And one last thing, too much accent is better than no accent at all : in the French version, Danny ( Cubano, foster care veteran...) speaks with the same flat, precious accent as Martin (son a deputy director of the FBI) : THIS is disturbing because that hides one important dimension of the character. DAMN...goooooood point!!!!!

JEN Sorry, didn't know it was more like an apreciation threat.
REI People who speak spanish DO speak fast - or at least faster than people who speak portuguese or english, at least to my ears, and portuguese and spanish sound a bit alike, but I find it hard to understand movies in spanish sometimes. Although, not ALL spanish sounds so fast.
and it's the truth - in Brasil, we also have a dubbed version - horible, Martin sounds like a little girl (Dricks, you know the voice, don't you think I'm right?) but Danny's got one of our best voice actors, so they kinda kept the "street smart accent and words".
But i don't see Elena's accent as something that defines her character.

Although, not ALL spanish sounds so fast. In fact, I was asking about Puerto Ricans, because I know from experience that people from Andalusia speak really really fast (and faster than RS do, believe me, I'm just coming back from Seville) and cut half the words (para ti = pa' ti, de nada = de na', quieres = quere', tiene = ten') whereas Cuban or Mexican people do speak more slowly. So I was wondering about people from Puerto Rico to see if her diction is part of her culture or not.

Puerto Rico is a pretty big place. Different regions have different 'accents' and different places have different talking speeds. Someone from NYC speaks English with a different accent than someone who is from Atlanta, and someone from Brooklyn probably speaks much faster than someone from New Hampshire or LA or whatnot.
It's easy to believe a sterotype when you see it presented on TV time after time but really, speed of speach isn't an ethnic thing per se.

That could explain why we saw the pics of Eric Close and his family seeing the premiere out in LA. I heard it is a good movie...I need to take the time and see it.

On a silly note Celebrity X Rank lists the "popular" celebrities based, I think, on internet searches Roselyn ranked #345 out of 6,382. Also on the list: PM is #1,371 James Marsters #1,892 (Det. Mars) MJB #2,761 MEM #3,628 (Anne) EC #4,672 ALP #5,207 I didn't see EM's name. Woe. But I did have to scan through 6,000+ names so if anyone else wants to double check please feel free.

ALP is listed there but the real question is no Enrique Murciano? Seriously.

Oh, he's there (see above). Sorry, I was adding people as I went through the list. I was bummed that I didn't see Enrique listed but after looking through 6,000 names I might have missed it.

No surprise that Roselyn Sanchez is like #345; higher than the rest of the others coz she has so many giggs and stuff. I see her "sexy" pics on my friends "Who I'd Like To Meet" on Myspace a lot especially after the Music Video with Fabulous and Game Plan (anyone seen it yet?) EM's not there? Thought he would be more top of MJB...

That is great news. I see she even merited a mention on the MSN homepage's Entertainment section. To me, that means she has a great PR agent but its also a nod to her in general. ;D Congrats to Roselyn and Eric!
