CONQUEST!!! [The Show]

[Dark Psion]

You got to watch the Demolition Derby show, they paint Peter's car bright Pink so No One on the Track will miss it.

The archery one was good. Peter hit bull's eye on his first shot, and we have to create a feat for that "fire two quick shots, one arched in the air, the other directly at the target and both arrive at the same time" technique.

I caught the one on Knights in Armor, it was pretty interesting. I have yet to catch another episode but It looks like a interesting show. They need to get the mail call guy a tranquilizer before he just explodes, I've never seen somebody get so excited over a foxhole.

You haven't met very many Marines have you?

Oh I've met a few, they normally got excited about drinking and beating navy guys up at the bars, but they never seemed to be that enthused about digging holes in dirt or civil war weapontry. This guy needs his own GI Joe figure, Sgt. Slaughter has nothing on him.

Heh..

Heh, not just a Marine, but a former Marine DRILL instructor. If you ever watch the film "Full Metal Jacket" you can see him in all his glory. I beleive the story goes that Mr. Lee Ermy was hired as a consultant for the boot camp sequences, and Mr Kubrik felt that he would be excellent for the role of the sadistic D.I. (is that correct...is that the term Marines use?)

He may even have a action figure...I think the "Foxhole" episode had one on as "motivation" for the foxhole diggers.

Here is a relevant part of his bio from the Internet Movie Database:

R. Lee Ermey was in the Marine Corps for eleven years. He rose to the rank of Gunnery Sergeant, and his Marine service included one and a half tours in Vietnam. After injuries forced him to retire from military service, he moved to the Phillipines, enrolling in the University of Manila, where he studied Criminology and Drama. He appeared in several Phillipino films, before being cast as a Helicopter pilot in Francis Ford Coppola's Apocalypse Now. Due to his Vietnam experiences, Coppola also utilized him as a technical advisor. He got a featured role in Sidney Furie's The Boys in Company C, Playing A drill instructor. Ermey worked with Furie again in Purple Hearts. However, Ermey got his most famous, (or infamous) role as Gunnery Sergeant Hartman in Stanley Kubrick's Full Metal Jacket, for which Ermey was nominated for a Golden Globe. Ermey did win the best supporting actor award from The Boston Society of Film Critics. Since then, Ermey has appeared in numerous character roles in such films as Leaving Las Vegas, Se7en, and Dead Man Walking. Ermey, however, prefers comedy to drama.

It's a great show, and nice to see Peter with hair, for a change.

 

[Dark Psion]

When I was watching "Crusade", I thought Peter was a good actor.
Now I see he wasn't acting, he is Galen.
