MAS*H is great, and Batman is just great for comedy relief. :lol:

Speaking of animated materials…has anyone seen the animated darker version of SPAWN? A friend of mine has the 4-5 tape set. I loved it cause it was darker than the Batman movies.

SPAWN is great. The Batman movies werent that dark (except Returns) but they were really bad films, though entertaining movies (not that great in that aspect either). A new Batman is coming out that is like Batman: Year One, so it could potentially be a GOOD batman movie. we’ll see

Liberal spin? Please explain.

I dunno. I consider myself a comic book fan and the first two Batmans were pretty good. The other two after them were just impotent.

Anti-war.
Please, who isn’t until it’s the last option.
Anti-military.
Portraying everyone ranked above Hawkeye, BJ and Trapper as basically bloodthirsty, fools, idiots or insane(Col. Flagg, the insane Gen.[played by Harry Morgan pre-Col. Potter], the Korean Col.[?] just to name a few.

Of course they did personalize the idiotic, adulterous, drunken Col. Blake and the horse-loving old war-horse Col. Potter, as well as Maj. Winchester and Major Hoolihan.

Recall that MASH began it’s run in the fall of 1972 when the value of being anti-war had been pushed to the max by the liberal anti-war news media. So the CBS(?) network cashed in on it.

Lots of veterans see some value in MASH as it shows a little of the brutallity of war. But it is the human humor that I enjoy the most, not the military humor(though occassionally they get that right, too.)

Anti-war. Me thinks most shows/movies are anti-war. And I don’t think it’s a liberal/conservative issue either. Not all conservatives are bloodthirsty. :wink:

Actually, I think you may have a point on this one. :)

You dont have to be bloodthirsty to be pro-war. Im a prime example. And who the hell voted yes?
