actually I do love the romantic comedies where an insane woman shows up to ruin a mans’ life, but NOT in the “manic pixie dream girl saves man from mediovre life” way, I mean in the way of “this man has been clinging onto his abillity to appear normal in public by his fingernails and then she came in and accidentally set the piano on fire” way. I can not stress enough how vital it is in a screwball comedy that he is insane also. everyone else in the movie should have to fear their combined power.

RIP Ryan O'Neal (1941-2023) - Hollywood star from classics such as Love Story (1970), Paper Moon (1973) and Kubrick's Barry Lyndon (1975) has passed today. After the huge hit of Love Story which earned him Oscar and Golden Globe nominations, O'Neal became a popular leading man in films like What's Up Doc? (1972), Nickelodeon (1976), one of the countless stars on WWII epic A Bridge Too Far (1977), Walter Hill's action The Driver (1978), Oliver's Story (1978), which is the sequel to Love Story. In the 1980's, his career starts to decline but he still played the lead in Partners (1982), Fever Pitch (1985), Tough Guys Don't Dance (1987) - with an infamous scene that later on became a classic meme; and Chances Are (1989). Other credits include Faithful (1996), Zero Effect (1998), People I Know (2002), Malibu's Most Wanted (2003) and Terrence Malick's Knight of Cups (2015), one of his final credits.

just some m*a*s*h thoughts:
6x20, What's Up Doc?
Margaret thinks she's pregnant in this episode. I've been watching m*a*s*h since I was a kid, so I'm 99.9% sure this is the first piece of media I ever saw where a woman wasn't absolutely THRILLED at the idea of having kids. Margaret doesn't want a baby, she and her partner are having issues, and she knows a baby isn't going to help. She also will be demobbed and sent home, and Margaret has always always prioritized her career. She's a Major! She's Head Nurse!
And I'm just so grateful for her.
For an episode in 1978, for an episode set in the mid 50s, it feels almost progressive.
The word abortion is never mentioned. Margaret turns out to not be pregnant, just late. It's interesting, because it's a few years after Roe V. Wade (rip). In my head, Hawkeye would have helped Margaret with ending her pregnancy, but it was easier for the writers to write it the way they did.
I love you, Margaret Houlihan. Thank you for knowing what you want.

(Sa)Tuneday Supercade!
Imagine it's 31st July 1993. After scouring the kitchen for a plate of your preferred breakfast, you scurry out to take prime position on the lounge. Wrapped within the blankets pulled from your bed, there's no better way to spend a cool, lazy morning than accompanied by the low hum of the adjacent television set. Flicking between channels, there's plenty of choice from cartoons to cool tunes. As you continue munching down, something flashes across the screen. A flurry of new and exciting faces accompanied by beloved heroes of old. Over the subsequent two hours, the Australian Saturday morning landscape had changed, with the grand premiere of "What's Up Doc".
Having successfully wrangled the rights to Warner Brothers' library of Looney Tunes cartoons from their traditional home on Seven, Channel Nine had grand plans to celebrate the 50th anniversary of everyone's favourite wascally wabbit. Their initial attempt, aptly titled "The Bugs Bunny Show", was hosted by Sophie Lee and aired weekdays beginning on 4th June 1990. In spite of drawing strong ratings from kids and parents with heavy emphasis on Merrie Melodies shorts (and the occasional Real Ghostbusters, another show poached from Seven), it wasn't to last, with the final episode airing 7th February 1992.
But Nine weren't willing to give up just yet. They switched tactics and set out to challenge then-juggernaut Saturday Disney, kicking off "What's Up Doc" at 8:30am. With Danielle Fairclough as the first in a rotating roster of hosts, viewers saw the continuation of popular series including Tiny Toon Adventures and Beetlejuice, along with an extra helping of new shows such as (and certainly not limited to) Taz-Mania, Animaniacs, Free Willy, Freakazoid, Superman: The Animated Series, and Histeria.
Yet it was Batman: The Animated Series which truly broke the mould. Riding high on the unprecedented success of Tim Burton's live-action films, the show took everything popular from Bob Kane and Bill Finger's beloved Caped Crusader and elevated them to a new level. The action more intense, the heroes more nuanced, the villains more three dimensional. And they in turn went on to influence and inspire their comic counterparts. Airing in its original production order, the series launched that same day and ran an unbroken 65 weeks, swiftly spawning an expansive toyline and slew of matching merchandise.
From Sophie Lee to Lauren Phillips, Andy Sunderland and everyone in between, "What's Up Doc" cemented the Looney Tunes' home on Nine. Its popularity led to a return of weekday afternoon cartoons, and later spinoffs for the next generation of fans including "The Cool Room" And "Kids' WB", each with their own unique hosts and lineups of animated adventures. The relationship between network and studio remained a strong one for just shy of two decades until it all came crashing down; with Nine choosing not to renew their exclusive license, the final "Kids' WB", and Looney Tunes on Australian TV in general, walked into the sunset on 29th November 2019.

5 Movies For Fans of Ranma 1/2
If any of y’all like me grew up watching Ranma 1/2 and want to watch a movie that scratches the same itch, here are my top recommendations.
1. Some Like It Hot (1959)
Two musicians, Joe and Jerry, accidentally witness The Saint Valentine’s Day Massacre. In order to hide from from the mafia they crossdress their way into a girls band performing in Florida. In Florida, while one of them flirts with a millioinaire, the other impersonates a millionaire in order to impress the band’s lead singer, Sugar, all while continuing to hide from the mafia, leading to cases of mistaken identity and general chaos. CW: mild violence, mild period typical homophobia, transphobia (specifically surrounding the concept of men dressing up as women to sneak into women’s spaces) alcohol
2. What’s Up Doc? (1972)
Four guests with identical bags stay overnight in a hotel. Mr. Smith carries a bag of illegal stolen top secret government files, and he is being followed by Mr. Jones, a government agent attempting to steal the contents back. The quiet Dr. Bannister who is attending a musical conference has a bag of igneous rocks and is staying with his overbearing fiancee Eunice. He is simultaneously being romantically pursued by Judy Maxwell, a girl who is incredibly smart but keeps getting kicked out of colleges for her general disregard of rules, whose bag contains her underwear. Mrs. Van Hoskins’ bag contain her jewel collection, which the incompetent hotel employees are trying to steal. General antics ensue, and the chase scene follows Looney Tunes-esque logic. CW: mild violence, a few misogynistic jokes
3. The Wedding Banquet (1993)
Wai-Tung’s parents are ignorant of his partner Simon. They are desperate for their son to get married, and to pacify them and monetarily help Wei-Wei, a woman he has a tenous friendship with, he gets a marriage in name only to her. However his parents insist on throwing an extravagant party. This film is notably more serious in tone and subject matter than the previous ones, and focuses primarily on the relationships between the three main characters and Wai-Tung’s parents, and themes of found family and biological family. CW: rape, alcohol, homophobia, discussions of abortion.
4. Little Miss Sunshine (2006)
Another more seriously movie, this film follows one family’s journey across the country to support their youngest daughter Olive, an average 9 year old girl who wishes to one day be a child beauty queen. The family includes an overworked mother, her gay academic brother who is recovering from a suicide attempt, a father who works as a motivational speaker, a son who has taken a vow of silence until he becomes a fighter pilot, and a grandfather who was evicted from a retirement home for snorting heroin. As the roadtrip continues everyone faces challenges, but are brought together for their love for Olive. There are no romantic plot lines in this film, but the humor still reminds me of Takahashi gags. CW: suicide attempt, mentions of suicide, drug usage, homophobic remarks
5. 10 Things I Hate About You (1999)
This well known remake of Shakespeare’s The Taming of the Shrew takes place in an American high school in the 90s. New kid Cameron instantly falls in love with the popular Bianca, but learns her father will not allow her to date anyone until her famously grumpy older sister, Kat, also goes on a date. While competing with wealthy, attractive and vapid rival Joey, Cameron and his best friend convince him to pay school rebel Patrick to date Kat. As always, love quadrangles, lies, and chaos ensue. CW: misogyny, alcohol

SO6E19: What's Up Doc
In this episode, the A and the B plot take off from the same moment in OR, and go in very different directions. The A plot is, Hawkeye noting that Margaret seems unusually irritatable in OR - BJ is trying to operate on Lieutenant Tom Martinson, he's shoving the mask away, going "No!" and Margaret moves in and positions the mask to the man goes under, telling the nurse off for not doing her job right.
BJ says: "Don't start a fight, or we'll be sent to the principal's office."
While Margaret is holding the mask over Martinson's face, BJ's helpful response is "Hey, Margaret, take it easy. She just doesn't like a guy who grabs."
Margaret tells the nurse off, and BJ tells Margaret "As an officer and a gentleman, you should forgive and forget."
Hawkeye's move is to follow Margaret and check in with her, find out why she's so irritable, and this is all good stuff, but let's follow the Martinson plot while Hawkeye is focussing on Margaret.
BJ and Charles are sharing post-off duty: BJ is examining the patient he was operating on when Margaret lost her temper: Lieutenant Tom Martinson.
"How's that shoulder feel, Martinson? I think I did a bang-up job on your bang-up even if I do say so myself."
Martinson asks unhappily "You're gonna send me back up there, aren't ya, Doc?"
BJ says "You're ambulatory now. *checks wristwatch* You'll be out of here by noon Thursday."
BJ adds "You're lucky. That's when our rates change."
Hawkeye isn't there. Hawkeye is focussing his entire attention on Margaret. BJ - I think - is trying to be Hawkeye. Hawkeye would crack a joke to cheer up a depressed patient in post-op: so BJ does. And when the patient doesn't laugh, BJ laughs for him: a very forced laugh.
Martinson rolls his eyes at BJ.
What would Hawkeye's reaction have been to a patient rolling his eyes at a joke?
BJ's reaction is: "I don't remember. Did I remove your sense of humor?"
Martinson's response to BJ? "
"Knock it off, Doc. This morning I was leading and retreated smack into a minefield. That shrapnel you removed from my shoulder is what's left of my sergeant's helmet. He was right next to me when the mine went up."
BJ reacts:
Martinson says "I am not going back. I won't go back."
BJ says: "I know how you must feel."
BJ, apparently realising that Hawkeye-style jokes aren't going to work, sticks his hands in his pockets, and Martinson says: "You think it's because I'm scared, don't you?"
BJ, attempting to be sympathetic: If you are, you're not alone, soldier."
BJ sits down. Martinson says "I am not a soldier. I never was a soldier. I thought R.O.T. C.would keep me out of active duty."
BJ's answer is "Should've read the fine print."
Martinson points out he's an art history major, and when he was drafted, he assumed the army would put him somewhere relevant - just as they did BJ.
BJ quips "I think the marines are the only ones with an art history division."
This DOES NOT HELP. Martinson points out that an art history degree taught him nothing about leading men into action, and his inexperience got his sergeant killed.
BJ: "Look, Martinson, you can't blame yourself for that."
And Martinson, quite reasonably, says "Get out of here, will you? Just leave me alone."
So BJ does.
Charles cannot resist a little prodding, but the fact is, Charles' is right: "Bedside manner failing you, Hunnicutt?"
- "Lay off, Winchester."
"What's this, "Attila the Pun" has lost his sense of good humor? "
BJ goes back later to try again.
"Look, Tom. I hate this place, this war, just as much as you do. But there really isn't a whole hell of a lot we can do about it except cope with the situation as best we can."
BJ adds "That or rent a room in Leavenworth."
That look on Martinson's face.
BJ's solution isn't a bad one. Hawkeye would likely have come to the same conclusion and made the same suggestion. But not in that form and not with that kind of visible reluctance - BJ literally coughs and raises his fist to his mouth before suggesting:
"I can recommend you be sent to Tokyo for psychiatric observation."
To which Martinson responds - irrationally, but BJ's way of introducing it wasn't great either - "I'm not letting headhunters get ahold of me and put in my records that I'm nuts.'This is to certify that Tom Martinson, Associate Professor of Art History - went bonkers in Korea'?"
BJ: "They're not there to brand you. They're there to help you."
"Will you slow down?"
Charles steps in, evidently believing that as a fellow Ivy Leaguer - Martinson graduated from Yale - he can better help a patient BJ has managed to antagonise. BJ gives up. "Be my guest."
Charles instructs BJ: "Don't - Don't go away. I think it's important you observe this."
The expression on BJ's face. It's fairly clear he has emotionally signed off on Martinson and now just wants to see Charles fail, too.
Charles Emerson Winchester III, Harvard graduate, is speaking to Tom Martinson, Yale graduate, and BJ is only amused.
"I could tell at once that you were a man of education and breeding. I guess the army is no place for a couple of - Ivy Leaguers like us Is it, Lieutenant?"
Charles is the one who hands Martinson the backpack with his gun, and who nearly gets shot, but BJ is - having attempted to be Hawkeye without Hawkeye's unshakeable concern - primarily responsible for goading Martinson to the point where he decides taking a hostage to get out is the only option. Charles is only the last straw: BJ loaded it on.
Tom Martinson: "I'll shoot this man if I have to."
BJ: "Okay. Not that okay."
