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.

    • if  ANYONE actually goes & looks at the FACTS on rookie Qb's after 2 full seasons as a starter in the NFL & they are still well below average do they rarely ever actually become top tier Qb's & instead most likely either do not recieve a second contract & or become life long backups...just saying 
    • So he became GM and decided not to address the weakness in the QB room following one of the worst rookie QB performances in NFL history?  There were options last season other than signing Dalton to a 2 year deal. Brissett and Jones by a wide margin, both of whom outplayed Bryce, Wilson, Winston, hell even Rivers off the couch was more exciting at the QB position. The time to address the failure in the QB room was last year but instead people on the Huddle cheered when we brought Dalton back then cheered when we were able to get anything for him after they finally realized he was washed up like a few of had been saying all along and got poo'd for even mentioning.  This year, the options were more limited obviously, especially since we lost Icky. It changed the dynamic of our draft. I think we were stuck this year keeping Bryce, but i still think giving him a 5th year option for what has amounted to replacement worthy performance was the wrong move. Why guarantee 25m if you're planning to replace him? You think he's going to want to be a bridge QB? Hell no. He's going to want out and we'll end up cutting him if he has another lackluster season because no one is trading for him with that price tag.  Were there better options as far as production available. A couple. Were there guys available with more physical tools than Bryce, Pickett or Grier, you damn well better believe there were. I've been saying all along, you always keep looking for your 1b. Bryce has yet to prove he can be a starter. Keep looking for someone who may. Put competition in camp. Let the best QB lead the team. Stop settling for less than mediocre.
