How can you say a movie is bad if you've never seen it? How can you say and accent is bad if you've never heard it?<br /><br />Typical Scots reasoning and sucking up to a Yorkshireman. Do you think you will get any credit from him for that?<br /><br />Just as Tony Blair and the Iron Lady should be looked up to for their successes and wealth-earning capabilities, so too should you not demean a Hollywood saint whom you have never even seen perform in Mary Poppins.
