And they talk like regular vanilla toast folk unless they are playing a character from Boston...then they speak in Limericks.
Nah, in their earlier roles, you can clearly hear them masking the NE accent (with the exception of Good Will Hunting) and then as time away from Boston increases, you can hear it evolve into a more refined accent.

There has never been a movie that even remotely sounds like a New Orleans accent. At this point, i just want one movie to have a real yat in there just to confuse the rest of the country
guess you forgot about the little JCVD vehicle Hard Target

Dennis Quaid's Nola accent in the Big Easy is pretty bad
1. I'm not defending the accent,
B. It is a really bad accent, and
III. It is not nearly as bad as many Louisiana folks and New Orleans in particular make it out to be, dahlin

Any Boston accent is terrible

Kevin Costner in Thirteen Days. I love the movie, but the accent grates me a little.
He sounds like Mayor Quimby from The Simpsons

Costner is a great actor but can’t do accents at all.

Jon Hamm in The Town. It was OK when he was talking with a Boston accent, but it just went in and out for no reason, like he had a split personality.

Wasn’t Dennis Quaids character supposed to be from New Iberia originally. Maybe his folks were supposed to be from there. I remember some line about being from Bayou Teche or something.

i dont know, he was pretty close on that obnoxious, nasally northeaster / Boston / Harvard accent. it sounded bad in the movie and it sounds bad in real life.
he didnt do an accent at all in RHPOT, so i dont know why you're naming that movie as an example of a terrible accent
but to your greater point, yeah KC does his best stuff when just being KC

Leo and Jack for the Departed were world class bad.

Costner is the all time winner in either doing no accent when one is required or bombing an accent terribly.

As said, most audience members would be thoroughly confused if a movie used actual yat accents in a film set in New Orleans
I didn’t know what accents even were but I knew those people sounded different than everyone else in the south
Imagine how great it would be if Philly people randomly talked liked they were from Alabama

There'd probably need to be some sort of expository scene early on where an out-of-owner asks someone something like "Why does everyone here sound like they're from Brooklyn?" and it gets explained to them.
Reminds me of when I went to a Yankees game.
There were several drunken assholes behind me who sounded like they could have been at my Yat relatives’ house for Christmas.

What’s that saying about Pennsylvania? “Pittsburgh in the west, Philly in the east, and Alabama in between”?

Yes. I went to college in Boston and their accents are spot on.
That’s funny, I used to be a janitor at a college in Boston.
