Meet the boys of Easy Company
Jan. 7th, 2010 01:22 am![[personal profile]](https://www.dreamwidth.org/img/silk/identity/user.png){kind=small}
exsequarI've spent the last few weeks rewatching the whole of Band of Brothers in 720p HD (unfff) and capping the shit out of it in preparation for what may be an epic picspam if I ever get my act together. I really have spent far too many waking hours on this project, but you know, it's really not hard on the eyes, so I haven't exactly minded. ;) I was talking to my best friend, who has watched the first few episodes, and she mentioned how she still doesn't know who the heck anyone is, so I offered to do a primer picspam of the characters. I was just gonna email them to her with the character names, but I started going through and realized, oh right, there are over 20 characters I love in this series! That would make for a good picspam! Before I knew it, I had 68 caps on my hands. *facepalm* So here is what may be considered several things - a primer for anyone who hasn't seen BoB (it's NON-SPOILERY), an exceedingly pretty overview of the cast for anyone who already loves it, and a simple delight for the senses because let me tell you, some of these caps are stunning. God bless 720p.
So if you like pretty men, particularly ones in uniform, have I got a treat for you. Twenty-six of them, to be precise.
Also, the caps are BIG. None of this namby-pamby shrinking and recoloring bullshit. They are big (1000x625 px) and hi-res and unadulterated. PLEASE use them for icons or whatever you want, and if you want the FULL full size (1440x900) of anything, let me know!
Disclaimer: This is by no means comprehensive. I can think of at least 6 guys I left out, and I know some of them are beloved by others. My only defense is that if I had capped every character thoroughly, I would have twice as many caps as I do now, and that's a lot. Please forgive me!
I'm going to close with the best of the best, but otherwise we're going to go in order of my mostest favorite to just kind of favorite. So let's begin with the one, the only:
MAMA BEAR! I mean - Carwood Lipton! Lip is the most earnest, humble, and sweet man there ever was. He loves all of his boys unconditionally, and he doesn't even realize how much he means to them.
He also has these huge puppy eyes that I love to no end. And a badass scar.
This is Lip falling in love with his husband. I won't say any more! You'll just have to watch. :D
My most frequent response to Lip's face is to go OMG CAN I GIVE YOU A HUG?!?? He's the darlingest darling there ever WAS. He's played by DONNIE WAHLBERG - oh yes, former New Kid on the Block and brother of Marky Mark. I respect him all the more because in real life, Donnie is a spastic earnest CHEESEBALL, so for him to pull off such a solid and quiet character speaks volumes for his talent. Yup! ♥♥
This, my friends, is RONALD FUCKING SPEIRS. You better respect. Or he will cut you. A lot. With several bayonets and his cold, dead, sexy sexy eyes.
...My relationship with Speirs is a little complicated.
It gets less complicated when he smiles like THAT though. *fluttery sigh*
Did I mention he's exquisitely beautiful? FRECKLES. Speirs is the strangest and most wonderfulest character. Again, you'll have to watch to fully appreciate why! What makes it even better is he was REAL.
Meet Joe Liebgott. I have an inordinate fondness for this boy - he's another crazy one with a heart of gold. He loves to pick fights, he always seems to be simmering on a low burn, and he REALLY likes to shoot Germans. Which is fair enough, given that he's Jewish. Right here, Winters is taking Joe's ammo so that he won't kill the German POWs he has to take back to camp. Oh Joe.
It helps that he's unspeakably pretty. I spend a lot of his scenes yearning to play with his hair. He's cocky and loud and I love him.
He also has some of the most poignant moments of the entire series. I think this cap is my favorite I took in the whole series. The way the shadows fall on his face, the sheer misery in his posture. I am just blown away by the sheer extremes this character hits, and I love him more every time through.
And this lovely lad is Doc Eugene Roe. He of the pointy nose and blue-black hair and perpetual little worried frown and skilled and soothing hands. Doc Roe is about a billionty shades of adorable and wonderful and Easy would be lost without him.
The detail in this cap is simply exquisite. The scraggly stubble, eyelashes brushing his cheeks, little cold red nose and ears, loooong fingers, eyes to drown in. SIGH. And I see the tiny frown! I see it! *gives him a million hugs*
Aldfkjlsdkjf his sad little face and his spiky hair and augh my heart. You cannot know the true extent of our love for the dear Doc until you watch episode six. I promise your heart will implode a few times.
This is Doc taking care of his Babe. No really, that's his name! Well, nickname. Whatever. LOOK ROE IS SMIIILING! My heart is doing flippy flops you guys! Meeep.
I think Babe Heffron's is too. How can it NOT? Boy's not made of stone! (His nooose omg.)
Let's have a look at Babe when he's not imitating an icicle. This is Babe the Innocent, he of the dorky toothy smile and the big nose and the perfectly groomed ginger hair. The boy from South Philly. ♥
And this is our Babe with a bit of wear and tear. I love this cap - it's like a painting.
And now I'd like to introduce you to the other boy from South Philly - Bill "Gonorrhea" Guarnere! Don't let his forbidding JAW OF DOOM fool you -
He's secretly an enormous softy who adores other Boys From South Philly. Bill is one of the strongest characters in the whole series - the actor is phenomenal.
He also has the most delightful laugh I've ever seen. His mouth is just so comically enormous! (Insert dirty jokes here yadda yadda :P) Oh Bill. <3 (I SEE YOU THAR LIPTON WITH YER GIGGLY FAAACE!)
At this point, they're all equally my favorites, so let's have some play time with Harry Welsh. He of the gappy teef and blonde wispy curls. He may look like a Man In Charge, but really -
He's just THE TINIEST LITTLE BOY OF ALL TIME OMG I LOVE HIM. See the banner for this spam? He's the one on the left. The guy on the right? IS 5'7". AHAHA TINY MIDGET HARRY WELSH! We love him and his sparkling impish eyes and dimples, eeee.
And boy sure cleans up nice. THE GAPPY TEEFS! *flap flap* Harry is so ridic adorable, ugh. <3
Next up: Don Malarkey. With bonus Joe Toye, who we'll see briefly again later. But MALARK! I love his little face. I think his story is one of the most tragic in the whole series. I somehow managed to miss capping all of his early delightfulness, so we get some solemn caps here, but he is really a ray of sunshine, that Malark. <3333
This is the best cap I could get from this scene, but he looks so beautiful in the sunshine. I do have such a soft spot for them gingers!
AUGH. *wraps him up in a huge bear hug and never lets go*
And here's another shot of our intrepid Joe Toye. He's awesome, I just don't happen to have many caps of him!
Here's Malark's partner in crime: Skip Muck. Known to many of you as the Trickster! :D He is truly delightful in this series, and I only wish he'd gotten more screen time. He ALSO looks lovely in the sunshine, om nom.
Really, really pretty. Did you think Richard Speight could be so pretty? Me neither! Muuuck. He's another super darling. <3
And their third playmate: Alex Penkala, who somehow manages to get much less screen time and development than the other two despite being with them all the time. *hands* Boy's still adorable, n'aw.
You might sit up and take notice, because yeah, David Webster is PRETTY. Eoin Bailey was in Center Stage and Fight Club if you're going "hey, I know that guy!" He really is almost unbearably pretty, gosh. As another picspam put it, he went to the same school of pretty as Jensen Ackles. HONESTLY.
Anywho, Webs likes to give chocolate to little boys and then smile adorably at them. *smishes him*
He also has THE MOST BEAUTIFUL EYES IN THE WORLD HOLY GOD. I mean. What? (Loooook at them! Gyah.) Webs is a bit of a village idiot in the series, which is COMPLETELY unfair because the real David Webster was a brilliant and insightful author who went into service simply so he could experience the war from the ground and then convey it to the world. I have to get his book sometime.
BULL RANDLEMAN! Boy gets a whole episode that might as well be called Bull Randleman Is A Total Badass. Because he is. But an adorable badass whom all his men love! Played by the delightful Michael Cudlitz, who tweeted me when I mentioned watching Band of Brothers asking why I wasn't following him, WHAT. Ahaha, my life.
Bull likes cigars. A lot. Yup!
Awww, George Luz! (And to his left, Frank Perconte.) He's the class clown, the one always pulling faces and doing impressions of superiors and generally making everyone laugh. I adore him. He's the other tiny one up in the banner, hollering away with Harry. <3333
He likes to talk at the theater! Mama Lipton does NOT approve. <3
I mostly love the colors in this cap, but hiiii Luz hi. *draws pink sparkly hearts*
IT'S BUCK COMPTON BABY. Another incredibly tragic tale, played beautifully by Neal McDonough. His crinkly little eyes!
Oh Buck. The consummate soldier. ♥
This is Donald Hoobler, an adorable little jokester.
And one more, because this is another one of my favorites. The starkness, the shadows, his face.
This here is the very adorable Shifty Powers. I didn't even notice him til the last episode on my first go round, but keep an eye out for him! He's got the sweetest southern accent (from Virginia) and I adore him.
It helps that he's RIDICULOUSLY PRETTY. Awww, Shifty! <33333
This here's Johnny Martin, professional badass. He's just uniformly awesome, getting the men in line and getting shit done.
Alton More here ain't around much, but he takes some startlingly beautiful pictures. Like this one!
Good ol' Popeye Wynn! Another freaking adorable southern boy.
Ahahahaha, CaptainDickweed Ross Herbert Sobel! David Schwimmer plays an amazingly good JACKASS. With pretty eyes. Heehee.
Tony Garcia, a totally random darling of mine. Boy has like one line, but he reminded me of Gerard Way the first time I saw him, sooo he just stuck with me. Hi there!
Speaking of random, HI JAMES MCAVOY HI. His character's something Miller, but he's around for the blink of an eye. Regardless - PRETTY. :D And young!
BUT EVEN BETTER YOU GUYS OMG IT'S LEE ADAMA I mean Lieutenant Foley! HEEE HI LEE HI! Mostly he runs around looking cold and yelling at people for a couple episodes. I LOVE IT SO MUCH. LEEEEE. :DDDD
This brings us to our shooting stars, the two and only, WINTERS AND NIXON!
To be more precise, let me introduce the delightful Lewis Nixon and the spectacular Dick Winters. This is the first conversation in the entire series, and it will put hearts in your eyes immediately. Nix, a Yale boy from mucho money, suggests that he should take Dick, a backwards farmboy, to Chicago some time. Yup. I love them more than words can say. Dick, the straight laced officer with a completely solid head and "no flaws, no vices, no sense of humor" according to his Nix, hee. Nix, the freewheeling intelligence officer, Dick's permanent right hand man and great lover of the whiskey. They shouldn't work at all, but they completely and utterly do.
But this is not a NIXTERS picspam (Nixterrrs!). That is for another time. Instead I shall treat you to visions of their lovely faces.
Mmm. I love a ginger in uniform. DO WE SENSE A THEME?
I also enjoy dirty gingers with mussed hair and vaguely confused faces. <333
What how did that get in here?!? O:)
This cap is just startling in its clarity and sharpness. His eyes, dear god.
HIS EYES, DEAR GOD.
But of course the best Winters is a smiling Winters, and literally the only person who can get that out of him is - you guessed it - Nix! ♥
Which brings me to my boyfriend the LUSH. Look at his huge eyes! His porcelain skin! His soft and combed hair! This doesn't last very long...
But I can't rightly say I mind! Unf. Stubbbbble. Unf unf.
I love his full mouth and his slightly sleazy smirks. A lot.
I LOVE his scrunchy faced amusement at his boys and their silliness. I love that he conducts their impromptu singalong with his finger. &NIX;!
But most of all, I love his face. His rounded little nose particularly. Nix Nix Nix!
"Goin' my way?" (Actualfax quote! You can't make this shit up!)
And that, my friends, is (the majority of) Easy Company!
Don't they look so lovely in their PT gear?
Now... POP QUIZ!
Heehee, just kidding. I'll help you out! L to R: Harry Welsh, Buck Compton, ???, Joe Toye, George Luz, Dick Winters, Floyd Talbert, Don Malarkey, Skip Muck, Doc Roe, andmy boyfriend Lewis Nixon! Watch BoB twice and you, too, can name them all from a tiny picture of their dirty faces! :D
Whew, that was fun! I hope you enjoyed it too. <333 There's more to come, if there's interest! I have >4000 hi-def caps, so um. Yes. MOAR. :D
I promise you, this series is worth your time. This is a beautiful piece of storytelling and character building, simple as that. Also, though, it's fascinating and moving and educational about a very important time in the world's history. You won't regret it!
So if you like pretty men, particularly ones in uniform, have I got a treat for you. Twenty-six of them, to be precise.
Also, the caps are BIG. None of this namby-pamby shrinking and recoloring bullshit. They are big (1000x625 px) and hi-res and unadulterated. PLEASE use them for icons or whatever you want, and if you want the FULL full size (1440x900) of anything, let me know!

Date: 2010-04-19 02:04 am (UTC)Though I have to ask, is there any chance you have a zipfile for other BoB caps? It's ok if you don't, I was just curious, because the graphics-maker in me is in love with these caps. ;)
Thanks again for sharing! :)
no subject
Date: 2010-04-19 02:09 am (UTC)Well, I don't know if you've seen them but I've made 3 other BoB picspams - Liebgott, Doc Roe, and the cinematography. I posted zip files for Lieb and Doc Roe, but I could easily zip up any other caps you might be interested in. What would you most like? I have thousands of them, and several gigs worth, so I'd have to pick and choose for you!
You are very welcome. :) Did you make that icon you're using? It's so crisp and pretty - Nix! <3

Date: 2010-04-20 02:03 am (UTC)I actually did see them (they are just as awesome as this one, by the way! :D), but I didn't want to bombard you with repetitive comments XD. Oh wow, really? That would be super great! If you're sure you don't mind, I'd love any pics you have with Nixon and/or Nixon and Winters. And if you're super bored, then Luz would be great as well, but only if you have nothing to do ;). Seriously though, that would be wonderful! Thank you! :)
I actually did, thank you! If you want/are interested, I can make a couple Band of Brothers icons for you as a thank you for the caps you're generously giving me :). Thanks again! :D
Nix! ♥
no subject
Date: 2010-04-20 02:11 am (UTC)And of course I have a million trillion zillion Nixters caps - I'll try to narrow it down, but you might end up with a beast of a file, if that's okay? If you have slow internet I can keep the size down, but that will take some work and I won't be able to get to it tonight - working on a final paper, oy. I will get those to you soon though, because you can totally repay me by just making any and all Nixters icons, together or just Nix, because I love Dick but I LOOOOOOVE Nix. As it seems you do, hee. :D Girl after my own heart!
Other characters I have dedicated folders of caps for are: Lipton, Speirs, Harry, Guarnere, Buck, Bull, Webster, and the Muck/Malarkey/Penkala pile of adorable. Any of those particularly interest you?
no subject
Date: 2010-04-20 09:30 pm (UTC)Oh, boy! :D Oh no, put as much as you wish. I may explode a few times from all of the pretty, but it's a sacrifice I'm willing to make ;). Don't worry, take as much time as you need, I know how you feel. Papers are annoying :(. Ahaha, I don't think it will take toooo much trouble to make Winters/Nixon or Nix icons, seeing as I'm pretty much programed to make those automatically XD. Ahhh, another Nix lover! What can I say? His eyebrows slay me ;). That, and everything else about him.
Oh wow, really? Heh, I'm super tempted by all of them, but if you don't mind, I'd love a Guarnere folder and a Speirs folder too. :)
Thanks again for doing this! I really appreciate it, and it is making me super excited to make BoB graphics. :D
no subject
Date: 2010-04-21 03:14 pm (UTC)So, uh, I had over a gigabyte of Nix and Winters caps alone (!), so I've split them up by episode groups. They're mostly in order, but sometimes i would go back and cap things later so there's some jumping around, hope that's okay.
Nix and Winters caps:
Currahee and Day of Days
Carentan/Replacements/Crossroads
Bastogne/Breaking Point/Last Patrol
Why We Fight
Points
And, as a bonus, Guarnere and Speirs! Whew! Hope you have as much fun rolling around in these as I did capping them. :D I'm still trying to put them all to good use - more picspams, of course, but I'm a good ways into making a Nix/Winters moodtheme, hee. Can't wait to see what you make of them!
no subject
Date: 2010-04-22 08:31 pm (UTC)Oh, I will most certainly have fun with these. I'm super excited to work at these. Hell, I'm excited to simply stare at them. I'm gonna be wicked busy the next few days, so I won't be able to start making icons with them til then, but when I do, I'll probably make more than I can handle ;). And a big YES to more picspams and a Nix/Winters moodtheme. I can't wait to see those. :D
Thank yooooouuu! These are beautiful!! Your work is appreciated! :D

I never did get into the BoB fandom, with the mainlining fics and writing though. I think it's because I'm not really feeling it with the Nixters which is the mothership. XD
Haha, I noticed you're also into The Pacific and White Collar and Big Bang Theory and SPN, and Merlin, and Justified and WATCHMEN OMG, and The Boondock Saints and bestest of all YOU DID AN EPIC PICSPAM OF EPIC PROPORTIONS for bb GERMANY. So much <33333333. I hope you don't mind me friending you! :DD

Date: 2010-07-05 06:59 pm (UTC)Hahaha. I love it when RL meets fandom. I keep the two mostly separate though, other than a few RL friends into slash and TV marathons.
So I'm super amused about RL colliding with fandom. Like the other day, I overheard a fangirl going on about Schweinski. I nearly toppled over in shock. LOL.
Also OMG, I'm just reading through your past entries (OMG WUT, /stalker) and your lab and science and RL adventures sound totally awesome.
And DUDE JACOB PITTS where has he been all my life. Hoosier and Tim Gutterson OMG WHAT!!!!
Also, confession: I'm super super super NERVOUS about the Germany-Spain semi-finals OMG. MY DARLING GERMANY pls win this k? I cannot take another heartbreak, watching you play your heart out to lose to Italy DD: Please don't let it happen with Spain, bbs.

Date: 2010-07-05 08:47 pm (UTC)Are you in Germany then? That would make the most sense for you to hear about Schweinski, otherwise that is one massive coincidence! Haha.
I have had a very adventuresome summer! Glad you're enjoying reading about it, hee.
I'M TERRIFIED OF WEDNESDAY TOOO. I'm far far too invested now. It's a dangerous thing - I get my heart COMPLETELY invested and then I'm totally unable to disengage. I will be crushed if they lose. BUT THEY WON'T! BECAUSE THEY PLAY THE BEAUTIFUL GAME. I have so much faith. ♥

Date: 2010-07-06 04:27 pm (UTC)I'm not in Germany. I'm in Asia, but over here, we're huge supporters of Germany (at least from what I gather) and Spain (BAH!!) It was a very pleasant toppling over though! 0___0
Also fuck fuck fuck fuck. Did you see Paul's prediction? FUCK. He's fucking WRONG, GERMANY is going to steamroll Spain! Imma have to cut an octopus. OMG, prayer circle, prayer circle, prayer circle!!!!!!!! You're so close boys, bring it home!!

Date: 2011-06-20 07:52 pm (UTC)I know it was there so I hunted it down again. I just finished Carentan and besides Nix and Winters (obviously!) and Malarkey and "Gonorrhea" I don't know any name and WHY DO THEY LOOK SO ALIKE WITH ALL THEIR GEAR AND THE DIRT.
Ahhh. They should, I don't know, wear a name-tag all the time. Together with their rank because I suck at ranks and I always don't know who gives orders to who and omg, so confusing.
BUT: I can't stop watching. That is a good sign, I guess? ;)

Date: 2011-06-21 04:44 pm (UTC)Just finished the last episode 10 minutes ago and I already want to watch the Currahee again. Duh.
Guess I'll do some Making of watching instead. Otherwise my neighbours may be get suspicious/annoyed buy all the BOOM and BANG and all the gun-shooting because they heard nothing else for two days coming out of my apartment. Oops.
