Even the Sarge is the patented cigar chomping friendly, badass leader. As soon as he put in the cigar I busted out laughing, but its like a personal signal from Cameron that says, "There are 8-10 Marines here and they're all cliches." Watch Avatar and the army guys are written the same.

If you wanna see Reiser in a great role (and just a great movie with tons of recognizeable stars in their early years), check out DINER if you haven't already. Just not enough of his character in that, though. I think I'll be watching this again over the holidays.
