Disneyphile, bookworm, feminist, film buff, fan of musicals. On this blog I post about whatever show movie, book, event, etc, I am interested in at the moment..
I don't think I noticed a Queen's accent at all at first, then suddenly it was like "whoomp, there it is.". lol He was absolutely fun to watch though and it didn't bother me at all.
If there was a way to have a cross over with Alisha's Abigail and Kirsten's Claudia, I would be ecstatic. Alisha could hold her own with Kirsten, and that is saying a lot, because I have always considered Kirsten's performance as Claudia to be one of the best performances I have seen by a child actor.
The accents in Abigail
I saw Abigail yesterday.
I may write a more thorough review later, but right now I just wanted to mention a couple of the accents that were used, specifically by Alisha Weir and Dan Stevens.
Anyone who has seen this movie or Matilda the musical knows that Alisha is a star in the making. I did hear her Irish accent come out when she was on the phone in the beginning of the movie, but mostly she did a very good job hiding it, and her overall performance was a perfect blend of innocent child and crazy monster.
I don't recall if Dan's natural accent slipped out, but his character's Queen's accent was definitely thicker in some parts than others. This works though, since the character Joey says that Dan's character Frank is "from Queens but tries to hide it." Dan also does a great job playing a character that you're never quite sure if he is going to lead them out of this mess, or screw everybody over.

I am not a Chuck hater either, but, for instance, when she drugged her aunts, or kept her dad undeaded without Ned's knowledge. Her intentions were good, or at least understandable, in both cases, but I feel like she got off a little easily.
And in the finale when she and Ned both separately try to sabotage the aunts's show to keep them from leaving. Props to Emerson for calling them out.
I prefer Chuck as a love interest for Ned, but, as an individual, I think I prefer Olive. (At least, I prefer her once the writers realized that they had Kristin freaking Chenoweth, and they needed to give her more to do than moon after Ned).
not a chuck hater but honestly I do think there should have been a longer arc acknowledging she can guilt trip other people and be quite selfish
"Music, that was where Lestat separated man from food. Music pierced his damned soul. And any human who were involved with the creation of it existed on an elevated plane in his eye. I was moved to see he too had his human attachments."
I still remember someone showing a picture of Eric when he was younger and saying that he could get it back then. I'm like "As far as I'm concerned, he can still get it. " lol
Our whole cast is so attractive, as well as crazy talented.
We don't talk enough about how brilliant it was for the show to age Daniel up.
He is now a far more skilled journalist than the young man Louis originally met.
He has no time for anyone's crap, so he is not letting Louis steam roll over him this time.
As a man in his 70s, he also has a very different view of life, death, and mortality than he did as a young man in his 20s.
All of this has already affected how the interview has played out, and will no doubt continue to do so.
“A bond like that makes you believe there are only two of you on the planet. Freedom and chastity wrapped in one person.”
“But there were three of you.”
