Stop gaslighting great movies because of political agendas :bouncegiggle:

Showgirls (1995) - the entire movie was cringy, but I still love it.
Is it October yet?

No gaslighting. 😎

I was born in what was then Rhodesia. That accent of Leo's is from elsewhere, not from present day Zimbabwe.

If you hear me speak you'll think I was from somewhere in England.

Regarding SHOWGIRLS, I am surprised the apartheid censor board didn't get up in arms over it but they were on their way out already.

Top Gun. Every time a pilot introduces themselves by their callsign. That's like someone introducing themselves by their gamer tag.
Hail to thyself
For I am my own master
I am my own god
I require no shepherd
For I am no sheep.

So, Leo was nominated for his role in Blood Diamond multiple times, including an Oscar-nomination. Mostly positive reviews by critics, lots of praise for DiCaprio. You obviously have seen the film. Do you dislike it because of the accent or did you still enjoy it?

The rest of the movie was good, the director Edward Zwick praised the South African crew and said "they will go far in this business". It was just that accent which threw me off as no one, from my era in my birth country at least, speaks the way Leo does.

zombie no.one

not seen any of the TRANSFORMERS movies but I swear I saw a clip from one, and there's a transformer that talks in a yorkshire accent... experienced a very unusual cringe at that.
