Pútrido is such an old fashion word

that film is non-stop excellence

( Vipros. clever got me this far, then tricky got me in, Tue 9 Nov 2010, 9:31, Reply)

Yes, it is incredible
2 films in 1. AND it has Jayne from Firefly as "Animal Mother"

What's not to like
( Colonel Dracula Two manky hookers and a racist dwarf, Tue 9 Nov 2010, 9:33, Reply)

there is literally nothing not to like about that film
I only realised it was Jayne the last time I watched it
( Vipros. clever got me this far, then tricky got me in, Tue 9 Nov 2010, 9:34, Reply)

Private Pyle is in one of the "Law & Order" variants
and Lee Emery (The drill Sgt.) is in everything. Have you seen "The Frighteners", he basically plays exactly the same character, but in ghost form.

He was a drill sgt before he became an actor.

is that why the simpsons has that sketch
where homer is watching someone in army uniform being yelled at? "PYLE! PYLE!" over and over.

i never did understand that bit.

He's called Pyle in the film because it is the name of a dumbass soldier
in some American TV thing. Which is what feed into that Simpsons episode.

Full Metal Jacket is not 'some American TV thing'.

Full Metal Jacket took the name from an american tv show

it was some 60s thing about an idiot marine.

( Monty Boyce, My cheese game is strong, Tue 9 Nov 2010, 10:00, Reply)

That show
was the inspiration for the (infinitely superior) Top Cat cartoon.

SHAZAM!
( Monty Boyce, My cheese game is strong, Tue 9 Nov 2010, 10:01, Reply)

Which was supposed to be renamed Boss Cat in the UK and ther's even a title screen showing this, but the dialogue was never changed.
THWUMP!
(Cave Duck, Tue 9 Nov 2010, 10:03, Reply)

It couldn't be called that here
as there was a brand of cat food called Boss Cat.

BAZAMMMMM!!
( Monty Boyce, My cheese game is strong, Tue 9 Nov 2010, 10:04, Reply)

I names my cat Benny
after a character in 'Top/Boss Cat'

Erm you may havre to change this as my previous post was somewhat erroneous.

(Cave Duck, Tue 9 Nov 2010, 10:08, Reply)

Wikipedia:
In the United Kingdom, the show was first aired on BBC television (now called BBC One) but renamed Boss Cat shortly after it premiered in 1962 because Top Cat was also the name of a brand of cat food.

So I had the right idea but got it the worong way round...
( Monty Boyce, My cheese game is strong, Tue 9 Nov 2010, 10:10, Reply)

Indeed, I initially incorrectly put that it was called Boss Cat in the states
which probably caused the confusion.

Yeah, there's an American show from the 60's-ish with a Private Pyle
Jim Carrey and his "kids" are watching it in "Me, Myself & Irene" before they swap to watching Richard Prior.
