  1. I don't know man. Maybe you are a multilingual person, and maybe if meet enough people and converse with them, we can tell the difference. However, if I talked to you, I would know probably know what country you are from, but not which part. The majority of people are not gonna notice a difference the 1st time around. As far as Spanish goes, I said what I had to say about that. I don't speak the language, so I really don't pay much attention to the accent. After all, we ain't be able to understand each other anyway, right? It's all good, mayn.
  2. Mentioning smurfs, dragons eating American tourists, and King Arthur. Really, who's the idiot with the THICK HEAD HERE?! However, thanks for making my point for me. Since you are British, it is easy for you to differentiate between the accents in England. Us outsiders are not gonna notice those differences, so they are all gonna sound fairly similar. Like I said, come to the West Coast and differentiate between the accents from people in Seattle, San Francisco, Los Angeles, and San Diego. As for the Spanish accents, which I usually hear on a daily basis(I actually grew up in a big, multicultural city called Los Angeles, maybe you heard of it ), same thing. the majority of Spanish speaking people hear are from El Salvador or Mexico. However, I had a friend who was from Colombia, and when he spoke Spanish, besides his voice, I didn't hear much of a difference. I don't care which way you look at it. If it's your mother tounge, you can tell the difference. If its not, not so much. We may share a common language, but there is obviously a difference between American English and I guess, Original English. The slang can also point out what country or region you are from as well. Good luck with your arrogance, you definately got the accent to go along with it. I don't know with English accent it is, but I know it's English, and they all sound snooty. <_<
  3. I said this once before, but some people just don't get it, so I'll say it again: We don't HEAR A DIFFERENCE!!! As an American from California, I wouldn't notice the difference a Londoner spoke from a person from Manchester, or maybe even a person from Australia. Most Americans wouldn't. Plus, England is a much smaller country than say the U.S., so the accents are more similar to each other than U.S. accents, which were mostly formed by immigrants who settled in a certain area. Same goes for Spanish. We hear the language, and if we are in L.A., were gonna assume that they are Mexican. In New York, were gonna assume they are Puerto Rican or Dominica I challenge anybody who disagrees with me to come to the West Coast, and go to Seattle, San Francisco, and then come to the neck of the woods, L.A.. Go ahead to San Diego while you're at it. Tell us if you hear a distinct difference. And make sure you talk to a person who was born and raised in that area.

    NFL

    Fav-rah is not gonna retire or stay retired. Some team will lose their starting QB for the season and give him a call to come in and save them. Fav-rah will be playing in some capacity till at least his late 40s and I'm not trying to be funny when I say this. Kucf Favre, let's give it up for DEVIN HESTER!!! The guy set a NFL Record and tied another one. He ran back and scored 2 touchdowns in that Minnesota game, setting the record for the most touchdowns off returns combined, and tied another record for most punt return touchdowns. :dance: :hell yea!: Unfortunately, the fact that Favre got knocked out of the game, coupled with the fact that it is probably his last NFL game overshadowed that. <_< I get it in a way, but still . . .

    Dexter

    Dude, season finale was last Sunday. So no more new episodes till next year. Of course, I don't know where you rest your head at night, so the show might come on at a different time in your neck of the woods. If you missed any, go the Showtime on Demand, or you can probably download episodes from some website.

    Dexter

    Another great ending to ANOTHER GREAT SEASON!!! Every season has its twists and it turns, but this season I didn't see most of them coming. Not to mention they totally left it open this time. 1st season was connected to the 2nd season because of the conflict between Dexter and Doakes. It continued on in the 3rd because you knew Dexter was gonna go back to doing what he does, but it was cool to see that it actually looked like he had a friend who knew who he was and respected him. However, he also played by his own rules, so Dex had to put him down. He got married at the end of that season, so you knew the 4th season was gonna be Dexter: Husband-Father-Serial Killer We all know what happened to Rita, which leads us to this season. Since the 4th season was so good, I tried not to have too high hopes for this season, because I thought it was gonna be mostly Dexter dealing with the death of Rita. It did deal with that, plus the fact that the oldest daughter blamed him and didn't wanna live with him anymore. Losing your wife and most of your family: DRAMA. However, those writers knew what they were doing, adding great actors like Julia Stiles, Peter Weller, and Johnny Lee Miller into the mix. Quinn, who never Dexter at all, paid his old cop buddy to dig up dirt on Dexter. However, he soon feel in love with Debra, Dexter's sister, and tried to call his friend off, which he couldn't do. Kinda interesting how that wound up, with Dexter killing that guy(in self-defense)and the fact that he saved QUINN'S ASS!!! The Lumen character played by Stiles was great. I was wondering what she was gonna do after they killed all the men who raped her. What I didn't see coming was Dexter falling in WITH HER. I get it, though. He took her under his wing, thought her the tricks of the trade, she knew what he was, but didn't see him as a monster. That's why he was so sad to see her go. However, from the interview that Julia Stiles gave after the show, it seemed to leave open the possibility that she might come back. And the Jordan Case character, CLASSIC!!! Johnny Lee Miller might have some Golden Globes and a Emmy in his future. Maybe not the quite the adversary that the Trinity Killer was, but he was close. He figured out that Dexter and Lumen were partners, knew where Lumen was staying until Dexter moved her in with him. That, coupled with the fact that Debra was figuring it out, it was interesting to see who was gonna catch up to him first. Debra arrived too late, and see could have brought her brother and Lumen down, but with the fact that Case got what he deserved, she LET THEM GO!!! :shock: It was shocking to me because she said she would take down the Bay Harbor Butcher(who was Dex) if she got a shot at him, despite he was doing the same thing here, only this time he had a partner, and it was personal for her. At the end, it's all well and ends well, because Dexter completed his mission with Lumen, Debra is happy with Quinn, and Dexter got his family back. All in all, another great season, and looking forward to the next.

    NFL

    How the Bears a fraud team? They are much better than people thought they were. Let me guess: You dissing them because SHUT DOWN VICK, HUH?! Sure, they were destroyed last week by New England, but like you said, the NFC only have a few legitimate teams, but the bears are definitely one of them.
  8. Be prepared to wait a while, because these series usually don't start until next year comes around, and around the same time. Finale was good. Torrio was able to get Rothstein and Nucky make a deal, despite Rothstein tried to have him killed. However, if you know the history, you know who get theirs. I think you are a little confused, sunshine. Jimmy is down with Nucky, not against him. He's back to being Nucky's right hand now that he's back in Atlantic City. It's looks like Margaret is gonna stay with Nucky after finding out he lost his wife and kid. Plus, her kids like him, and need a father figure. Doyle saved his ass by ratting out the D'Alessio brothers. All in all, can't wait for next season.

    Anybody have this version of the VSFS in a torrent or sumthin. I rather not pay or wait forever to download this version.
  10. I might have to look at the show again, but from what I saw at first sight, NOT BAD. For one thing, before the show and the inbtween segments, they went back to focusing on the models. The fact that they interviewed many of the models, and not just focusing on the Angels, was a plus. The opening of the show is always good, as most of them are. Country Girls, while not my favorite, was not as bad as I thought it was gonna be. The clothes were actually pretty decent, and the song was not that annoying. They did tend to go a little overboard with the slow-motion in that segent, though. Game on was the BEST SEGMENT!!! The dancing gymnasts were, all the models were acting all spunky and sporty, and the girl carrying the weights(it was Isabel, right) really did a good job. The Wild Thing segment practically had me . The Pink segment was another highlight, especially when Katy Perry was singing "California Gurls" and all the girls from Cali(Chanel, Lily, Lindsay, among others) took their turns ON THE RUNWAY!!! Overall I thought the show was pretty good, much better than last year. I was good to see Karolina Kurkova back, as well as Adriana Lima. I did miss Abby Lee Kershaw and Doutzen, though. The music was good. I always liked Akon, and Katy Perry's style of pop music totally fits the show, especially when it came to the Pink Section. I thought the finale was especially good. Istead of the final walk thing, they just come onto the runway in a party mode, celebrated the end of the show and thanked the crowd for attending. Props to VS for a good show. I hoping one day they will do as good of a show as 2005, but that's probably one for the ages, never to be met or toped.

    Oh, COME ON!!! You seriously that they were gonna stop doing THAT?! :atoobie: It sucks, but I might be able to bear it if they don't overdo it. The part that has my worried is the country section. I hate that whiskey-tango REDNECK SHIT!!! <_< :x
  12. Heh, we can only hope. Let's see what they do in the inbetween segments. I like Akon. Not too much of a Katy Perry fan, but she has some songs that probably fit the show. They have seemed to fall off since 2005. And they always pick on one model. Makes me wonder why KK is back in the show. They picked on her 2 DIFFERENT TIMES!!! 2005, though they did pick on that one model, was probably their best show, Tyra's finale and all that. 2006 was bad, 2007 was worse, 2008 they kind of rebounded some, but 2009!!! UGH!!! :x :yuckky: It was actully looking good, they did kinda go overboard with the slo-mo, but it was cool when they did it to Isabeli Fontana, because they did it from head to toe, mostly focusing on that body. I always liked the Black Eyed Peas, and it was cool how some of the models interacted with them, especially Abby Lee Kershaw. They only showed one celebrity shot. It could have been their best show since 2005, but had to do that "MODEL SEARCH" THING. <_< I'm gonna be hopeful CBS gets it together, but I'll keep my expectations low so I won't to too disappointed is they mess it up(what they will most likely do).
  13. Margaret is maybe a little too smart for Nucky to handle. She now knows his level of corruption, and after finding out he had her husband killed, she can bring his WHOLE WORLD DOWN!!! Granted, her and her kids don't miss the abusive husband, but wouldn't be angry that someone you are in a relationship with had another person you had a relationship with KILLED?! Now she can go to that phycho FBI agent and bring Nucky down, and I don't think has it in him to kill her, or to have her killed. I am surprised how bold she became though. I guess I thought she was soft because her husband beat her. Didn't ya just love it when she slapped the SHIT OUT OF LUCY?! :blueeyedbaby: I also interested to see what's new for Jimmy. Looks like he knows he will never be one Torrio's boys on the account that's he Irish, and it appears Nucky wants and needs him back in AC with him. The agent did the right thing somewhat and sent most of the money Jimmy had sent to his wife. Now his wife will have to deal with Jimmy being back is her life, coupled with the fact that she is a lesbian, not to mention his mom is sleeping with Luciano. I love this show, and a lot is gonna come to a head in the next episode and the remaining ones this season.

    Dexter

    You were right Berno. Obviously she is more like Dexter than I thought. She is almost a female version of him. It looks like she actually saved Dexter's life in that last episode. And now it looks like they found everybody who raped and killed those girls, with her being the only survivor. My question is: after they kill everybody responsible, what's next for Lumen? And what the HELL IS QUINN GONNA DO?! Since his relationship with Dex's sister Debra is getting serious, it seems like he wants to call off his cop friend's investigation of Dexter. Problem is, he is the one that set that shit into motion. And I'm not sure how he is gonna stop it, cause don't think that guy is gonna stop he can find out everything he can about Dexter, even if Quinn stops paying him. I thought that Quinn is wanna go be the new Doakes. Now it looks like his friend is gonna be. And I admit, this show is MIND-BLOWING!!! :shock: I thought the show and this season wasn't gonna be as good because of Rita being dead and Dexter unable to fill that void. Thing is, I forgot about her already.I don't miss her AT ALL!!! And about Masuka, the guy is goofy, has that stupid laugh, and is oversexed. The show is so dark, you need some of that comic relief.
  15. That FBI agent is definitely a PSYCHO!!! I don't even understand his obsession with Margaret. I understand how she got her hooks into Nucky. She is both classy and intelligent, while his live-in girlfriend Lucy is slutty and stupid. What I really wanna see is what is gonna happen to Doyle and his merry little band. Nucky and his brother are gonna eventually find out that him and his partners robbed him, and that where Chalky White comes in. They hung one of his workers, and in those previews they show him holding a gun in each hand, about to go !!!

    Dexter

    Wishful thinking. He almost killed an innocent man because of her. Plus she had to stop her from killing him. He almost got rid of her, but she decided to stay in Miami and get her revenge on the ones who tortured her. Looks like she is gonna DRAG DEXTER DOWN!!!
  17. k_dub

    Dexter

    I think it's gonna be much more sinister than that. I doubt she has it in her to kill somebody, though I believe she wants to kill those guys. However, Dex does not want another tag along. No other serial killer has the code he has, nor do they as good as covering up their tracks. Remember MIGUEL PRADO?! Thing is, what is Dexter gonna do? She won't go back to her home, he can't kill her, and he already saved her life once, and he might have to do it again if she freezes up on those other guys. Next episode so gonna be INTERESTING!!!
  18. k_dub

    Dexter

    Well, this should get interesting. Not only is the Julia Stiles character is gonna survive(for now), it appears she is gonna become a FEMALE DEXTER!!! :| Not really sure how that's gonna play out. She is not gonna be able to get away with it unless Dexter takes her under his wing as a protege, and that is the farthest thing from what Dexter wants. Not to mention, he did that with Miguel Prado, and look how that one turned out.

    Dexter

    I have to bump this because it seems like all the Dexter fans, except for mem have DISAPPEARED!!! Doesn't anybody wanna discuss Dex's new life without Astor and Cody? Or the fact that him and Harrison are now living with Debra? Or how about he might have to kill that girl who saw him kill that guy because of the No#1 rule: DON'T GET CAUGHT?
  20. True that. HBO has a knack for keeping good actors around. Another former member of the Wire, Chris Bauer, in now on True Blood. Thomas Jane, who played Mickey Mantle in the HBO film 61*, is now the star on Hung.

    Dexter

    PHEW!!! Another great season premiere for Dexter. Not only did Rita's death effect Dexter, his sister and her kids, it kinda stuck a chord with whole POLICE DEPARTMENT!!! The neighbor, too. Dexter is not really being looked at as a suspect because he is a colleague to many in the police department. Except for Quinn, that is. He is definitely the 2nd coming of Doakes, and from the clips they have shown from future episodes after the premiere, it seems like he might also find out Dexter's DARK SECRET!!! And if he does, I don't know how Dexter will be able to shut him up. Quinn can't kill him cause he doesn't fit the code, and it seems like he will have some type of relationship with Debra, though I'm not sure if it will become something more than just sex. Dex does have a wild card, though. He knows Quinn is dirty. He tells the higher-ups, than Quinn loses his job. That happens, it will most likely end his investigation into Dexter's life. However, I'm eager to see how he can continue to be a serial killer while being a single father to THREE KIDS!!! He could do it when Rita was around, but now its just him.
  22. k_dub

    Dexter

    I saw some sneak previews and season 5 looks interesting. He is going to try to be there for his kids, but I doubt he is gonna stop killing. So Dexter is gonna be single father/serial killer. We are also gonna see how he deals with Rita's death, and how that effects his life and the people around him. Rita was his connection to the normal world, and now that's shattered. It also looks like he has a new adversary. Quinn is looking like the 2nd coming of Doakes. Not to mention he is the prime suspect in Rita's death since he is the husband. I just can't wait to see where season 5 takes us.

    NBA

    The Celtics are as good as their gonna get. The fact that they added Shaq is most likely gonna hurt them more than he helps them. despite their age, Boston is still 1st and foremost, a fastbreak team, and O'Neal slows them down. He can only play one way, and that is a half court style. All of his championships were with half court teams. Lebron is a fastbreak player, and when Shaq joined the team, the stats were down. Might be that way in Miami as well, but that is whole different ballgame. I think Orlando and Miami are the front runners to represent the Eastern Conference this upcoming season. Look for the Lakers to 3-peat. OKC is good, but they are gonna have to wait their turn.
  24. k_dub

    NBA

    You a Spurs fan, right?! WTF do u care about Lebron going to the Heat?! I guess you are folowing the Golden Rule of "It's not about the player, its about the uniform". However, if he doesn't go to your main rival team, shouldn't be angry at him. Now, as for Shaq join the CELTICS, O'Neal should be :lullaby: :voodoo: No former Laker or Celtic player has ever played for the other because IT'S THE CARDINAL RULE!!! It's true of other sports as well when dealing with rival teams. Dodgers-Giants, Red Sox-Yankees(Babe Ruth doesn't count cause he was traded), and I' sure there is one in football and hockey as well. Anyway, does Shaq really believe he is gonna ride the big 3 to ANOTHER CHAMPIONSHIP?! Shaq is old, Ray Allen is old, KG is old, and Paul Pierce is a year older than Kobe. You add Rasheed Wallace in there, gather up for the AARP meeting.
  25. P.S. The vampires in the Vampire Diaries can eat and drink, and if they have enough blood in their system, are able to digest it. They don't have to cough it up like in Twilight, and the True Blood vamps don't eat. Their blood can also be beneficial to humans. However, if they are killed with vampire blood in their system, that's how they are turned.
