re: Best/Worst southern accents you've seen in TV or movies?

Posted by LSUFreek on 4/29/24 at 3:48 pm

NOLA accents are closer to NYC/NJ accents... ...yet Hollywood has mysteriously always given NOLA characters "Suthun" accents like they were from a plantation in "Rowl-lee, Nawth Care-oh-line-ahh" but yet will still give those same characters cajun add-on dialogue, like "Fais do-do" or "Mon, Cher...

I really just want them to add a tall-ish defender/rebounder. I don't care if they come from JUCO, at this point. Offense is a bonus. There's still plenty of ballers & bucket-makers on this team, so I don't see that as a requirement....

Posted by LSUFreek on 4/29/24 at 1:21 pm

I'm hard-pressed to recall the last time I watched a pregame show, particularly on CBS or Fox. The vague insight/analysis combined with the fake guffawing is unbearable. I get more matchup insight from pro/amateur youtuber accounts. 90% of the talking heads & color commentators from the 80s &...

re: As gold as it still is, could Starship Toopers be remade and improved?

Posted by LSUFreek on 4/28/24 at 10:41 am

Movies, where a significant part of its charm is from campiness, shouldn't be remade. They tried it with "serious" remakes of Total Recall, Robocop & Evil Dead and they all were mind-numbingly boring, despite the "upgrade" in SFX/CGI/sets/costumes/cameras/etc......

This really was a great draft. Good value from top to bottom. Unfortunately, almost every prospect selection was used to fill an acute need to avoid from getting decidedly worse. (Fuaga for Ram, Kool Aid for Latt, Spencer for Haener/Peterman/Mond, etc.) For the first time in a while, I can't s...
