Implications of the song Suicide is Painless in M*A*S*H (1972-1983): a vaguely melancholy song with an edge of dark humor that suggests a parallel to the way our protagonist feels about his own life and his role in the military.

Implications of the song Suicide is Painless in M*A*S*H (1970): actually post cancelled, I was gonna try to explain that scene here but upon further reflection there is no combination of words that could accurately describe the vibe of that sequence of shots. I mean really what was up with that.

Watched the mash movie for the first time and here's my thoughts

Honestly, it was pretty good in my opinion, even as a fan of the TV show, I like the differences in the portrayal of the characters. The humor is pretty good, but different from the mash we all know. I don't like how sexist it is, especially in the treatment of Houlihan, and the nicknames for Jones and Mulcahy haven't aged well. There isn't one straightforward plot, but I do think it works for this, and it's a miracle ring lardner managed to cobble the book into a proper movie script. I wish they did keep two subplots they ultimately cut, the plot where General Hammond visits the 4077th and it's pretty similar to S1e4s chief surgeon who? And it was another plot from the book, I wish they kept in the plot about Ho-Jon getting drafted and subsequently injured, 1. Because it explains why the 4077th is trying so hard to win the game (because they're trying to raise money so Ho-Jon can go to college), even if it doesn't work out in the end and 2. Because it could've been potential for character development. I wish they kept the idea of multiple surgeons and other specialized doctors in the TV show, because it would be more realistic to have more surgeons than the four at a time we see in the show (they did initially have more surgeons early on, such as Sam Pak and Jones). Blake is more similar to potter rather than the shows Blake, more self assured and such, but still befuddled. I'm pretty sure McLean Stevenson requested to not have Blake be a military man and instead be drafted like the rest of them. Overall, it was a pretty good movie with its moments that haven't aged well. Honestly, I prefer the show (and the show has aged better tbh) but this was a pretty solid watch. 7.5/10
