Marching ass to war….

I’d never properly registered that M*A*S*H came out the same year as Kelly’s Heroes. That was a pretty good year for comedic and critical treatments of war, though obviously M*A*S*H is a much more serious film, while also being much funnier, and extremely more foul-mouthed than Kelly’s Heroes. And both feature Donald Sutherland. How sweet is that! As it’s Eliot Gould’s birthday today, going to try to rewatch M*A*S*H tonight, for maybe the… 20th time? who even knows at this point.

zerode

is an over-caffeinated and under-employed grad school dropout, aspiring leftwing intellectual and cultural studies academic, and cinéaste. Raised in San Francisco on classic film, radical politics, burritos and soul music, then set loose upon the world. He spends his time in coffee shops with his laptop and headphones, caffeinating and trying to construct a post-whatever life.

What's in a name... The handle "zerode" is a contraction of Zéro de Conduite, the title of Jean Vigo's 1933 movie masterpiece about schoolboy rebellion.
