I could have sworn Mr. Sutherlands accent went from American old dude to Irish old dude. Off and on, I wish Actors would just stick with one accent thru-out the entire movie :} I still love ANYTHING with Donald Sutherland in it. Also, love those Tats on Nico, he's a hunk!

I hate it that the only time I get to myself is when everyone finally goes off to bed. Bad movies are the price I pay.

Mine are Cabin Fever (Ugh!), King Arthur, Salton Sea on DVD. I have this compulsion to buy a DVD every week. The Bad ones denfinately outway the Good ones.

I think this might be slightly better than 'Ghost Ship' but only slightly as it has JLC in it. I think Sutherland's change has enhanced his qualities LOL! What State are you watching from? Texas here.

I am atually enjoying a Baldwin movie! Is this the one who's married to China Phillips? I think these special effects are pretty scary, but effectual. Oh man the Russian lady just died. Of course JLC & Baldwin will be the only survivors.

Well the Human Stain is coming up and I will not be able to see that one. As I am changing the channel! LOL! I like Tracy Ullman she's on till 2:00CT or there's the Falcon & the Snowman. I think,though, that I'll try to watch Hellraiser for a while as the children are asleep & I cannot watch it if they are around. They wouldn't let me!

Saw is definately a keeper. I like most scary movies with the exception of Friday 13th's, Deep Water? anything that has a person floating in the Ocean & their legs hanging down. OH! that terrifies me!! Well, enjoy Saw. Yeah our Astros are doing great, but our Cowboys are really suckin' today. Post ya later.

It's on bbc one in the UK tonight, it's somewhat... interesting! I usually like sutherland, but god damn his accent is pissing me off. The plot is entirely guessable. which is funny.

Are we sure that accent was meant to be Irish? I thought it was meant to be an increadibly bad Scottish, or Possibly New England accent. Why didn't he just stick to saying "Yarrrrr!" or "Avast!" or other suitable nautical things?
Do you think he was doing an Ahab? Like George Cluney in 'Perfect Storm?'

Yeah, I thought it was supposed to be Irish. He kept saying "bloody hell" which is not really an American phrase.
It was crap, watched it last night on BBC1 truly a terrible movie. and why on earth did it have an 18 certificate?
Milk was a bad choice!
I noticed that. His accent did flip-flop a couple of times.

I must watch The Shipping News some time.
(Didn't think this movie was that bad, but being drunk as a lord might have helped.)
Things either exist or they don't. I am very clear about that. I have medicine.
I am watching Virus now just because someone on imdb said it is "impressively, abysmally bad" and it is but still better than the trash on Bottom 100. You must check that stuff out!
Oh, by the way, DS's accent goes from American to fake British to fake Irish.
And the Shipping News is really good, esp. the first time you watch it!
I just saw Virus today, and there's a scene where the Donald Sutherland character is sitting in his quarters and there's a Union Jack on his wall, so I'm assuming the character is from somewhere in the British Isles.
As for his accent constantly going back and forth, it's realistic when you consider that he's a sailor who's probably been in constant transit for the last several decades of his life. When an English speaker moves around that much, his accent can pretty quickly evolve into a muddled 'mid-Atlantic' accent.
He sounded to these seasoned ears as if he was channeling Orson Welles in "Lady from Shanghai".
Reference is inscrutable because there is nothing to scrute.

He looks great on camera. Too bad he has to open his mouth!
