Good call.

I was disappointed the first time I saw the movie too, bro. I had just finished reading the book…I still had stardust in my eyes. What a friggin’ amazing read. The movie moved stuff around, left characters out, yet, after a couple more viewings, I started to see that Nichols really managed to keep the spirit of the original source material. In large part because of the brilliant casting of some of the best dead-pan comics available. I love Newhart as Maj. Major Major Major and especially Alan Arkin as Yossarian…and there’s Orson Welles, man

Maybe give it another go?




Ok, you guys convinced me to give Catch-22 another shot.
