MASH sucks.

Episodic sex comedy that boomers pass off as subversive.

Thank you!

 Anna Faris is amazing, and I'm so there to see House Bunny solely because of her. 

You mean you like the film because you fancy Anna Faris?

I mean I'll give any movie a shot if Anna Faris is involved.  And I think she directed this one as well.

MASH (1970, Altman) sucks.
I agree. And that's saying something because MASH the TV show is my favorite show.

So glad I'm not the only one.  I still don't get why Catch-22 lost the 1970 battle of the war comedies based on cult novels.  The TV show is a much greater accomplishment than the film.

And while we're on Altman, I think that Nashville - while a good film - has not aged particularly well and has been overshadowed by any number of ensemble films made since that were inspired by it.  If I was around in 1975 and saw it then, I would be one of those people that worships it.  But I think that even Short Cuts is a better film than Nashville.

Nashville was a huge disappointment for me. Not just because of a its reputation, but its themes and subjects are right up my alley: music, politics, the 70s. What was with the car crash at the airport? I was cringing. 

I'm going to go a step further and hope the ceiling doesn't collapse over me head. I don't like Altman very much in general, and thinking back to Filmspotting #178, I would nominate him as the most overrated filmmaker in the history of cinema.

MASH is a dud, Nashville and Short Cuts are OKish, and the Player was completely boring other than the great opening and closing sequences. There I've said it.
