Especially considering that the British intentionally abandoned the rhotic accent in direct response to wishing to separate themselves from the "gauche" colonists.  Apparently "the King's English" wasn't even a thing until after we won the War of Tea. 

It's two different British accents, but it's almost like the more common tongue took all those r's the aristocrats didn't use anymore and tacked them on to the end of words like "idea."

Spiderman, Dune, The Odyssey....

Zendaya must have the best agent in Hollywood.  She in a lot of good things, and she's not a bad actress or an annoying person (that I know of), but neither is she a really good actress.  She's just kind of there.  It surprises me that she's so "it" right now.

No offense but I can't tell the difference between Minnesota and Wisconsin accents.

Minnesota always struck me as full of the Midwest's corniest people.

Wisconsin is windy because Minnesota blows and Illinois swallows.

Why doesn't Texas fall into the Gulf?

Because Oklahoma sucks.

With all 3 LOTR movies, they might be scared of girls.

Women love LOTR.  Mostly Aragorn.

Give me the gender breakdown of 100 people attending a "meet Aragorn" panel at a Nerdfest.

Wasn't planning on seeing the new Spiderman, but I'm a sucker for my oldest daughter wanting to hang out, so we saw it. Actually, really good! I've been jaded on Marvel movies lately, but this one was great. Wasn't dependent on giant CGI battles, so I liked that.
