that was pretty fucking ninja.
Generation Kill sucked me in hard. I only have two more episodes left and I'm totally panicking. Damn you, mini-series! I wanna pimp it a.k.a perform my fandom duties so here's a picspam plus some of my favorite quotes in hopes it'll pique your interest. Which it should since what I focused on are my favorite characters in all their prettiness and hilarity.
FAVORITE CHARACTER:
It's probably a tie between Ray and Brad but if I had to choose, I'd pick Ray. He's witty, gross, bullshitting, puppy-eyed, annoying, crooked-lipped and as endearing to me as he is to Brad (LOTS).
QUOTES:
1. The guys are reading mail they received from school kids.
POKE: Listen to this shit right here. "Maybe you'll be able to come home without having to fight...Peace is always much better than war and it would be nice if no one would be hurt."
RAY: That is some fucking hippie communist shit right there. Where the fuck is this weak ass child from?
Ray's answer to the letter: "Dear Frederick! Thank you for your nice letter. But I am actually a U.S. Marine who was born to kill, whereas clearly you have mistaken me for some sort of wine-sipping communist dick-suck. And although peace probably appeals to tree-loving bisexuals like you and your parents, I happen to be a death-dealing, blood-crazed warrior who wakes up every day just hoping for the chance to dismember my enemies and defile their civilizations. Peace sucks a hairy asshole, Freddie. War is the motherfucking answer."
2. If Marines could get what they need when they needed it, we would be happy and we wouldn't be ready to kill people all the time. See, the Marine Corps is like America's little pit bull. They beat us, mistreat us, and once in a while let us out to attack somebody.
3. There's layers of retardation that most people don't even know about.
Next up is his partner in crime, Brad.
QUOTES:
1. Find the reporter, Trombley. If Little Miss Rolling Stone gets run over by an Iraqi tank, Ray's band won't make the cover.
2. Gentlemen, we just seized an airfield. That was pretty fucking ninja.
Best part of the show for me is the relationship between Brad and Ray.
They couldn't be more different if they tried yet they compliment each other extremely well in that enormous clusterfuck of a situation they're in. I think Brad would go nuts without Ray goofing off to his left (he's a serious dude but he can throw a nasty verbal punch with the best of them and Ray encourages it and is delighted) while Ray respects Brad and would probably not function as well without boundaries Brad provides.
RAY: Me and Brad spent $500 of our own money just fixing up the Humvee. Bought our own antennas, filters, cammie nets. We even painted it ourselves. So yeah, homes. *puts on fugly shades* We pimpin'.
BRAD: *smiles adorably and thinks about how much he loves Ray*
I love that we never know whether Brad will approve when Ray blabs and fools around or "Shut up, Ray" him. Cause that makes it all the better when he reacts like this.
QUOTES:
BRAD: Ray, you spit with your lips, you always get it on the side of my Humvee. I heard you spit with your lips. Spit with your teeth, Ray.
~***~
BRAD: Ray! Ray. How much Ripped Fuel have you ingested?
RAY: I'm on it like a motherfucker, Brad. I'm moto, dude!
BRAD: Well, no more of that shit. When you do Ripped Fuel, you can't shut up.
~***~
BRAD: I dreamed I was in Iraq.
RAY: Were you naked?
ROFL, this slayed me. It was such a random question.
~**ˇ~
TROMBLEY: Hey Person, didn't your mom put your picture up on the Wal-Mart Wall of Heroes?
RAY: Yep. My grandma did when I went to Afghanistan. I'm on the Nevada, Missouri Wal-Mart Wall of Heroes.
BRAD: If my mother would distribute my likeness without my written authorization I would disown her.
RAY: Technically speaking Brad, but didn't your biological parents disown you when they put you up for adoption?
BRAD: Point, Ray. I was one of those unfortunates, adopted by upper middle class professionals and nurtured in an environment of learning and art and a religious culture steep in more that 2000 years of tradition. Not everyone is lucky enough to have been raised in a whiskey tango trailer park, by a bow-legged female, whose sole qualification for motherhood is a womb that happened to catch the sperm of a passing truck driver.
RAY: At least my mom took me to NASCAR! ♥
OTHER FAVORITES:
1. DOC
I LOVE the Doc. He is such a calming (although you know he's simmering under the surface, he rarely raises his voice) but strong, no nonsense presence. (One of my favorite scenes with him is the one with the crying kid in the last episode, I think, when the men are stealing candy from children and trying to cut in line and he makes them back the fuck off and then tries to calm the little boy. That whole thing broke my heart. He's such a good guy.)
2. RUDY (played by the real Rudy)
3. PAPPY
Well, we all got jobs to do. Sergeant Major Sixta's job is to be an asshole. And he excels at the position.
4. GARZA
He's cool but I think I mostly like him cause he's really pretty and wears specs, lol.
And I leave you with this:
After Evan (the embedded Rolling Stone reporter) falls down in his gas gear, the three of them stare down at him for a moment, both amused and pitying the fool before they help him uncrush his nuts, lol. Adorable.
THE END.
Gorgeous HQ caps by peopleareshapes, colored by me so please don't use them for anything.
