Henry Jones senior. The father of Indiana Jones, aka Henry Jones junior. They named the dog Indiana. Junior has a lot of fond memories of that dog.
Henry senior is dead. Sean Connery is dead. Harrison Ford the silent actor is dead. Give Henry Jones a movie. You can't because he's double-dead.
Like Kang/Immortus/Rama-Tut/Dr. Doom AND a Tony Stark-clone, depending on whatever ancient AVENGERS comics you've read. I hate myself for typing this. Tommy Lee Jones was right. ''There's no way outta this place!!!''
I had no idea that there was a Harrison Ford before
the Harrison Ford.
I'm honestly kind of shocked that Ford and Cruise have never done any movies. With as popular as they are, you'd at some point somebody would have brought them together, it's almost guaranteed to be a huge box office record breaker.
I agree. And Cruise could play a long-lost younger Jones brother instead, or even (GASP) a second-billed over-the-title villain. Why the heck not?
Henry Jones. Character actor.
That I believe he figured out....I hope.
Schrodinger's Cat says hi.
Now THAT I'm going to look up!
M*A*S*H... light-hearted and goofy?
Only when an ultra-serious subplot like Mako taking a prisoner away for execution was then followed by a B-story comedy wrap-up...sometimes featuring Klinger. Later MASH episodes simply ran both in parallel directions, but the earlier eps brilliantly stirred the serious and silly moments together.
M*A*S*H was the original dramedy, and still the best. It's a crime against television that the networks insisted upon that canned laughter laugh track. At least there was no laugh track in the operating room.
And none in the entire episode titled ''O.R.'' The final episode or two left the tracks out as well. Two other fifth-year excellent episodes with Frank and Radar on a night bus ride, and the soldier with delusions of Christdom were also laugh-free. They were filmed consecutively. I can see a great point for not yukking up the second. But being so conditioned to the track, the lack of it on the bus ride still makes it an oddity for me. And adds a few half-seconds of quiet between the actors' dialogue.
I'm trying to imagine M*A*S*H as a three camera show performed in front of a live studio audience .
You'd probably get dead silence...even in some of the comedy bits.
Thank you for this, I do not like dramedies.
Monk is the exception. According to Wikipedia, MASH is a half-hour sitcom.
Why's everyone acting like it's The Sopranos level serious?
That question was sufficiently-answered before your above post.
Because it can be. It has an intensity at times to it that is deeply heartfelt, emotional and moving.
I rewatch MASH every year with my wife and there are still scenes that make me weep despite seeing it multiple times. It has the dramatic tone of the wonderful human adventure and all that involves. It is far more serious that a cursory glance at a cold text description would offer.
I recall one reviewer noting that the best episode of Season 1 that set the future tone of the show was "Yankee Doodle Doctor" which showed both the antics and then the deep seriousness about how war and the costs it inflicts.
It is the best example of exploring humanity. Better than Star Trek, Stargate, or others.
Both TOS and MASH are in my top ten TV shows. TOS has fallen to fifth place, though it's still four slots above MASH.
I don't care. If you can explain it, then explain it. I have zero patience for games.
Then why keep playing them while pretending you're not?
No.
MASH is probably the most honestly human show, in the history of American TV. No one gives a shit what Wikipedia says, it is largely edited by dufuses with too much time on their hands.
Doofuses. My dad was a proofreader for the GPO.
