Look, mother, I want to go to work in one hour. We are the Pros from Dover and we figure to crack this kid's chest and get out to golf course before it gets dark. So you go find the gas-passer and you have him pre-medicate this patient. Then bring me the latest pictures on him. The ones we saw must be 48 hours old by now. Then call the kitchen and have them rustle us up some lunch. Life moves pretty fast. If you don't stop and look around once in a while, you could miss it.

Robert Altman hated the TV series. He said something to the effect of the TV series' producers made the show into everything the movie was not. | |||

[QUOTE]Originally posted by parabellum: Robert Altman hated the TV series. He said something to the effect of the TV series' producers made the show into everything the movie was not Dr. H. Richard Hornberger the author of the book felt the same way, especially Alan Alda's version of Hawkeye. | |||

That might explain why I recall thinking the movie was great, but I absolutely hated the series--particularly Alan "Smarmy" Alda  "America is at that awkward stage. It's too late to work within the system,,,, but too early to shoot the bastards." -- Claire Wolfe "If we let things terrify us, life will not be worth living." -- Seneca the Younger, Roman Stoic philosopher | |||

Hornberger used the pseudonym Hooker for his book, the Hawkeye character based on him and his experiences in Korea.

https://www.mirror.co.uk/3am/t...ed-anti-war-22340438 BTW, I loved Altman's film. "I’m not going to read Time Magazine, I’m not going to read Newsweek, I’m not going to read any of these magazines; I mean, because they have too much to lose by printing the truth"- Bob Dylan, 1965 | |||

MASH the TV series was okay at first but got pretty predictable and lame at the end.... and I agree, nothing like the Movie. Altman was a genius at throwing a lot at you at one time. My Native American Name: "Runs with Scissors" | |||

Uh...COL, fayuh is fayuh. If I nail Hotlips and punch Hawkeye, can I go home? "If you’re a leader, you lead the way. Not just on the easy ones; you take the tough ones too…” – MAJ Richard D. Winters (1918-2011), E Company, 2nd Battalion, 506th Parachute Infantry Regiment, 101st Airborne "Woe to those who call evil good, and good evil... Therefore, as tongues of fire lick up straw and as dry grass sinks down in the flames, so their roots will decay and their flowers blow away like dust; for they have rejected the law of the Lord Almighty and spurned the word of the Holy One of Israel." - Isaiah 5:20,24 | |||
