    I hate Tom Cruise and I still couldn't bring myself to dislike the film.
    Well that's relieving. I still haven't seen it, and I want to like it, but I've heard "things."

    And there are all kinds of American accents. Midwest, New York, Boston, Philidelphia, Southern, Texas, Bayou, etc. Just not as many as, say, England, and they're not all crammed into an area the size of Florida. The variety of British accents still amazes me

    Though anywhere west of Texas features the most neutral sounding English language accent I can think of. I live in northern Nevada and people just don't have accents of any kind, it's weird Everyone sounds like Stephen Colbert.
