What to watch when Nova serves the Empire

[DrBB]

All I can say--well, with one exception--is FUCK THIS:

Nova  
Life and Death in the War Zone
60 mins.   
Following the personnel of two U.S. Combat Support Hospitals (their informal name: CaSHes) as they treat the wounded in Iraq. The equipment is certainly more sophisticated than at the Korean War mobile hospitals made famous by the TV series “M*A*S*H,” but the life and death challenges faced by the doctors and nurses of the 10th and 21st CaSH units are the same as they treat U.S. military personnel, as well as enemy combatants and Iraqi civilians.
Rating: TV-PG
Content: Violence
Release Year: 2004

The exception being WATCH THIS INSTEAD (of that or anything else)

My Man Godfrey
TCM (whatever channel that is in your cable universe)

On right now!!!

Because this is bar none my absolute favorite screwball comedy from the golden age of same, the 1930s.

On edit: Why? Cuz it is an art deco orgy, has the greatest intro credits sequence of all time, and is just absolutely brilliantly funny. Also political, a bit.

1. I love movies from the 30s and 40s!

I just got Grand Hotel in the mail today. I've not had a chance to watch it but look forward to it.

Better choice to watch a 1930s era comedy rather than more propaganda.

2. "Take a look at that ditzy old gal with the goat!"

"I have had to look at her for thirty years--she's my wife."

"Oh! Terribly sorry."

"How do you think I feel?"

4. Maybe the Nova could be a good thing

After all, the more the American public sees the needless suffering "over there" maybe they'll start demanding that the GIs be returned home.
