re: Agree or disagree: Christoper Nolan is the most overrated director of the 21st century

Posted by illuminatic on 4/8/26 at 10:36 am to RollTide1987

I think he's possibly the best technical director our time and love his preference of using practical effects when he can. He approaches movies like a science which I can appreciate, even if it sometimes comes across as mechanical.

My only major critique is that a lot of his dialogue and transitions feel stilted. He's especially guilty of relying on expository monologues to move the plot along or hammer home the underlying theme. He still makes some of my favorite movies and his worst movie is just as good as the "best" movies coming out recently.

He likes acting and money. He dislikes the Hollywood culture. You're confused by this?

re: Who is your Travis Etienne Jr Comparison?

Posted by illuminatic on 3/10/26 at 10:55 pm to Chad504boy

I honestly see a lot of Mark Ingram. Neither are burners, but are fast enough to break a long run. They are both one cut RBs and effective in the screen game. They have a similar upright running style. Both listed at 215, Etienne is an inch taller.

re: Shough’s age argument

Posted by illuminatic on 1/4/26 at 4:57 pm to Lester Earl

The Bears and Patriots were 4 or 5 win teams last year. So were the Jags. Things happen fast when the right people are in the building.

We aren't the Jets or Giants. The Saints are 1 good off-season away from being competitive again. It also doesn't hurt that the NFC South as a whole is down during the rebuild.

re: Shough vs. Rattler

To be accurate in this comparison figure in Rattler with 2 different HC's and 2 different OC's. Saying they both played from the same deck is simply not accurate.

How does that matter if they were both learning a new offense in the same offseason? Should we consider that Shough has had 5 different coaches and coordinators in the last 6 years?

re: We heard all throughout the Rattler era

But Moore is still a bad coach and the talent is lacking. A great example of how bad of a coach Moore is was running a play with 9 seconds with Rattler at QB instead of just kicking. The snap could have went over his head or anything could have happened. He’s supposed to be an offensive mind and his situational play calling is horrible.

It's not college or HS. Professionals are expected to be able to snap the ball and throw it out of bounds. You can't call a game based on the worst possible outcome of every play. That's just playing scared and is exactly when those types of mistakes happen.

I imagine watching football for some of you is like watching a movie in a different language. You can kinda figure out the general plot and the main character's objective, but everything else is just noise. Any nuance or subtext is lost and all you have left to form an opinion is if the ending was the result you expected and how it made you feel.

re: Saints sign Cade York, Grupe to be released

Posted by illuminatic on 11/25/25 at 5:01 pm to GRIZZ

You're right. It's better to do nothing.

This isn't directed at you, but this site is overrun with this weird loser mentality on nearly every board. Makes me wonder if it's a Louisiana thing or if it's everywhere.

You can tell by the way some people post that they genuinely love when any of our teams suck. I guess it takes the sting out of whatever they are currently failing at.

NFL pageantry outside of the Super Bowl is an absolute shitshow compared to CFB. Watching NFL is boring compared to college football.

My wife says the same thing.
