   HORRIBLE. HORRIBLE. HORRIBLE. For God’s sake, Gerard Butler is Scottish. He could have used his own accent swooshed around a little and been from Norn Iron or maybe from Donegal or even frigging Monaghan and it would have been passable. What the fuck kind of accent is that??? And it would appear (since his character is dead) that an an awful lot of his part of the fil(lu)m will be him talking, instead of doing anything. *shudder*

   And James Marsters wasn’t in the trailer I saw at all (at all.) It was the one on YouTube - where did you see it? At least JM is good at accents - he could have pulled something off and rescued things a bit. I seem to remember that he’s playing Butler’s friend or something - wonder is he in the Irish segment or another one?

   I had planned on seeing this cos of Spike but now I don’t know how I’ll put myself through it. It’s just too horrible. Gargh.

   Oh my, I had actually forgotten they were making that timeless classic into a film, until your post reminded me of it >:(

   JL, thinkin’ was it? You and your fancy th words, all we’d be doing down here is tinkin’. To be sure. Aye.

   Sinéad I reposted the link over at your blog: http://www.canmag.com/nw/9016-ps-i-love-you-trailer

   Horrible is a good description H. I didn’t see Mr. Marsters either, but it took an age to load and I was so horrified by the accents that I didn’t pay too much attention. At all at all.

   Jean Pierre, we do have leprechauns. They simply don’t talk like that, is all They actually sound like upper class English snobs for some reason.

   Tgwaof have you read the book then? I’ll be honest, all the hype put me off it.
