Generation Kill

I've been watching this HBO miniseries, about Marines during the opening of the War in Iraq. It just fucking rules. I loved Band of Brothers, I like a lot of military movies and shows, but this is the first one that portrays the soldiers exactly like soldiers and ex-soldiers I've known in real life. Politically speaking, it's definitely sympathetic to the grunts on the ground, while not shying away from some of the more horrible aspects of war. If you haven't seen this fucking show, download it, watch it on HBO, buy the inevitable DVD when it's released, but goddamn this is a fucking great show. 4 episodes have aired, there's 3 left to go. I anticipate new episodes of this right now more than Burn Notice, SGA, Psych or Monk, and if you know me and my viewing habits, that's hella significant. Fucking watch it.

Oooh! I *love* Band of Brothers, pirated it, watched it a number of times and then bought the box-set then watched a couple of times again. I'll check this out.

I'll have to check this shit out sometime but, dude, make sure to see The Dark Knight or I'll skullfuck you. That movie is fucking amazing. And the Joker owns, bitch!

(Whoa. Maybe I should ease up on the steroids.)

I just walked back into my apartment from seeing it, actually. It was truly mighty.
