She’s already going to anger management to deal with her rage

Found video of @Wand3rlust meeting an ugly baby

My ex was an L&D nurse for years. This is a regular discussion among nurses. They have a term for it: UBS. Ugly Baby Syndrome.

Terrible British accent impressions

Oh, I have nothing to add to this converation.

Although, on the flip side, my wife made us watch "Abigail" a few weeks ago, and while I adore Dan Stevens, his American accent was absolutely horrible. Which is odd, because I think it's a lot more common for Americans to butcher British accents than for Brits to butcher American ones.

So…remember how in Saved by the Bell, they went to Bayside High and their rival was Valley High? I’m basically Bayside. I occasionally slip into surfer girl speak, especially when I’m very sleepy or excited. The work “like” creeps into my sentences way more than necessary, as does “totally,” which can also be a complete sentence in itself. Contrary to 80s stereotypes, no one has unironically used “gnarly” or “tubular” since 1988. NO ONE is immune from being called “dude.” Friends, romantic partners, children, pets, even my own mother.

Pro tip for non-Angelenos though: One thing that should never, EVER be done is call a beach person a valley girl. Especially if you value your life and/or dangly bits

The worst is when I send audios to people on here cause I'm talking to myself... Every sentence has a few "like" and "um"s. I say "dude" and "totally" regularly.

I don't think I've ever heard anyone in real life say tubular or gnarly.

It is my least favorite thing to be watching a British actor come on screen and our bland accent comes our of their mouth.

Ugh…like gag me with a spoon!

There are two in the greater LA area…the one they referenced (Glendale) was the other Galleria to me. I grew up near the South Bay Galleria We avoided the valley like the plague

The song is referencing the Sherman Oaks Galleria. Which was prominently displayed in Commando and was torn down and redeveloped in the 90’s.

When it's done well it's a delight. Kate Winslet nailing the eastern Pennsylvania accent in "Mare of Easttown" was superb. But I have no idea what accent Dan Stevens was going for. It was mush.

The worst thing for me was when the actor who plays Daredevil on the Netflix series made a cameo on She Hulk and slipped back into his British accent twice, even though his Daredevil character is supposed to be from Hell’s Kitchen, New York. It was so distracting and totally took me out of it. I mean…granted, the show was fucking terrible anyway and a consistent New Yorker accent wouldn’t have saved it, but still

Like, “like” is totally like my favorite word. And I have no shame about it. Gnarly is always used ironically and always said in a Spicoli voice.

 

[BrendaBear]

...and always said in a Spicoli voice.

Well, I think that is required. It's probably a law somewhere.

Kate Winslett could do any accent and I'd just be happy to see her on-screen.

I will have to check out Abigail. He did a good job on Legion

He is Irish irl I think... (nope. I was wrong)or he was on Boardwalk Empire. I need to watch She Hulk.

I enjoyed She Hulk: Attorney at Law, but I have been a fan of the comics for a long time.

Is that where the mini golf is? I try to not go north of UCLA if I can but I did go to the mini golf in Sherman oaks a few times.

But I do want a spin-off of Wong and Madisynn hanging out and watching TV in between bouts of saving reality.

This be me today. All the coffee.

British accents. Never heard a convincing one.

Ever? So the people in England are faking it?

 

[MrDevereaux]

Yes. It’s all for show. England is one big resort. Sort of like Truman Show.

One of my favorite lines from the novel Jurassic Park was one of the characters thinking that Paris was a theme park with very rude, angry employees.

Yeah it’s just across the 101 from the Castle. It’s not very exciting.

I suppose that depends on how you play.

Nah, mini golf rules. I meant the mall. Vacant office space and some chain restaurants and a movie theater and gym are a far cry from its heyday
