Mary Jane Rottencrotch is still with us.
I was fingerbanging her only last night.

She said that she was very disappointed with the present you got her for mother's day

R. Lee Ermey, made famous by playing the hard but fair Gny. Sgt. Hartman in full metal jacket, has passed away.

Never get tired of watching him in Full Metal Jacket. Absolute scene stealer. R.I.P

What a lot of people don't know about his role in Full Metal Jacket is that he wasn't the original choice for that role. I don't remember who was, but Ermey was an actual ex-marine drill sergeant brought in as a "technical advisor", in other words give the real actor lessons in how to be a ba$tard. He turned out to be so bad that the real actor was told to hit the road and Stanley Kubrick gave the role to Ermey instead.

Hande hoche!

Showed up in a few horror films too. Good actor.

bnt

Though Ermey wasn't originally going to act in Full Metal Jacket, he wasn't totally new to acting either e.g. he had an uncredited role as a helicopter pilot in Apocalypse Now, and had played a Gunnery Sergeant in the movie Purple Hearts three years before Full Metal Jacket. Some years later he played the police captain in Se7en, and I honestly didn't recognise him until I saw the credits. It was a less intense character whio didn't use that voice. :cool:

Aw, this is sad. Hartman is one of my favourite chracters in any movie, ever.

RIP.

Ran into him in the bar he owned down in southern California. He hung out with us a while as I was with my former unit doing our ten year reunion from the Iraq deployment. Guy never had anything other than a smile on his face, very friendly and good natured.

He had his FMJ uniform on display by the wall.

Gunnery Sergeant Hartman: Where the hell are you from anyway, private?

Private Cowboy: Sir, Texas, sir.

Gunnery Sergeant Hartman: Holy dog ****! Texas? Only steers and queers come from Texas, Private Cowboy, and you don't look much like a steer to me, so that kinda narrows it down. Do you suck dicks?

Private Cowboy: Sir, no, sir!

Gunnery Sergeant Hartman: Are you a peter puffer?

Private Cowboy: Sir, no, sir!

Gunnery Sergeant Hartman: I bet you're the kind of guy who would **** a person in the ass and not even have the goddamn common courtesy to give him a reach-around. I'll be watching you!

fcuking legend. :pac:

He owed me a jelly donut!

RIP, I LOVED every bit of that film.

He was also in Dead Man Walking, playing the father of the girl that Sean Penn's character was accused of raping and murdering.

It really showed a different side to his acting, although his voice is so distinctive that I kept expecting him to jump out of his chair and tell Susan Sarandon to "drop and gimme twenty!!"

Boom_Bap

As far as I know, a lot of his lines in Full Metal Jacket were not scripted.

There is also a scene in Seven where the phone rang during the take and he just carried on with it.

I'd love to know how many more of these there are.

Absolutely stole the show in FMJ can't think of another actor who could portray a Drill instructor who could pull off anything as good Gunnery Sargent Hartman .

He literally made it as well in part by rewriting much of the script... which is even more remarkable given he wasn't even meant to be in it.

Although, of course, the... eloquent... characters that R. Lee played in movies or on Mail Call are well embedded in my cognitive association, I have also run into him 'out of hours', as it were. He had a bar, down in the Southern California near Palmdale. When he discovered that our little group was actually the local armor unit having a reunion on the tenth anniversary of our Iraq deployment, he made sure to hang out with us. I don't recall him ever having anything other than a smile on his face and enthusiasm in his voice. Definitely, he was one of the good ones. Oh, presuming the bar's still around, his FMJ uniform is on display in a cabinet.

The Frightners, a very underated film.. R. Lee playing his role in the afterlife, well he's there now! RIP

Originally brought on to Full Metal Jacket for accuracy advice, his demonstrations of how to do a Drill Sergeant Nasty were so good that he was cast in his famed role.

Said demonstration was unflinchingly chewing out the camera with both tennis balls and rotten oranges being thrown at him, and he continued to chew out the camera for fifteen straight minutes, during which he never once moved, changed his expression, or repeated himself.

What really sealed the deal, however, was when he spoke to Stanley Kubrick on the set and said "YOU STAND UP WHEN I TALK TO YOU!!!" and Kubrick found himself doing so automatically.
