Im rewatching the Coen Bros v of The Odyssey (O Brothet Where Are Thou) and I would take a gd bullet for John Goodman the way he honors and elevates southern accents compared to so many pisspoor performances from hollywood regarding the south.

Ответ для Joel Bernstein

I could feel his power in his voice god dang

Ответ для Derril Lucci

Absolutely! That show was a riot.

Also the best soundtrack of any Coen Bros movie, hands down.

"I'm feelin' a might peckish".

watch "alpha house"

Ответ для ratchetology

Or Righteous Gemstones!

I have a crush on him lol. His spirit is awesome and I love a belly

Ответ для Alan Miles

But not in a way that diminishes or detracts from anyone else or the story. He really is just top shelf.

Ответ для Alan Miles

This is THE MOST underrated movie !!

Ответ для El Intrepido rides again

You go in expecting a dumb bug movie, then you're jumping when you see a spider in the house. 🕸️🕷️

Ответ для Alan Miles

The story was so well done too, I am amazed this has not been re-done, and that it’s buried in the Horror genre

I did not know O Brother was loosely based on the Odyssey. John Goodman as Cyclops made me laugh. 👁️

John Goodman's acting ability is SERIOUSLY underrated and I fully believe that it is only because he is heavy set. The dude (or, walter I guess) can switch from comedy to serious to seriously scary and make it look easy.

Ответ для LunchMeat 🍖🍖🍖

I agree with @slimyswampghost.bsky.social, who once referred to Goodman as (quoting badly from an old Twitter post) "being able to wear a mask of good cheer while exuding the most heinous vibes imaginable."

❤️ that movie Have the soundtrack

well he IS from the south...isn't he ?

I bought this one in Suzhou China for a dollar or so and watched it in a hotel room with huge Chinese subtitles. I remember having the best laugh ever when Clooney started to sing. One of those moments in life.

Big Dan Teague. Between him, and Stephen Root as the radio station owner Mr. Lund what an absolute perfect film. Soundtrack is wonderful, Clooney, Tim Blake Nelson (watch Old Henry), John Torturro, Holly Hunter and many others. Easily a top 5 film.

That man is gold and I wish he got more recognition

Another fantastic entry in the John Badman Coen Bros canon

If you need a chaser, true stories. Very similar, southern, humble, loving, offbeat. But a David Byrne movie.

John (seems like a)Goodman

Fake southern accents are soooo grating and you can sniff them a mile away.

Just how many hick-a-billy "Southern Accents" are there?

The ringer can not look empty dude!

i just saw this for the first time recently and he was so good!! i was bummed out when his character turned out to be in the KKK lol

not like the south deserves it

Ответ для cbfox

Fuck you.

Goodman was amazing.

He’s so cute 🥰

Seconded from Tennessee.

Every time I see an actor use an accent that isn’t their default, I always wonder a little bit if it results in winces or appreciation.

Hugh Laurie is a great example, and fun if you're with someone who didn't know, watching a talkshow and going, "Why is House talking all British and everything?" Mathew Rhys' original Welsh accent is a similar experience.

Playing the role of the Cyclops.

Coeh brothers don't miss; doubley so when it comes to casting.

You are not wrong.

I just got around to watching Damages and I'm pretty sure his face is rubber and he can change microscopic parts of it at will. I still use that line from Masked & Anonymous when Jessica Lange asks Uncle Sweetheart what happened to him & he says "How far back did you wanna go?"

my buddy and I work his "I find it COARSE and VULGAH" into conversation the time

Ответ для Matt Alston

I love all the Coen brother movies, that's interesting I love listening to regional accent.

Great actor, great film. The ‘We thought you was a toad’ scene is just brilliant.

John Goodman is a gd national treasure!

I always remind myself that very often the actor isn't given enough time by the production to work with a good dialect coach to get it right so I try to cut some slack but some actors are just so far up their own ass that they can't conceive the possibility that they suck at the accent

Ответ для HeyMickie42

I always wonder who let Don Cheadle try Cockney slang in Ocean's Twelve?

Ответ для Harry

Really hope that was a case of not enough prep time. Also, could've been no one wanting to pay for the coach

Ответ для HeyMickie42

Or maybe hubris, "Cockney, easiest accent in the world, right? Just sound like every Disney villain in film or animation prior to 1980." Not true, and rhyming slang is other level.

Ответ для Harry

Yeah, that could be. I don't know know enough about Cheadle as a person to know if he was arrogant enough to think he could pull it off without prep Americans really struggle with all UK accents no matter how good they are as an actor

Ответ для HeyMickie42

I'm American and, as such, not particularly discerning, but even as a kid I thought Dick Van Dyke sounded distinctly different from David Tomlinson, and not just because he played a chimney sweep. Do Brits have similar issues with a Texas accent, vs Kansas, vs Georgia?

Ответ для Harry

I think they do, yeah. They grow up on US media so the sort of generic standard American accents isn't usually all that difficult but the nuances of regional variations seems to not really occur to them. So a "southern" accent suffices whether it's in Georgia or Texas

Ответ для HeyMickie42

It doesn't seem subtle, but it must be. I was born in Austin, and thought my Wichita relatives talked funny. To me, "Southern" is what Eric and Julia Roberts speak when not in character. I've spent most of my life in Minnesota where the Scandahovian influence is so much more than presented in Fargo.

Ответ для Harry

Sure, accents are most obvious to locals My own is a mid south(think Sybill Shepherd)drawl mixed with the twang of Ozark hillbilly and Brits/Aussies/Kiwis I've spoken to can't place it any closer than "southern"

Ответ для HeyMickie42

LOL the Missoura Mashup, l know it well, and of course I'll always consider that a subset of Midwestern because it's right under Mpls, to everyone else, it's "Southern". I can tell my Sydney clients from my Melbourne clients, and the Kiwis are more lilting still, BUT DON'T CALL THEM SOUTH AFRICAN!

Why would people care so much about an accent?

It’s very difficult to elevate incoherent, lazily-delivered, racist, white nationalist gibberish.

Imma man a laaaarge appetites!

He crashes that role. Great flick.

He's from Missouri, so it's not like he's been asked to speak convincingly fluent Swahili. That said, he's an amazing actor and definitely one of the most underrated.

Ответ для Stagger McTipsy, AKA Captain Awesome Motherfucker

If he was British, he would have been knighted many years ago.

Ответ для Stagger McTipsy, AKA Captain Awesome Motherfucker

Missouri is far from a Louisiana accent. In the Deep South, it’s not considered a southern state at all. It’s more Midwest. It’s difficult to mimic a true southern accent, and Louisiana is unique in that it has a touch of Creole/Cajun in many parts of the state. I’m a Mississippian & can’t do it. 😊🤷🏼‍♀️

The man is from New Orleans. It's in his blood and that authenticity shines through like no other

Ответ для Lowendtheory

Bullshit. As a Missourian, I take offense. My man’s from Affton, here in St. Louis.

Ответ для Lowendtheory

yeah no hes from Missouri, born and raised and went to school there.

Ответ для Lowendtheory

I stand corrected. He lives is NOLA but did not grow up there.

John Goodman is among the finest actors ever.

He's got his own midget and a broom.

Always thought of John Goodman as the human incarnate of Foghorn Leghorn, regardless of accent. Tho I'm 💯 on your assessment too.

My boyfriend and I (South Carolinians) talk about this sort of thing a lot. Most of the accents in this film felt either authentic or very studied. I watched it for the first time and really enjoyed it.

Ответ для Starry Daddy ✨

So many actors who were not born and raised in the south and yet nail the accent/diction. The only other film Ive seen that pulls a similar trick is Sex, Lies, and Videotape set and shot in my hometown

Ответ для Rachel Merrill Artist for Gil Thorp and Death To Pachuco!

He was fantastic in Treme

Ответ для 505Atty

Fantastic for the short time he was on 😭

Ответ для Rachel Merrill Artist for Gil Thorp and Death To Pachuco!

Like your opinion on Dennis Quad in The Big Easy. He's a Houston boy, doing a New Orleans accent and I always wondered if it was over the top? Goodman rocks, by the way, ever since Revenge of the Nerds in my recollection.

Ответ для Rachel Merrill Artist for Gil Thorp and Death To Pachuco!

John Turturro's accent and role are another stand-out for me from this film. His "You stoke from mah kin" is an oft-repeated line around my house. A masterful talent!

Ответ для Rachel Merrill Artist for Gil Thorp and Death To Pachuco!

That's what having a top grade cast does for you.

Ответ для Starry Daddy ✨

Dialects and accents are just important here as they are in Fargo and the Coen's knew it.

Ответ для Starry Daddy ✨

We thought you was a toad

Ответ для Elderest Millennial

1000% my favorite line delivery

He's a legend here in New Orleans.

Gift for the gab!

A surprisingly great movie.

He is from Missouri so he knows a real one.

Wonder how much money Nolan spent on his Cyclops compared to what the Coen bros paid for the master class that is Goodman's performance

Love this movie

Ответ для Rachel Merrill Artist for Gil Thorp and Death To Pachuco!

Also I remember back in the 90s when Louisiana wasnt considered worth a mention nationally, John Goodman showed up to EVERY Mardi Gras parade like a gd champ

Ответ для Rachel Merrill Artist for Gil Thorp and Death To Pachuco!

I went to Jazz fest in that era one year and John fuckin Goodman showed up with one of the bands going crazy on a cowbell. They didn't even do a big deal announcement, he just ran out during one of the songs and started CLONKing away

Ответ для Jean-Paul Blartre: Mall Cop

That was the spirit of jazzfest ❤️

Ответ для Jean-Paul Blartre: Mall Cop

Maybe he had a fever…

Ответ для Rachel Merrill Artist for Gil Thorp and Death To Pachuco!

Which is kinda funny as he was Charlotte's dad in Princess and the frog

The way Goodman does a Louisiana accent is the way Louisiana folks do food, slow, warm, and with enough kick to let you know where you are. Then there's duck dynasty or swamp people 🙄 that everyone just has to try and mimic

He has always been one of the good guys who really cares about the craft, the story and the audience.

As a KY boy, I agree.

Ответ для A-a-ron

As a non-American, that read VERY differently than intended until I realized that you meant Kentucky.

As someone who used to have a southern accent, I like Goodman's accent. That said, the genteel accent that goodman uses is a rarity. Most southerners (myself included) have an accent that is much coarser.

Growing up in St. Louis, Missouri puts one at the intersection of American laugage. I am sure that helped him hit a southern accent.

Ответ для Shanman Shannon

This is a more accurate explanation. He also has a gift for being able to master accents, I’m sure. Missouri is not really southern, but “at the intersection” is the best description I’ve heard. 👍😊

Ответ для Dixie 4 now ❤️🇺🇦❤️🇺🇸❤️🇬🇧❤️🏴󠁧󠁢󠁳󠁣󠁴󠁿

In the prologue of Huck Finn, Mark Twain explains the many dialects that were (and still are) spoken in Missouri. He had a gift for the phonetic spelling of spoken language that gives life to written dialog.

Ответ для Shanman Shannon

Didn’t he? It’s been so long since I read Huckleberry Finn that I don’t recall the prologue. I’ll have to read it again soon. The term “an intersection of languages” seems very apt here. A brilliant phrase. I commend the author! 😊

He has such perfect command over every scene he speaks in it's ridiculous

There are films I simply cannot watch because of bad southern accents. (Diane Keaton in Crimes of the Heart, Olympia Dukakis and Shirley Maclaine in Steel Magnolias and everyone in Forest Gump.) There's no shortage of real southern actors, just a lot of tone deaf directors.

accent and attitude.....not a complement.

Nobody did more than Bill Moyers

He does a great southern accent in The Electric Mist with Tommy Lee Jones too.

Cuz hes FROM the south

I do not like southern accents. It all seems unauthentic - an act that people put on and off as they choose…

Ответ для islalola

If you truly think that, it can be applied to *any accent* Like, what?

Ответ для #1 Meatbag Disintegrator

It distracts me too much from movies. It might just be my brain or the way movies always “use” southern accents but I automatically don’t trust characters with southern accents. (It could even be the politics of our day here in USA…)

Thank you!

It's impressive seeing him playing an asshole It's always impressive seeing well known actors playing assholes
