I've finally gotten around to finishing watching Generation Kill (2 more episodes to go). Ana's already done that and moved on to scouring the Internet for additional info, which I think upsets the world balance in a very serious way.
Anyhoo, obviously it's a very well-written, moving, informative and eye-opening account of the war in Iraq, so let's focus on random trivia. There's this one awesome and hilarious supporting character, Sgt. Rudy Reyes, who doesn't get that much screen time, but pretty much steals every scene he's in (so far). Words cannot do him justice, so I've gone to the trouble of uploading a short clip (youtube account suspension, here I come... again):
Well, it turns out the guy who plays him... um... isn't acting at all. That's the actual marine who took part in the events described in the book (which then got turned into an HBO miniseries). Ana dug out a short interview with him, and - yet again - it has to be seen to be believed:
The shirt. The way he says "he was overweight...". The way he reacts to her saying he obviously works out... I truly believe he is a model citizen of the 23rd century's Most Serene Republic of California, sent back in time to help us on our way. I'm awestruck. And terrified.
