LOL!  This was Something the Lord Made.  And if you thought Rickman's 
accent was awful in that, then *don't* watch Judas Kiss or Dark Harbor 
or even the segment of Die Hard where he pretends to be an American.  
Believe me, his accent was much *improved* in StLM.  

Saddest part for me, a *huge* Rickman fan, is that when he tries to do 
an American accent, he tends to lose some of that wonderful plumminess 
in his voice.  (Think the "DON'T lie... to me" line from the potions 
storage cupboard in GoF. :-))
