R. Lee Ermey went to director Stanley Kubrick and asked for the role of Gunnery Sgt. Hartmann. In his opinion, the actors on the set were not up to snuff. When Kubrick declined, Ermey barked an order for Kubrick to stand up when he was spoken to, and the director instinctively obeyed. Ermey got the role.

To make Gunnery Sgt. Hartmann's performance and the recruits' reactions as convincing as possible, Matthew Modine, Vincent D'Onofrio, and the other actors playing recruits never met R. Lee Ermey prior to filming. Stanley Kubrick also saw to it that Ermey didn't fraternize with the actors between takes.

R. Lee Ermey was involved in a jeep accident during the making of the movie. At 1:00 a.m. one night he skidded off the road, breaking all the ribs on his left side. He refused to pass out, and kept flashing his car lights until a motorist stopped. In some scenes you'll notice that he does not move his left arm at all. Stanley Kubrick claimed in an interview that it took four and a half months before Ermey could return to work in which production simply had to be suspended since he was involved in all the remaining scenes.

It is a common misconception that much, if not all, of R. Lee Ermey's dialogue during the Parris Island sequence was improvised. In several interviews Ermey himself has stated that he worked closely with Kubrick to help mold the script so that it was more believable, all while retaining certain dialogue crucial to Kubrick's vision. While filming the opening scene, where he disciplines Pvt. Cowboy, he says Cowboy is the type of guy who would have sex with another guy "and not even have the goddamned common courtesy to give him a reach-around". Stanley Kubrick immediately yelled cut and went over to Ermey and asked, "What the hell is a reach-around?" Ermey politely explained what it meant. Kubrick laughed and re-shot the scene, telling Ermey to keep the line.

According to director John Boorman, Stanley Kubrick wanted to cast Bill McKinney in the role of Gunnery Sgt. Hartman. However, Kubrick was so unsettled after viewing McKinney's performance in Deliverance (1972) that he declined to meet with him, saying he was simply too frightened at the idea of being in McKinney's presence. Kubrick then hired Tim Colceri to play Hartman. Colceri never got to play the role, as former US Marine Corps Drill Instructor R. Lee Ermey, consultant for the Marine Corps boot camp portion of the film, performed a demonstration on videotape in which he yelled obscene insults and abuse for 15 minutes without stopping, repeating himself or even flinching - despite being continuously pelted with tennis balls and oranges. Stanley Kubrick was so impressed that he cast Ermey as Hartman. Colceri was bitter but accepted Kubrick's consolation prize of a small role as a helicopter door-gunner.

Ke$ha, RIRI, Cardi B, and Jennifer Lopez have been named to the Time 100. No Pitbull nor Marcy Playground.

I switched from cable to youtube TV about a month ago and am quite happy with it as well. The quality is just as good as cable and its saving me ~$75 a month. The only thing I am missing out on is MTV for the Challenge and HBO (only watch GOT so will pick up HBO GO when that comes back).

Have to avoid spoilers for about 30 seconds on sports, but thats really it.

I plan to switch to sling in September for Redzone and then switch back in January.

My cable/internet bill is $105 but they would charge me $65 for just internet. Think my provider has gamed this out but I guess you guys have more choice in internet providers and/or more expensive cable?

Yeah I'm saving about 100 per month and that's including doubling my internet speed, so definitely much more expensive cable pricing. That was with multiple dvr's, though, which are just replaced with streaming devices we already had. Like CDL the only channel I miss is MTV, but their sports lineup is even better than my stupidly expensive cable was. I wouldn't be that surprised if they added it at some point either, as in the 2 months I've had it they've added the turner networks + nba tv.

Even better is every channel is now 60 FPS vs just ESPN @60 and everything else 30 when I first signed up. Super clutch timing for NBA + NHL playoffs.

Guy literally just sitting at a restaurant with wife and daughter on his lap and this homeless piece of **** just randomly walks up and fatally stabs him in the neck.

They need to be rounded up and put down the same way we do stray dogs.

It should literally be punishable by death to be homeless. If you're homeless you're either pathetic and/or severely mentally ill. Either way there is no place for you in society.

I'm trying to jump in the driverless car accessories train.

Gonna invent/patent a combo makeup station-shaver-breakfast machine-coffee pot since people will be using their commute to save time in the morning.

Excuse the busyness. School holidays.

Nice pics. Don't get eaten by Taz!

School holidays for your kids, or for you?

Neither. Don't have kids. It's just school holidays in Tassie at the moment. Holiday dates differ by states. I was being sarcastic because I was kind of surprised it wasn't totally overrun. Was a little busy in the carpark but out in the park not too bad.

In Hobart now which is a somewhat underrated city imo. It's small (only 220K people) so its not as upscale as the big East Coast cities but it's old and has a lot of colonial heritage listed buildings. If single or multi day excursions out to sweet outdoor locations and then PINTS in a heritage pub with an open fire sounds like your thing, Hobart is for you.
