Dear James Eason, part 2,
How much of "Poltergeist" did Tobe Hooper actually direct? Was he really just filling in for Spielberg a few days here, a few days there, because of scheduling conflicts with "E.T."? I ask because "Poltergeist" looks a damn sight more like a Spielberg movie than it does like "Texas Chainsaw Massacre" or "The Funhouse" or the television movie of "Salem's Lot."
What's up with Donald Sutherland's man-perm back in the 1970's? I mean, did anyone actually think Julie Christy would stay in a disfunctional marriage with a guy who has a man-perm ("Don't Look Now")? Why didn't he just keep his haircut from "M.A.S.H"?
Why is everyone so mean to Hotlips in "M.A.S.H."? I mean, she's kind of a pain in the ass, and a little bit of a hippocrite hooking up with Frank Burns and all, but ultimately wasn't she just doing her job? Was she really what Hawkeye calls an "Army Clown"? The Korean War was a war, not a key party. Wasn't it kind of mean when they knocked the curtain down while she took a shower?
