Dustin Hoffman's Goin' Down to Dixie disaster in the otherwise
reasonably entertaining *Runaway Train*. If this is supposed to be the
Method in action, it urgently needs a quality audit.

Meanwhile, for a Louisiana accent done Dead Proper by a
non-Oscar-winning non-Strasberg-trained non-actor, see the uncannily
talented Christopher Guest's effort in *Best in Show*. (Hey, that
could have made a half-decent SDC question: "Which lord's
mother-in-law stole $40,000?")

Far too easy, methinks.
