The quintessential, central casting, seen-him-in-everything, yelling in your face, drill sergeant guy. R Lee Ermey, dead at 74.

Semper Fi.

Me too. I’d thought if anybody would last forever, it’d be him.

He didn't last long in his signature role, though...

That role was a stellar achievement. I cringe with revulsion, pain and anger whenever it is on TV anywhere.

Only 74? I have to admit, I thought he was older than that.

Full Meal Jacket? Why is that?

I watch it, or parts of it, pretty often. Sorry for any discomfort I may be causing you.

Because it's so fucking good and getting to me. Whenever I watch this, I feel like one of the Sgt's hapless victims. Quite what Kubrick intended, I guess. :D
