No, it's the dude from The Big Red One. He's one of the soldiers serving under Lee Marvin along with Luke Skywalker and Robert "Revenge of the Nerds" Carradine.

Hackman-Caine Theory
A BRIDGE TOO FAR!!!

Tombstone, though flawed, is a GFM (Great Fucking Movie).

The thing that sticks with me the most from "With the Old Breed" was the part where sledge was on (I think) Okinawa and digging into a rain-soaked hillside when he hits this big ball of maggots. He keeps digging, because he has to, and it finally dawns on him that he's digging through the body of a Japanese soldier…

I've always seen it as "pogue". Pogey bait is the slang term for candy or junk food.

I like the FREEZE frame feature on BLU-Ray. It's really COOL.

Oh, Super Troopers, you had me at Bear Fucker.

I Don't Have to Show You Any Steenking Badges!
Duck, you suckers.

How About Some Bill Bryson?
For non-fiction. Everyone always picks A Walk in the Woods, but my favorite is A Short History of Nearly Everything. I read it again every couple of years. For laugh-out-loud funny I would recommend In a Sunburned Country, about his travels in Australia.

"Velocity" was good except SPOILERS

The Terror would be a great selection. I read it in the middle of a Texas summer and found myself pulling blankets up around me. My all-time favorite Dan Simmons work is Ilium/Olympos, but, like Hyperion, it falls into the category of having to read more than one book to finish it.

I already won this once (under a different user name) with Taken 2: Fool of a Took.

Umm….I joined the Marines in 1987. So I'm decrepit.

KERA in Dallas NEVER lets you forget they were the first US station to show Python. They mention it like every 5 minutes during their pledge drives.

Was Fecus related to Emporer Commodus?

I know the Box of Paperback Books contained about 75 books, but I secretly hope it's never-ending. I love this series.

"Derzu Usala" is unusual but a good, slow-paced film. How many movies take place in Far Eastern Russia, anyway? And as a bonus, it has Siberian tigers.

Bands Mentioned in Above Threads Whose Lead Singers are Dead
Foghat
Boston
Molly Hatchet

The crew is propelled into an alternate reality where Mal becomes a mystery writer; Sheperd Book an NYC detective; Inara goes through a Stargate; Jayne goes to Vietnam and is known as Animal Mother; Wash becomes a squire in Medieval England; and River looks for Sarah Conner.

I can see the comparisons to "Hyperion". That was my favorite science fiction book too, until I read Simmons' "Ilium/Olympos" books, which are all kinds of awesome.
