M*A*S*H was on Movies! tonight. It's a neat movie. It's kind of a sketch comedy movie, where there really isn't a plot, per se, just a series of little vignettes, but it is nicely done. And it's interesting because...IMO the TV show was crap. It started out OK but it very quickly got preachy and woke. But watching the movie stirred up memories of how some of the early episodes stayed pretty close to the movie.
Wild, how many people are in this. It was also a demonstration of why I can no longer be a "Jeopardy!" contestant. Because my brain is too slow. Donald Sutherland as Hawkeye. Elliot Gould as Trapper John. I got the Frank Burns actor, but it escapes me now. Colors. The Great Santini. The original True Grit. --Robert Duvall! (Had to look it up this time). Recognized Duke but couldn't place him. Tom Skerritt. Probably first saw him in Top Gun, so it was a little like looking at a "Deliverance" era Burt Reynolds--"where do I know this guy from?! [checks Wiki] Ah, that's it." Odo as Father Mulcahey. I think I might have eventually came...no, I wouldn't have gotten Tom Skerritt. But as much as I knew it was Odo, I never would've gotten Rene Auberjonois.
Also interesting that, apparently you now need to bleep "spearchucker" when referring to a black person--even if they competed in the javelin. Mods, please #### out "spearchucker."
