And the reason why choir is likely to be one of the most hated words among non-native speakers learning English, and one of the most loved by teachers giving their students "try to pronounce this"-exercises.
Yes. It's Tony Curran playing Marcus, the initial source of vampirism in the Underworld franchise. He is their Akasha, so to speak. He's also in fledermaus mode in that pic. He had some sexy-shmexy scenes in this film even with that train wreck of a schnoz. He's on Defiance now and I have a hard time seeing him sexy there because his character is utterly repugnant as a person.
He's a great actor though, also learns the languages of anything hes' doing. Even the fake ones like in Defiance.
Oh, agreed. The fact that I find his character repugnant doesn't mean I don't think he does a stonkingly good job of playing him.
Yeah, his story arc ( Wife/ son included) are the most interesting ones on that show to me. Some of the other characters are very meh.
This might be my poor phonics knowledge now but... how's phonetically not spelt phonetically...? I remember when I was 19 or so I was still under the blissful belief that English spelling made perfect, logical sense lol.
If that were the case, the word with the definition for palindrome would be a palindrome. English, schmenglish.
When I used to teach English, I'd write "ghoti" on the board and ask students how to pronounce it. After a bunch of guesses, I'd tell them it was pronounced "fish". the gh makes the f sound, like at the end of rough; the o makes the i sound, like in women; and the ti is clearly pronounced sh, like in nation. Spelling is EASY!
... and here we have a group of diverse vampires from across history and from as far back as Classical Greece and Ancient Mesopotamia. They have come to consume their mother whom they refer to as Akasha and can be distinguished from the rest by her sex-on-wheel demeanor. The one to consume the last of her blood, thus killing her, will take the Spark of Vamp into themselves and serve as the Source for the rest of the remaining vamps. If she dies without someone drinking that last drop, the Spark of Vamp will go out and they will all suffer a last and final death out of their preternatural state.
Meanwhile, these vamps are taken with the classic affectation that you're not really a vamp unless you lay on the goth like butter on bread. Not a stitch of Abercrombie & Fitch to be found up in this bitch.
I'd pick Abercrombie and Fitch girls over those underworld creeps any day.............................................................................but I'd have to think about Akasha.
And then there's Gary Oldman doing the Victorian Drac to a tee! In at least a few scenes they even pronounce his name correctly, which is not drac-you-luh, but instead drah-kool-ya. The /ya/ suffix is a classic Slavic case ending for the genitive meaning "of the Dracul".
I can easily imagine the guy in the middle saying. "Alright, who is the dumb arse who ordered garlic bread with the pizza?"
Unfortunately, the guy in the middle wearing the str8-up late 80's Bauhaus goth trenchcoat is none other than Kraven, the head goth played by Shane Brolly who is a total diaper stain of an actor and detracted significantly from what was otherwise a decent piece of goth-o-rama. Also, resting bitch face.
