Sean Connery is kind of brilliant with his abject refusal to do accents other than his own; "Highlander" wouldn't have been nearly as awesome without him.
(xpost: Yes, there's acting in "Sin City"! Pulpy scene-chewing is still acting, even if you don't care for it; my gripe with Owen was that he wasn't in line with his costars. Brittany Murphy completely, totally and thoroughly showed him up and that should be kind of embarrassing for him.)

American is more difficult, Australian is basically the same as Cockney. I always think I can do a really good version of both, but I always turn out to be wrong. I may also be wrong about Australian being the same as cockney.

A little bit. I saw famous son of Bristol Stephen Merchant on telly last night, and he was talking about how people, including him, find it easy to mock his sort of accent.

From way upthread:

maybe three or four things
1) more than a day later i'm still thinking about this movie every few minutes. harrowing!
2) is it a sign of my age that i sympathized strongly w/ the government / soldiers / police instead of the leftwing militia?
3) it's much more of a war movie than a scifi movie, all the kosovo comments dead on. closer to "saving private ryan" than "blade runner".
4) i liked all of the lovely textures in the movie. so many incredible fabrics, corduroys and plaids and military cottons, gorgeous knits and rugs, amazing woodgrains, peeling paint, rust, old porcelain etc etc. interior designer types will probably flip their lid!
5) i agree w/ whoever upthread said it's annoying to be afraid of someone getting shot in the face every few minutes. i walked out of the theatre thinking i should invest in body armor, bulletproof windows on my car, stronger locks on my doors and a handgun, which ideally wouldn't happen in a movie w/ an anti-violence message.
