Jan. 8th, 2019 10:10 pm1. Hee Hee. Twitter Flabbergasted that Christian Bale has a Welsh Accent During Acceptance Speech.
One of my favorite exchanges?
Poster: Since when was Christian Bale British?
Response: Pretty much since birth.
Poster: Isn't he American, that's clearly a fake accent.
Response: He's welsh. It's his real accent.
LOL!
Proof that most of the people on Twitter wouldn't know an actual Welsh accent if they heard one. They accused him of doing a fake Cockney accent, it's a Welsh accent. The Welsh sound different -- I know, I spent time them. Also North Wales and South Wales is different. Not all Brits sound the same. Their accents are as varied as US, also there's a standard British accent that you hear more often, just like there is a standard American accent that you hear more often.
Also...apparently some folks took exception to Bale calling Cheney - Satan. (They took him seriously and got all offended the poor little dears.)
Twitter Responder: He lost half his fans, including me with the Satan Reference.
Me: While weirdly, he made me even more enamored of him. (Eh, most of us have been calling Cheney - Satan and/or Darth Cheney or Darth Vadar or Lord of the Sith for years now. Where have you been? ) Also I doubt Bale cares -- he's like Daniel Day Lewis, he doesn't give a shit what people think of him. He just likes to act. Been acting since he was 6. Least narcissistic actor in the biz. And possibly the best actor of his generation. He just disappears into his roles -- a lot like Daniel Day Lewis does (also a Brit). Honestly, I don't know why the Brits are better at acting than the Americans. Maybe it's all that theater training?
[I didn't watch the Globes. ]
2. In your own space, create a list of at least three fannish things you'd love to receive, something you've wanted but were afraid to ask for - a fannish wish-list of sorts. Maybe someone will grant a wish.
* Scott Summers (aka Cyclops from the X-men) fanfic -- any pairing, although prefer Jean Grey, Emma, Storm, Wolverine, Beast, and Angel...platonic or otherwise. Also father/son - Cable/Scott, or father/daughter - Rachel/Scott, or Corsair/Scott or Xavier/Scott or Magneto/Scott.
* Icons -- Killing Eve, The Good Place, Lucifer (preferably Maze), Black Widow, Angela Bassett (from either Mission Impossible, 9-1-1 or Black Panther), Jean Grey, Kitty Pryde.
I can't think of anything else.
