Having seen both trailers, I would suggest that the Asylum one is the more artistically daring, since it re-interprets a classic story in the modern world, whereas The 3D Musketeers just looks like a John Woo movie in period costumes; Lace/Off, if you will.

Wait, isn't this the thread for A Few Boob Men?

I recommend 'The Tough Coughs As He Ploughs the Dough' as a scary introduction to the comically arbitrary mappings English has between its notations and its sounds; pointing out those infelicities is a time-honoured tradition in the public houses of Oxford, at least.

I still regard haytch as a non-standard pronunciation, rather than aitch; see 'Estuary English' for more fings (sic) like this.

Erb sounds wilfully pretentious to me, much like the bizarre spelling of bleu cheese or the surprising use of a la mode to mean 'with ice cream'.

I also find amusing the pronunciation of 'enclave' as on-klayv; it's as if the first half of the word demands a French accent, but the second half doesn't (otherwise it would be on-klaav).

Al-uh-minny-um is how I generally say that.

A friend of mine once proposed the phrase "Marry merry Mary" as a way of (approximately) distinguishing Americans, English and Scots; Americans say all three about the same, English say 'marry' clearly differently to the other two, and Scots say all three words quite distinctly.

Sold-er, rhymes with 'folder'. It's an 'L' of a thing.

I've never understood why some Americans pronounce 'primer' as if it rhymes with 'trimmer'. It's not like 'to prim' is the appropriate verb, or that something being 'primed' rhymes with 'trimmed'.

But then, I don't get why Americans pronounce 'solder' as if it rhymes with 'fodder', either. Still, it's not as if Actual English isn't brimming over with lots of opportunities for reverse kettle-blackery. Whatever that means.

I don't have a lot of spare time between now and Monday, so I'll have a go at 'Inception' and 'A Few Good Men', if that's okay.

Oh, also, throw in clips that use terms ripp'd from the DiF glossary, such as Goldblums, magic beans and "as you know" scene, to hint at, I don't know, mysterious learnin' and stuff.

Bugger, I've forgotten what it was about, but there was a hilarious riff that ended with Trey saying "Well, that was a thing. And now it's over. And now it's in the past."

Celebrity puppeteering.

Should we attempt to take any solace from the fact that the speaker is the Chief Technical Officer of Disney Animation, and therefore probably not the guy who really sets the studio's strategy on whether spectacle beats story?
