March 30, 20251 yr This evening on TCM I watched the movie Catch22. I never read the book but I'm sure I saw it when it was released in 1970. I was 37 years old then and probably thought it was a funny film. 52 years later I wonder what I saw in it. Disjointed and too slapstick and just plain silly. I watched it all the way through but I simply didn't like it despite the all star cast. Noel The tires are worn. The shocks are shot. The steering is wobbly. But the engine still runs fine.
March 30, 20251 yr I read the book when I was about 13 or 14. Never seen the film (sorry movie). Jude BradleyBeech Baron: Uh, Tower, verify you want me to taxi in front of the 747?ATC: Yeah, it's OK. He's not hungry.

March 30, 20251 yr Saw the movie when I was eighteen and thought it was stupid even then. Of course being an Army brat I hated anything that berated the military even during the anti Vietnam Nam war fad. Reminds me if you wanted to get on the bad side of my Dad let him catch you watching Hogans Hero’s or MASH. He would say they beat starved froze even executed some of those men and Hollywood wants you to think it was funny party. Vic green
