An accent is something that can be researched, but you're right, there is a difference between accents in that region, and that really should be considered. The reason they're lumped together is mainly because of common trends in phrases and words (I hate citing wiki, but they do provide the best maps).

My God, ryswrites, you warned me even when you suggested this one to watch and I still wasn't prepared for it..

Synopsis: On a mission to rid society of its most repellent citizens, terminally ill Frank makes an unlikely accomplice in 16-year-old Roxy. http://www.imdb.com/title/tt1912398/

If you're ready to see violence not even five minutes after the cameras start rolling, you'll be fine watching this movie. I have to admit that I covered my face for some parts because it was a lot bloodier than I expected and I have a pathetically low tolerance to cinematic trauma, no matter the circumstance. My favorite part of God Bless America was how even though his world appeared to be a more exposed version of ours, Frank's only wish was literally to have people be nice to each other, and frankly, I supported his goals the entire movie (if not the means that he played them out). I was a little iffy about Roxy because her value systems were a little shallower than Frank's and I honestly expected her to go on her own killing spree at some point just because she could.. I thought the ending was FANTASTIC and I'm not gonna ruin it for anyone that plans to watch it (it can be found on Netflix), but my satisfaction at the last scene could not be subdued for at least an hour, and even as I'm typing this, I'm just grinning away (*turns aside to cackle delightedly*). I would recommend this movie just as a method for people to see how it's a mirror society to ours, and that we don't have to fall into the cycle of being pulled into what really, REALLY, isn't that important to us.

Genre: Dark Comedy/ Crime

Rated: R  (if you really didn't catch it by now, it's very violent with crude language, the latter not overly so..)

Plot: 8/10 (I liked the story line a lot. In part, because of its continuity, but some parts were a little extreme or a little incomprehensible)

Characters: 8/10 (not gonna go deep into this one, some characters I just plain hated)

Cinematography: 10/10 (I really enjoy the different methods they took with transitions, dumb as that might be)

Questions:

1.      How old is your Tumblr?

Actually, I moved accounts and started this blog back in March of this year, 2013! I'm surprised to have even gained any followers! I've had a Tumblr since.. er, I think February of 2012. 

2.      What do you think America should do about its government’s temper tantrum?

I think America needs to get its shit together. We ain't got time for this gridlock going down and this shutdown shit. 

In all seriousness, I don't see why it's such a big deal. Government shutdowns are normal. This one isn't any different and will be resolved soon.

3.      What’s your favourite candle scent?

I absolutely adore apple pie candles!

4.      Favourite film? Why?

Wow. I can't possibly choose, considering the number of stellar films I've seen. I guess I can name one of my many favourites: Treasure Planet. I've always loved the art and Jim Hawkin's story. His transition from juvenile delinquent with no future ahead of him to something more because he pursued what he wanted. Lovely movie. Lovely music. Lovely everything.

5.      What’s your most prized thrifted possession?

Aw man, that's a tough one. Maybe this really sweet fedora I got on sale? It's hard to say.

6.      Do you snore?

Sometimes I do!

7.      What are you gunna be for Halloween? (If you tell me you’re not gunna dress up, I will find you. I will find you, and I will dress you up myself, and then I will kill you(◕‿◕✿✿)

I'm going as a fallen angel. (I think I just hurt myself)

8.      What’s your most irrational fear?

Clowns. I don't know. They're really freaky. The ambiguousness of their mask-like makeup. Ugh.

9.      Where do you see yourself in five years?

Graduated university with a part-time job in the National Guard. Living with my girlfriend and enjoying my life to the fullest.

10.  If you could rename your favourite film, what would you call it?

Its title is lovely as is; I wouldn't change it!

11.  What’s the little plastic bit on a shoelace called?

An aglet!
