DP. This is one of only 2 films I own. The other is One flew over the cuckoo's nest.

There is just so much to get into with Kane. To me it's not the story as much as how ground breaking the film was shot. The lighting, or lack of lighting, angles, pace, close ups, fades, cuts and all kinds of tricks that are so common today we just assume thats the way movies have always been made.

For the sake of not being struck by lightning, I will refrain from saying who should be cast and who should be directed.

I watched half of Kane in film class in highschool and skipped the 2nd half. For some reason I'm just not interested and I don't know why. The only two films that stick out in my mind during the "classics" part of the class were The Cabinet of Dr. Caligiri and The Bicycle Thief.

that's why it is always best to see a film either on a whim or stumble upon it. too many preconcieved notions or hype and the film never delivers.

at the same time, some of the best classic films should be seen on a big screen and i bet peoples take are totally dif than watching on tv at home with the pause button.

"One Flew Over the Cuckoo's Nest" is one of my favorite films. I think it especially resonates with me because I've had family members who were mentally ill.

    • Please don't tell me you just averaged the QB ratings of all of Shough's starts to declare his QB rating as better 😂 I hope you don't actually believe that's how it works.  Otherwise please show your math on Shough's QB rating as a starter. Thanks for including Shough's 2.6 more Rushing YPG in this comparison, really doesn't feel at all like you're desperately grasping for as many straws as you can here. The truth is, it takes a statistical bottom-tier starting QB like Bryce Young to make Shough look simply OK by comparison.  And that bottom-tier starting QB still, by your own admission, puts up more points for his offense than Shough.  You're framing this as damning for Bryce, but in reality the fact that him and Bryce are so neck-and-neck is shining Shough in a very poor light. Yes Shough is a rookie and Young is a 3rd year starter, which is why I circle back to my position of Shough having a "pretty solid, encouraging rookie season" whereas you're fanboying over him.  Never mind that Shough is 2 years older than Bryce though.  Normally yes a QB's experience in the league is invaluable...but Bryce is kind of a unique situation considering the biggest complaint with him is he is too physically limited to succeed in the league.  Do we think a QB can overcome severe physical limitations simply with experience?  Also I remember wayyyy back (/s) when we cared so much about DJ Johnson being an older rookie and our standard for them being that they're more NFL-ready and able to contribute sooner rather than later.  But now all of a sudden Shough is just a poor little 26-year-old rookie on an awful team.  Seriously...the way you frame everything around Shough is straight out of a fanfic.  Constantly referencing with tears in your eyes how he's succeeding against all odds on such an awful team.  Meanwhile the Saints' D is 14th in PPG and their offense (led by Shough) is 29th in PPG.  Telling me how the Saints managed a win on Shough's shoulders against the Jets last week who put up...*checks notes*...6 points against the Saints' D.  Yes god bless the savior Shough who willed his team to victory against those juggernauts led by Brady Cook.  Never mind how Taysom Hill threw as many touchdowns in 1 passing attempt as Shough did in 49 passing attempts.  Yikes.
    • Who's gonna drop the gloves? I can't think of a single player on this team that can fight. Period. Much less get the best of an opposing player. Please.
    • as a starter, Shough is better this year in all the aspects I shared with you.  Facts. You disputed nothing I said because I’m talking starts and my numbers are right
