THE HORROR OF BRITISH MOVIES

I never know what's going on. The Brits don't pronounce their words. Every line is tossed off.

Example: "Not a half bad adventure, what? - fighting off all these rhinos and cobras."

Answer: "Rather."

Then, there are those confounded wailing sirens: WAH wah, WAH, wah. Why can't the Brits use proper sirens?

And who writes that awful dialog?

Example: Civilization smashed, world coming to an end, asteroids striking London, mutant monsters drooling all over the place. Then the Brits always have some effete neer-do-well slouch against the fireplace and toss off something like, "This simply will not do."

An American character would at least say, "Holy Cow, our asses have had it!" ##
