I'm genuinely astonished about the ongoing "accent" controversy.

Even legitimate film critics are commenting on the "strangeness" of the VALKYRIE cast not attempting German accents.

Have any of these idiots ever seen PATHS OF GLORY, DR. ZHIVAGO or THE BLUE MAX? Do they not realize how utterly stupid it'd be for Cruise, Branagh, Stamp & Co. to recite their lines sounding like Col. Klink?

"Damn it, it's jammed!"
