Happy Birthday Alan Alda!

Alphonso Joseph D'Abruzzo (28 January 1936):

There are people who think that the only thing that separates humans from the rest of the animals is their ability to laugh. I’m not so sure anything separates us from the rest of the animals except perhaps our extreme egotism that leads us to think that they’re animals and we’re not. But I do notice that when people are laughing, they’re generally not killing one another. So keep laughing yourself and if you can get other people to join you in your laughter, you may help keep this shaky boat afloat.

Jan. 28: Happy 83rd birthday to the actor, director, writer, comedian, humanitarian, and podcaster Alphonso D’Abruzzo, better known as Alan Alda. (Of course I had to slip in the Mephisto Waltz picture.) With your tremendous energy, the love you have poured into your career seems infinite, and it’s amazing to see your fans love you back. This is said with tongue in cheek, but it’s also perfectly true: where would we be without you?

mulcahy joins hawkeye in the OR and can’t think of something funny to say to him in time and then thinks of something after Hawkeye has walked away and literally RUNS AFTER HIM and stands on his tippy toes in order to say a dad joke at him, receiving lukewarm praise

as cohesive a list as possible of the movies referenced in the titles of m*a*s*h episodes! NOT! in ORDER! some of the references as well are of completely different mediums but have been squeezed in by convenience of a movie existing to discuss it. as a disclaimer, some of these can be construed as reaches or mere coincidences. they can be presumed as a reference so long as it precedes the shooting of an episode! and as a final addendum, read the notes!!

feel free to submit possible references yourself :) and even follow my lb if you’re inclined lol

I made this list on Letterboxd of the movies shown at the 4077th — I feel as if it covered most of the bases, but if anyone remembers any other movies, let me know!
