I love how they end it with M*A*S*H. When is Catch 22 going to be put out on DVD?

It already is!! Just $10 at Amazon...

It's an Excellent DVD too... There's a Director's Commentary & everything. You really gotta get this DVD. The Director lets You in on alot of subliminal "secrets" in the Movie. Secrets that You would never notice otherwise...

Like the scene with Bob Newhart & Norman Fell in Major Major's Office. Notice that the Pictures on the wall CHANGE as Bob Newhart walks around. Ha! Ha! Very bizarre & I never noticed it before until Director Mike Nichols mentioned it. There's other wierd stuff mentioned too... Digger

That was a strange movie. :?

Has anyone read the novel? And how does it compare to the movie?

I read it twice and worked on the movie for 5 months and I still think don't like it, but it payed good. I like the Mad comics better

Let's just say that the movie keeps rolling when you get confused. The book took me forever to get through. The book is like a mystery where you try to figure out who done it, except you are trying to untwist the story instead. The book is MUCH more complicated than the movie. Next time I read it I may make a flow chart of the relationships between the characters. You can probably read the book ten times and get something new each time.

I have never read a book like Catch-22, and have never seen a movie like Catch-22. You must stay engaged in the movie or else it is only a collection of cool flying scenes.

"Let's just say that the movie keeps rolling when you get confused."

Ha! Ha! Yeah.... "Dazed & Confused"
I blurilly remember back during My High School days. My Friends & I would get completely STONED out of Our minds after class, run home & watch "CATCH 22". Ha! Ha! For some reason, it was Our favorite film to watch while intoxicated.
It all makes complete sense when You're wasted. The more trashed You are, the more You understand it.
Don't forget, it was made in the late 60's... Digger

stoney you said you worked on the movie? what did you do for it.. just curious. i met one of the pilots last year while at an airshow with the pacific prowler, which was in it and a camera ship. if you look close enough and slow the film down you are suppose to be able to see the camera nose when they show the flight line full of 25's but i have yet to get the dvd or see it sinc ei heard this. anyone check it out to see if its true?

I was a co-pilot and flew with 4 of the pilots, including one flight with Frank Tallman. Was in Mexico for 5 months. There were 17 flyable B-25s in the movie. Ran into 3 of the other co-pilots at OSH last year, first time to see 2 of them in 37 years, how we've changed.

At the CAF hangar in the 1980s, FRANK TALLMAN was asked about his best and worst aerial stunts...

He noted two for his WORST which stuck with me:
The takeoff scene of the B-25s in CATCH 22...he said it was his suicidal decision to have launched the planes so close behind each other to get in the air with all of the twisted winds from previous planes.

The crash into the stands in THE GREAT WALDO PEPPER...as he floated over the balsa stands and crashed into the REAL hardwood stands.

Cheers,
David
