"What's the AFI project, you ask? For more information, or if you just enjoy my bemused ramblings, read here: http://www.spout.com/blogs/pip pin06/archive/2008/3/1/25756.a spx M*A*S*H is on the following AFI lists: The Original Top 100 (#56)100 Funniest Films (#7)100 Greatest Film Songs (#66 - "Suicide is Painless")The Revised Top 100 (#54) As a child of the 80s, it probably comes as no great shock that I was at least somewhat, if passingly, familiar with the TV show starring Alan Alda that was based on this film more than I was familiar with the film itself. While I don't remember much of the TV show, as I never watched it with much interest (it was more for adults, after all), and as I haven't picked it up again on TV Land or on some similar syndicated television Mecca, I figured I wouldn't have too many preconceived notions or influences that would color my ability to appreciate the film, which is far less situational and, in some ways, more stream of consciousness than its off ...

"I guess I just didn't get it. I like Robert Altman, I like his movies and I like a good majority of the actors in this film...I guess I just didn't like this film as a whole. Don't get me wrong - there are some very funny parts in this film and it's a very subtle humor...I don't think I cared for the execution. Hmphf. I'll definitely need to see this again, but as it stands right now, I'm pretty neutral about it. "

"This blog entry is part of my “movie year countdown”. To read more about that check out my first Spout filmblog entryShort CutsI'd seen two other Altman movies before this. I loved The Player but M*A*S*H was not quite as great as I was hoping. I knew I was taking a risk on a movie nearly 3 hours long, but luckily it was fantastic.While they are definitely two different approaches, the movie uses it's huge cast with unusual connections successfully in the same way as Magnolia. I think that Magnolia is the improvement, but in a way you should not compare them. I'd never read any of Raymond Carver's writings, but would be interested after this.As a movie fan though I think the most initially overwhelming and impressive thing about this movie is the cast list. As you are watching the opening titles and the names just keep coming at you like an unstoppable barrage you aren't quite sure what to think. A lot of movies with a huge ca "

"Before there was Alan Alda and Harry Morgan there was Donald Sutherland and Eliot Gould. The movie that spawned the TV show is quite amusing. A comedic war movie…works for me. "

"In a discussion group recently the topic of 'book adaptations' has been brought up, and while I was watching this last night it occurred to me that this one is another good example of a successful 'book to movie' transformation that is neither too literal of a rote retelling, and stands on its own as a film.Caught the final third of this one a couple weekends ago while flipping channels, and then watched the rest of the movie yesterday evening. Not the first time I'd seen it (I've actually lost count how many times), and it struck me how very fresh and innovative it still seems 30 plus years after the fact. There wasn't really anything like it seen before, with its overlapping dialog, meandering storyline and counter-cultural viewpoints.Those brought up on the television series may find the flavor a little hard to digest, no neatly tied up plotlines, no laugh track, a subtler brand of humor.Gould and Sutherland are a great pairing, and would go on to cos ...
