Watched the first half of MASH for the first time since…well, it was perhaps junior high.  And I was reminded of what a crazy good film this really was.  [ed: amusing, a commercial for Stripes is playing in the background as I write this.]  And the wonderful thing is, it doesn’t discredit the show nor its cast.

I love a movie that starts with you in the middle, with limited introductions.  I imagined having seen the movie before the show, and it was pretty ballsy in my opinion, for just letting everyone do their thing as if you the audience have been serving with them, or at least a similar unit, for years.

Whenever I watch bold late 60’s/early 70’s flicks, I kinda lament on how unfortunate it is that our generation doesn’t exactly get the type of cinema that really has impact.  Sure, we can get powerful art like Slumdog (newest I could think of), but is it changing things?  Do you really…

Well, I have to go work.  The night has escaped me.  And directly after, I’ll be off to Virginia.  Sleep is for the weak.
