Maybe Floyd sounds like that!
Not just Texas…southerners are made to sound like idiots.
Well, as Jeff Foxworthy said, the southern accent “is not the most intelligent sounding accent”.

I consider a Jersey accent the dumbest thing I have ever heard. It’s all in the ears of the beholder.
John Adams said New Yorkers talked too fast and too loud.Nothing much has changed,has it?
Well,when I got to Albuquerque for college I kept hearing people there talk about “pee cups”.Was that something doctors had you piss in?
Jason Statham playing Jason Statham in a movie about Jason Statham.
I wonder if the guy ever tried Othello?
This is not new in the industry, James Garner only ever played one man, James Garner. He was pretty much the same person in every single part he ever played. Stick with what you are good at…it worked for James Garner.
Outlaw…. I don’t know if you get a network out there called Me TV, but they show a bunch of classic TV including Rockford Files. Awesome.
Me TV? I will investigate.
Perdition catch my soul!
The story is from Donald Westlake/Richard Stark’s “Flashfire,” one of his Parker crime novels. Statham’s not a bad fit for Parker (aside from the English accent). There have been several previous movies from Parker stories, including “Point Blank” with Lee Marvin, “The Split” with Jim Brown, “The Outfit” with Robert Duvall and “Payback” with Mel Gibson. Lee Marvin is probably the screen character closest to the way Westlake writes him. Fans of hard-boiled fiction might want to check out the Parker novels — even if you try one and don’t like it, they’re pretty short.
I enjoyed “Payback”…only saw it on DVD, don’t even remember it ever being in the theaters.
Great cast,especially Gibson and James Coburn.Brian Helgeland directed it,I think(he did “A Knight’s Tale”).
Westlake was a good writer,Brett.I like one he did called “The Ax”…creepy little novel.
I read a few of Westlake’s Parker/”Richard Stark” novels a while ago — I remember next to nothing about them except that 1) I liked them, and 2) Westlake-as-Stark loved to begin his stories in medias res, just to get things moving briskly. The first sentence in almost every Parker book begins with a clause starting “When”, as in “When yet another car failed to stop for Parker’s thumb, he began throwing the finger instead.”
