Wild Mountain Thyme - Jamie Dornan & Emily Blunt

Agent Coulson · 10-11-2020 7:25pm #1

The worst Irish accents ever,

Also starring Christopher Walken & John Hamm.

Addle · 10-11-2020 9:13pm

Is it a comedy?
When is it supposed to be set?

I’m looking forward to seeing it, for all the wrong reasons.

RasTa · 10-11-2020 9:17pm

DAT. At least Walken didn't try.

gmisk · 10-11-2020 9:58pm

This is like an snl parody....jesus!
Jamie Dornan is irish ffs!

Harry Palmr · 10-11-2020 9:58pm

Twitter is in its element tonight, #WildMountainThyme hilarious reactions. Dis, dat diese, doze.

johnnyskeleton · 10-11-2020 10:02pm

The real question is, when the cinemas open up again, will ye go lassie go? And we'll all go together.

(Sorry couldnt resist)

ciaradx · 10-11-2020 10:27pm

When is this supposed to be set? It looks ancient but then Emily Blunt mentions freezing her eggs?

The American audience will lap this up.

Agent Coulson · 10-11-2020 10:34pm

It's based on the play Outside Mullingar which had a run on Broadway 5 or 6 years ago starring Debra Messing it closed in less than 2 months.

John Patrick Shanley wrote it he won an Oscar for Moonstruck.

Iris actors that put on ****e Irish accents need to ridiculed relentlessly

Is this the Irish version of Moonstruck, Emily Blunt taking Cher's role

siblers · 10-11-2020 11:41pm

Even if they had proper accents it still would be awful. Its like they have based this off Darby O'Gill.

You'd expect better from Emily Blunt, this just seems way beneath her. Same with John Hamm. It looks like made for TV ****e by someone who has never been to Ireland

10-11-2020 11:43pm

looks an absolute shocker tbh

John Patrick Shanley (writer and director) is probably the type of Irish American that think's he's really, really Irish but is in fact very, very American.

Christopher Walken’s Irish accent is gloriously bad.

The film looks like it was shot for the budget of a cheaper episode of Fair City. Fascinating they managed to get big name actors for something which looks so hilariously amateurish.

tonycascarino · 11-11-2020 3:34am

This will probably be the next PS I Love You movie that Yanks will go crazy for. I am not so precious about the crappy Irish accents as I am all for Hollywood selling anything Ireland related.

11-11-2020 7:55am

Sometimes I think we don't realise how the accents in the irish countryside really sound. Take for example these boys in the Dail , whom if anyone from outside the island was watching might think some these guys slept in the fields.

Im pretty sure I've heard Irish people living in Ireland with far worse accents then those in that trailer!

Heres Johnny · 11-11-2020 8:04am

Accents sound like the family guy episode when they come to Ireland. And that's a parody. Peters dad is called mickey mc finnegan, wouldn't be surprised to see names like that in this too.

11-11-2020 9:56am

The whole setting and timeframe looks weirder than the accents. Is it modern or pre independence or what?

Amazing you would even hire him for this. The only accent Christopher Walken can do is Christopher Walken.

Look sure let Jamie off Irish lads are sexy at the moment so might as ride the wave

Maybe it's the 1980s they were kinda both

Or it's about whatever planet the Healy-Raes are from

is_that_so · 11-11-2020 10:26am

Here's Fintan O'Toole on the play it's based on!

breezy1985 · 11-11-2020 10:29am

Maybe "Outside Mullingar" will be looked back on someday as Ireland's "Springtime for Hitler"

Harry Palmr · 11-11-2020 10:34am

This certainly looks like it could have cult classic status thrust upon it, ideal for a group watch.

I think the point is we have so many genuine different Irish accents - and yet Hollywood Irish is none of them. Just some Blarney O'Gill leprechaun mashup.

But then maybe only the Irish can recognise this, and we're not gonna kill the box office.

Going by certain parts of Ireland if the actors wanted to sound authentically Irish they should just use their American accents

The phone in this clip looks to have been released in the late 80's / early 90,s

There was one listed on adverts as 1987 year model

Why is he interfering with himself with the door open. Is he watching someone down the hall

11-11-2020 11:53am

I'm surprised the film is depicting the Irish as having telephones at all and don't just send our messages across the fields on horseback.

wakka12 · 11-11-2020 11:55am

Goodness me, can this be a real movie? And such a major cast OMG what were their agents all thinking some kind of collective lapse of common sense in hollywood?

Whatever about the other's accents wtf is jamie dornan doing this man is from ireland. You'd think he never visited the island before going by his attempt an irish accent

CastorTroy · 11-11-2020 11:59am

Sure my parents still have that type of phone, as I'm sure loads of others do.

I never knew I wanted to hear Christopher Walken attempt an Irish accent until now.

I think he got the accent right and I would know more lads sound like that then people with Dornans normal voice.

This movie will probably make a bucket load as softcore porn for international fans Normal People and Fleabag. Having lived abroad for years I'm for any movie that gets women wantin to hop up on an ugly yoke like me just cause he sounds like some TV priest or one of the Weasleys

SusanC10 · 11-11-2020 12:08pm

For some reason, that Trailer made me laugh so much - haven't laughed so much at something since pre-Pandemic !
Looking forward to watching this with a few glasses of Wine.

Straight to Hallmark Channel or whatever tv hell they send this crap to these days.

Oh man even better when you Google it. You get a version by "The Priests" that looks like something out of Father Ted

Also have a look for the original play and Debra Messings accent

I googled and when I saw the image I immediately thought it was from Father Ted. Only you mentioned it was The Priests that I looked again.

I keep thinking the background is gonna burst open like the Rugged Island Eurovision song.

If someone had told me there was a band named The Priests I would never have thought they were actually priests

WrenBoy · 11-11-2020 1:05pm

Ders more to Oirland den dis

CastorTroy · 11-11-2020 1:07pm

Ah, the Priests have been around a while. Though looking now, I thought they were before 2008. Usually see/hear them being mentioned around this time of year, for some reason.

i think there's a big difference between strong and varied irish accents (nobody has ever denied this) and made up/poorly researched accent efforts that dont actually exist

this trailer is full of the latter

pixelburp · 11-11-2020 1:17pm

Jeez, what do they have on Emily Blunt that she's in this? She seemed cannier and in higher demand than this - unless this is like Underwater and was shot years ago, simply moulding on the shelf.

Jamie Dornan keeps appearing in total crap, guy seems a good actor but must have a terrible agent.

I've never in my life had a good thing to say about Martin or FF but ide vote for him after seeing him tell that other fool to cop on

loyatemu · 11-11-2020 1:30pm

does Walken dance at some point, that's the important question.

jester77 · 11-11-2020 2:16pm

It was a struggle to make it to the end of that trailer.

santana75 · 11-11-2020 2:25pm

The only saving grace is that they didnt force Don Draper to eh, Don an Irish Accent. Normally love Emily blunt, but this looks horrendous.

Hurrache · 11-11-2020 2:25pm

What's Doran thinking for A. that accent of his, B. not telling the cast how stupid their accents are and WTFing the director, and C, basically questioning the whole bloody thing.
Is he getting enough money to quietly laugh to himself and dialling it in. But that doesn't even make sense given how he'll be received as a result anyway.
Maybe with him being from the north he's on an Orange Order mission to undermine and laugh at the Republic.

lawred2 · 11-11-2020 2:27pm

Why is an Irish man putting on an Irish accent?

11-11-2020 2:29pm

id say that since fifty shades dornan is phoning in whatever work pays, hes got a good professional attitude that way

his work in the fall and the siege of jadotville alone shows he can both act and do a tricky accent if called for
