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.

      Round 1: The Carolina Panthers select OT Monroe Freeling (Georgia)

      By Jay Roosevelt · Posted

      I wonder if they'd consider trading Rasheed Walker to a team that needs tackle help but missed out in the draft?

      LOL. This is such a Panthers fan take.  Anyone who falls to us must suck because some other team didn't take them before.  We got lucky with Lemon, Thieneman, and Freeling all falling to us (honestly any of the three is a A+) but the WR and S positions are much deeper than the LT position in this draft.  We got the LT w/ the most upside at 19.  Mauigoa played RT in college and some think he is a guard in the nfl.  Spano played RT in college and some think he is a guard in the NFL due to short arms.  Blake Miller played RT in college and is not as good as Freeling.  Proctor is a true LT but his ability to handle quick edge's worries me (see Icky).  Freeling is a true LT and a gifted pass protector.  Many think he has a very high ceiling and will benefit from not having to start right away.  This is how you build a franchise.

      After watching Cam get killed for years behind a bad Oline and having to watch the 2021 and 2023 Olines I will never complain about this team putting resources into that spot.  We got a true LT who could really push Rasheed Walker for the day 1 job. Go back and watch Iceky's draft profile from 2022 and all the talk was Ickey would be an all-pro guard in a zone blocking scheme, but he could play LT in a gap power run scheme. That's why Ickey looked really good when Wilks took over and we just started running gap run plays and just mauled people up front but under Canales we've been more of a zone running team. Ickey can survive at LT with his pass blocking but his true strength will always be his ability to just move guys in the run game and that's a skill set that's better used at guard.  Take another OT later on day 3 to learn from Moton to take over RT in a couple of years and let Walker and Freeling battle it out for the day 1 LT job then next offseason trade one of Hunt of Lewis and let Ickey move inside to guard.
