(Rant) I f'n hate producers putting British accents in everything deemed "old"/"ancient"

I always wanted to make a movie about ancient rome where every actor just has their own real life accent.

Look. Spartacus the show in an British accent was fire. You can never tell me otherwise.

I had to look those two accents up. Thurston Howell from Gilligan's Island comes up as an example of the LVJ. I never knew that was an accent that belonged to actual people elites that is.

Yeah, Katherine Hepburn is also cited as another example. Similar to RP and it's relation to Oxbridge, they say that the lockjaws and the Brahmin accents came out of the New England boarding schools which were influenced by the English.

I also hate it when movies with aliens or monsters or whatever have British accents.
