 Generation KillPOSTED BY Screen Junkies | TUESDAY JULY 22 AT 9:31 PDT
  Two of the guys behind HBO's awesome series, The Wire (David Simon and Ed Burns), adapted a Rolling Stone journalist, Evan Wright's account of his time in Iraq into a seven part miniseries. Since the information was recorded first-hand, it should provide a pretty accurate account of what it's like to sit around for hours, waiting for someone to come and shoot at you. Since it's only one season, Generation Kill promises to be both short and sweet....assuming that you consider graphic imagery of realistic urban warfare sweet. Network: HBO Airs: Sundays at 10 Hot chicks involved: Predictably, this one is a total sausage-fest.

I'm a little sad that our time with recon is over, even if the last episode didn't exactly hit me with a mortar shell of awesomeness. What happened? More...

Who could've seen that coming? It's incredible how things just keep getting worse for these recon Marines. It wasn't bad enough that they had to deal with inept officers, but now they have a bunch of dumb-ass civilian soldiers out in the field putting everyone at risk. More...

Recap: Generation Kill: Episode 1.03GENERATION KILL | Recaps | Videos | Forum | News | PhotosFor the first two episodes I've been complaining that the bad decisions of the high-ranking officers have kept the brigade out of the action, but it's the opposite this week. Everyone's jones for shooting at hostiles has led our boys into all kinds of dangerous situations that are actually pretty intense. Impressions: More... Recap: Generation Kill: Episode 1.02GENERATION KILL | Recaps | Videos | Forum | News | PhotosAfter last week's dialog-filled and action-free premiere, I had high hopes that Generation Kill would take a turn for the interesting in the second episode. Luckily, it seems that they've gotten all of the boring character exposition out of the way, and we'll be in the shit from here on out. More... Recap: Generation Kill: Episode 1.01GENERATION KILL | Recaps | Videos | Forum | News | PhotosPlot:The series opens with a bunch of young and verbose soldiers taking on a live-fire training exercise in Kuwait. You’re introduced to some of the main characters and prepared for the mount of cursing, sex-talk and racial slurs you’re about to hear. Most of the early scenes are spent trying to establish the crushing boredom involved with waiting around to go and kill people, which puts the focus on the dialog. It’s all very Full Metal Jacket-like, but unfortunately doesn’t have nearly the same flair or authenticity. About halfway through an episode full of bickering, and people calling each other “faggots,” the troops hit their vehicles and drive to another place where they wait around for a while. I understand that they’re trying to convey how boring it is before an invasion, but I really could’ve done without it. It’s like watching the prequel to The Fast and the Furious where Vin Diesel sits around taking the driver’s test at the DMV. More... |
