The opening to Full Metal Jacket hasn’t, uh, hasn’t aged well.

Can i ask everyone to please watch the movie M * A * S * H in honour of Donald Sutherland passing… And share then share your experience here.

Im very curious how it will be received, i wont be surprised by some problematic aspects, but it was an impactful movie (and tv show)

I think they dealt with subject matter that might be important in this current era

If you can then watch it without the laugh track first.

I’m not that knowledgeable on either, but if I remember rightly you also have the choice of watching the TV Show as it was broadcast in the USA or as it was broadcast in the UK (and maybe elsewhere) - the main difference being that the USA one has a laugh track added.

I may have some of the details wrong, but just FYI.

I think it’s a personal choice, or at least i didn’t have any specific reason not to watch the movie first. They are a fair bit different but if you watch the series first that’s a lot of Alan alda to unsee if you watch the movie afterwards so i think it’s better for your movie experience if watch it before the series, and it was released first so there’s that

I have problems with a lot of scripted television now when I used to love it as a kid.

Hell, I have problems with some parts of TNG because there science has progressed so much since then. THE EXOCOMS ARE SPECIAL BECAUSE THEY HAVE SAPIENCE, THEY AREN’T LIFE!
