic ... some of their lyrics are brilliant ... we saw them support Bryan Adams a good few years ago, and they blew him away

Ben Affleck? Really? What next - Matt Damon turning up as Robin? Jeez ...

I think he's got a great voice, and I love the stuff he did with The Faces .... shame he went through that awful patch in the 80s ...

That's okay, then ...
I'll take whatever perk I can get ... I'm a bit gutted to have missed Iron Maiden's 'plane when it made a stopover at Southend Airport, though ...
Banish him!
Oh, shut up, you tart! I don't think anyone knew it was coming in ... apart from ATC, obviouisly ...
