Bill is very sensitive about people making fun of accents. He once banned me as a customer because I said he sounded like he was from Lawn Guyland. This was back in the A/V Maniacs days. Apparently he's still sensitive. BTW, I was able to get a good look at Bill sans mask during the penultimate facebook livestream. There was a brief moment where Dave was filming while walking around the apartment and he stopped at the doorway to the bedroom long enough to make Bill's face visible. He had the mask on all other times so he was caught off guard there. Must be sad to go through life hiding behind masks.

Isn't the Boston accent more Irish influenced?

Bottom line, we're not getting The Farmer because we don't buy his releases. Don't try to lie now because Bill has compared your names here to the names on his orders. Besides he already knows none of us can afford a sammich.

People can say whatever they want. It's far more important than protecting the offended.

I’m pretty excited about Primal Rage. That’s an unexpected surprise. Hopefully we don’t have a long wait.

So what? If your comment was intended to fix or remedy the issue you failed miserably, welcome to the thread, if you want to have a serious discussion about movies you're in the wrong thread pal.

Demon, I did hear Bill say last night there were music rights issues. He's also said the film owes the IRS money in the past so who knows what's true. You may be right, he just wants to spite the fans and basically say, I've got it, you want it and you can't have it.

Will Primal Rage be available to non-membership people on Dark Force at some point soon?

Bill,

I'm going to make a formal offer for The Farmer. Since no amount of money is going to make you change your mind, I'm going to offer you something more valuable than money...I'll trade 10 pallets of the softest toilet paper for the rights to The Farmer:

Could Fred and general manager Tom be the same person? Has anyone seen Fred and Tom in the same room together?

Sbarro shits are the kind where TP is not sufficient, you may have to jump in the shower to get that taken care of.

I would say so. Though it's probably a mix of both to a degree, the strong accent that most people think of is probably most closely associated with South Boston or "Southie" - at one time primarily Irish. The North End is a heavily Italian neighborhood where I wouldn't expect to find as much of that distinctive accent.

It's just a variation of the old New England accent. I am sure it pre-dates the big influx of Irish and Italians in the 19th to early 20th centuries.
