The true Minnesotans, Garrison Keilor and his regular crew (who played background roles), sounded natural, but Streep sounded like an East-Coaster immitating a Minnesota accent. Several other character attempted it too. I'm from Minnesota and we simply don't sound like that. The Minnesota "accent" is over-rated in this movieAnonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8256060.post-1146377290541865982006-04-30T02:08:00.000-04:002006-04-30T02:08:00.000-04:00good post...i am very interestd in what's going to...good post...i am very interestd in what's going to happen w/ lindsay and what her role will be in this film...<BR/><BR/>i honestly didn't know she was in it until i saw a preview the other night.<BR/><BR/>--RC of strangeculture.blogspot.comRChttps://www.blogger.com/profile/11340006144797496514noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8256060.post-1143622484310693262006-03-29T03:54:00.000-05:002006-03-29T03:54:00.000-05:00Can't wait for this movie.

And, well, it's Altman - I haven't seen many of his works but those I have have been great!<BR/><BR/>I love me some Lohan, so I'm happy to see her moving into more adult areas. She sure is liking ensemble work. <I>Prairie</I> plus <I>Bobby</I> and <I>Chapter 27</I> (or whatever it's called). <BR/><BR/>The love of Streep and Tomlin speaks for itself. Tomlin is indeed extremely underused. How fabo was she in <I>Huckabees</I>?

Lindsay had a hit at age 12, and two more at the ripe age of 17. I also think that her club activities are surprisingly separate from her acting abilities. She may be a party girl, but she doesn't let it get in the way of her talents.<BR/><BR/>--AAnonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8256060.post-1143475266188246562006-03-27T11:01:00.000-05:002006-03-27T11:01:00.000-05:00La Lohan is a mess, no question about it, but what...La Lohan is a mess, no question about it, but what a talented mess! Just wish she would lay low and use her gifts more wisely and to better effect than 'Herbie: Fully Loaded' and the like. Buzz around her is pretty toxic right now, but she could prolong her expiration considerably if she would stay out of the club scene and do good work that speaks for itself. We love you LiLo -- please don't go the way of Paris Hilton, Tara Reid and many others who have become a walking, breathing joke.

She was fantastic in Mean Girls even though she probably wasn't acting and was just being herself. In any case, it looks like she's making some good career decisions and starring in non-conventional films. Good for her for taking some chances.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.com
