Generation Kill

[medicnick83]

Does anyone have this?

I can't find this anywhere!!

I hear it's excellent and really want to get it.

Movie? Game? Artist?

TV series, only 1 season apparently, I think 7 episodes.
I saw the book at Exclusive books.

"Generation Kill" is a television miniseries seen on HBO and is based on Evan Wright's book about his experiences as an embedded reporter with the 1st Reconnaissance Battalion during the Iraq war's first phase in 2003.

I'm a war buff, so you can see why I want this so bad

Are you talking about the series or the book.

I saw some of the series and it looks really good. The book can be found at most good book shops. Didnt get it as I prefer memoirs.

Anyone read 'Border-line insanity' by Tim Ramsden. Its about a National Service man in 1985 and his experiences in the SADF. Excellent book!

Also love my war memoirs. I used to read a lot of WW II and I stuff. Moved on to Afghan and Iraq conflicts. Trying to get my hands on more of the SA Angolan conflict memoirs. CNA have a good selection

Possibly the worst T.V series I've ever seen. It's based on a novel by a Rollingstone "journalist" ffs.

Pure Hollywood liberals wet dream

Ye I watched it! Its really good! But I accidently deleted it!

They've got it at Bayside Mall in Table View at the video store there!

Was filmed in South Africa as well! Did you know?

 

[medicnick83]

I've only ever heard good things about it so that's why I want it so bad

Well if you insist on getting a dose of dumb downed hollywood smut so be it....


However if you're interested in an intelligent, accurate accounts may I suggest a few books

Thunder Run by David Zucchino( Forward by Mark Bowden author of Black Hawk Down which ironically is the last decent war movie to come out of the Hollywood cesspool)

No True Glory and Strongest Tribe By Bing West

One Bullet Away By Nathaniel C. Fick( You'll notice his charector is GKill)

House to House By David Bellavia

Moment Of Truth In Iraq By Michael Yon

I doubt anything can beat BoB but I would still love to get it.

If you feeling up to sharing, PM me

I would really appreciate it.

I have seen it at Look n Listen stores.

 

[medicnick83]

I've looked at Canal Walk, V&A Waterfront (all stores there) and no one has stock - they had, but they don't know when they are getting.

I'd like to get rips first, if I really do like it, I'll buy it, just like I did with Band of Brothers and the other war movie that name escapes me now...

 

[Oreomitch]

GK...FTW! I hope they product a second season...or was it a mini-series?
