Let's all be mates! No need for a barney.*

Sep 14, 2008 19:00

Just finished watching The Plague Dogs on YouTube. Damn you, movie, for ending the movie there! Where's my happy ending?!? The movie is lovely, very quiet and slow, with lots of "nature shots" with the other half of the plot being recounted as a voice-over conversation between people. The repeated shots of the social-deprivation monkey hurt as ( Read more... )

OMG that's so weird, I re-watched The Plague Dogs just the other day! (found a second hand copy for £2 so I had to have it) And LOL, I never thought of looking up accents on Wiki XD I've just spent a while reading the entry for Yorkshire, and it had never occurred to me before just how much we must confuse non-Yorkshire folk with "We'll stop here while it closes," (that means "we'll stay here until closing time", not 'lets stop while things are closed around us')

:D Great minds watch films alike! I only just discovered that there was a film the other day - having read the book* some years ago. Reading the fox was so hard.

Tee hee! "While it closes"! You're English is funny ♥ *YouTubes Yorkshire accent* *re-wires mental image of Mac a tad* D'aw :)

* Another of those "rescued from the library's throwaway pile" books.

PS: What'cha think of Plague Dogs anyhow?

I don't think I've ever read the book of that one, I read Watership Down, and Tales of Watership Down, but not Plague Dogs. I like the movie though, except for the end, which makes me feel emo (though it's the end of Watership Down that makes me cry, and then Sam alternately torments and cuddles me for being such a wuss)

Aye, while it closes, makes perfect sense to me! As does ow', now', summa', berra, and all the rest of it (though I never knew 'laiking' was a Norse word - ah ye laikin'? is "do you want to play outside")

*You Tubes Yorkshire accent* Oh bugger. I'm going to have to do that podfic after all, if you're imagining me with a Sheffield accent, I can't have that! I suppose it could be worse though, could be Barnsley...
