bloody fabulous!
that is all.
Is it available in the UK yet?
Where? When?
depends what you mean by available 😉
I watched the first episode, liked it, then got too busy to finish it. That's my plan for the weekend.
Spring on channel 4 is as much as I can find.
US internet release was 17th May
Trailers look absolutely brilliant! Looks like Mr Clooney has gone all out! My absolute favourtest book. Can't bloody wait for this!
Hmm I’ve watched 6 episodes and I’m not sure about it, I’m not sure really knows what it’s trying to be (the mix of stupid humour with “dark” humour and the brutality at the same time)
I haven’t read the book though, so I have no foundation to base judgment on except how it works as a viewer
Major Major Major was a low point for me
What’s it about?
Bah. Linking fail.
Help him, help him!

Its ages since i read it but.... You've basically nailed what the book is.
I struggled a few times with the book then one day it clicked.

Waterstones customers voted it the best book of the 20th century. They were right.
If you've not read it, you really should. It's the work of unbridled genius. To write about the insane futility of war and make that really, really funny is quite an achievement. Every character in it is just so brilliantly written.
Help him, help him!
Help who?

I actually laughed out loud at Yossarian's comment. Well done sir.
I'm the bombardier.
The sequel Closing Time isn't quite as good as Catch 22 but still worth a read.
Joseph Heller's plan for Catch 22
