: then I don't think you should be TOO worried about Bilbo having
: a Bronx accent or Aragorn speaking with a deep-south accent and
: chewing tobacco.I'm opposed to the gratuitous inclusion of an American accent myself (although, frankly, an ENGLISH accent makes no more sense than any other sort of accent, as Tolkien himself pointed out, because these peoples didn't speak English or any related language). However, the idea of an Aragorn speaking with a (unbvelievable bad, as you usually get in movies and television) southern drawl and chewing tobacco makes me think it would almost be worthwhile to see it! "I say, I say, I say there boah! I'm a RANGER, d'y'see? A R-A-N-G-E-R! [spit!] Now, y'all git along and pack yore thangs. We'll be movin' into them woods there yonder jist as soon as I down these grits and hominy for mah breakfast!"
