@lordbeefjerky: I had the same thoughts, as I was getting towards the end of the list, I was starting to wonder if Terminator 2 was going to make the list.

@olddadgamer: It's the thespianism within all of us, that makes us so good at accents. I really can't help now but wonder how good Dr. Strangelove, would have been had Peter Sellers played Jack D. Ripper, with his Texan accent, as originally planned. Damn his sprained ankle!

@olddadgamer: I'm from England. My granddad was Irish, and there is definitely a big difference between Irish and Scottish accents. Get either of them angry and you won't be able to understand either. Irish feels far more aggressive, for a lack of a better term. Even within England we have distinct accents, if you heard me as a southern talk and then heard Jimmy Nail who's from Newcastle (up north), and you'll hear a gigantic difference. I can't even understand Jimmy Nail when he really gets going. It's the same with Irish accents, my dad when he was a kid, went and visited relatives in Ireland, and neither sides could understand a word the other said.

@olddadgamer: Or Sean Connery as a Irish cop, who again sounds awfully Scottish.

@iamtfc: I must be old too, because I've seen it. Kirk Douglas is absolutely incredible in that film. Anyone who hasn't seen it, it's essentially a live action version of Road Runner, with Arnold as Road Runner, and Kirk Douglas as Wile E. Coyote. Some great ridiculous gags in that film.

Seems to me all they really kept from God Particle was the accelerator going wrong, the earth disappearing (not sure how it ends in this, but in God Particle dear God is it awful and clichéd), and one dimensional characters.

@frosty988: I've always hate the 'did you notice how these movies keep making a billion dollars?' argument. Just because a film makes a billion dollars doesn't mean people liked the film. To be able to judge the film, doesn't a person have to see the film first? Which means whether you liked it or not, you still put money towards that billion dollars. The film also looks as if it's going to fall 200 million short of what was predicted to be it's box office haul (although I think they over estimated, it predicted 1.3 to 1.4 billion about a week or two in). This alone shows that less people went to see the film multiple times, as was expected.

I wonder if Tom Hanks will go full on method actor for this role, and become a certified marine sniper.

@cornbredx: Which is why I said even if you take the complete episode total. They announced it will be a 7 episode series, the same as season 1 which equals a total 5.6 million. She got paid 5 million for Out of Africa in the 1985, in todays money that would be 11.3 million.
