Generation Kill
polycounter lvl 18
Anyone been watching this? Im up to episode 5 and Im loving it. It only has 10 episodes, and it kicks butt, its like a cross between jarhead and black hawk down. Nice to see something more realistic and less patriotic.
some of the dialog is really funny

What's great about it, is that while it takes place during war time, and there are lots of gunfights to satisfy that, the show itself is really centered around the actual people under the helmets. They did a great job on it.
Also, all based on actual events, where Evan Wright (Rolling Stone Reporter) ACTUALLY rode in the lead humvee in the first invasion in 2003 (ballsy guy) OH, and Fruity Rudy is playing himself!
Get some!
If you liked this and missed The Wire, you have a treat ahead of you
I would go as far as saying that The Wire is the best bit of TV ever made, it explains everything about the US that, ironically, the majority of americans don't understand
It's bigger than that though, all its truths apply to society in general and after you've learned them its hard to fall back into the same silly patterns of distraction.
Mr. Potato-head: I think this nick-name is just to piss the guy off.
Captain America: Is paranoid and high strung and wants to engage everybody in the war.
Encino Man: The neanderthal of a commanding officer.
The Godfather: Had throat cancer so he sounds like the godfather
Iceman: Cool under pressure.
Whopper Jr.: Whopper Jr's home is Burger King and BK stands for Baby killer.
Fruity-Rudy: All of that guys parts are hilarious. "Don't worry.. its not gay to think he's pretty...We all think he's pretty" Hell they introduce the guy by making his character put on every piece of gear he has, load up his backpack with rocks and go running full boar in blistering heat. On top of all of this he is running almost double the speed of everyone else. Hilarious.
What they do with the reporter's picture is just hilarious. The way they introduce everyone in the first episode with the school letters and pictures is choice.
Definitely worth a watch.
you will adhere to the goomings standards!

Also, I heard J-Lo's dead.
LMFAO

Look at this shit, how come we can't ever invade a cool country, like chicks in bikinis, you know, how come counties like that don't ever need Marines, I'll tell you why, it's lack of pussy that fucks countries up, lack of pussy is the root fucking cause of all global instability, if more hajis were getting quality pussy, there'd be no reason for us to come over and fuck em up like this, cause a nutbusting haji, is a happy haji.
Just sent the 3rd disc back to Netflix.
Def. Check out the discussion with Evan and the actual soldiers on the 3rd disc extras.
The bridge scene with Persons yelling "could any of you please back the fuck up!" had me in tears.
