M*A*S*H

Pretty Bird and I watched this Altman masterpiece the other night while trying to fall asleep. I hadn't seen this movie in a little while so obviously it kept me from falling asleep as opposed to something that helped me unwind. Jack Bauer's Dad, Viper, Odo, Elliot Gould, and Radar are all brilliant in the movie. I've enjoyed or at least respected every single Altman film I've seen but this is far and way my favorite. I love that the script writer wanting nothing to do with the film after he saw it, Altman apparently wrote most of it on site and then they ad libbed the rest. I'm sure he didn't mind picking up his Oscar a few months later or attaching Oscar winning writer to his resume.
