Ah, Great Britain. Mother of America. Land of the... Double Decker Buses.In Hollywood, any characters visiting Britain will stop in one place: Greater London. They'll catch a ride on those cool red buses, try to make the Guards at the palace laugh, get into a debate about whether it's fries or chips, and at some point meet the Royal Family. The Establishing Shot will show Big Ben, Tower Bridge or both to a brief Standard Snippet of "Rule Britannia", just in case you weren't clear on the location.This, despite the real-life London being just one city in England, which is itself just one of four nations that make up the United Kingdom. If Scotland, Wales and Northern Ireland cross their fingers and hope really hard, they might just make an appearance in the form of Scotireland.Of course Hollywood England has only two accents; the "What-Ho, Old Bean" chinless twit one and the "Gorblimey Guvnah" Dick Van Dyke one. Unless it's a pirate movie set about two hundred years ago, in which case there's only the Bristol accent of Robert Newton; "Ahrr, Jim Lad!"But unless they come into play, the only other place in Britain is basically just a giant field outside London that is home to some sheep, a few cows, some supernatural monsters, a village, a couple of English manors, a castle or two and Stonehenge. Most British towns and cities are also handicapped by not having photogenic skylines and by lending their names to some more famous American cousins. So Joe American not only doesn't recognize Bristol, Birmingham, Newark, Darlington, Cleveland, Richmond, Boston, Plymouth, Scarborough, Lancaster or Dover in the same way that Joe English recognizes, say, Seattle from Frasier, but doesn't know they are the original owners of those names.
I'm so glad you said america and not Texas when ref that mother crap.Id be more likely to call them the "farmer" of america than the mother. A portion of the 13 colonies didn't even start off British.
you call that a problem.if there's a movie bout Holland, its just weed and whores.even though its called The Netherlands.
