Open (NSFW) Thread: Adam Baldwin

I am still trying to figure out why 'Firefly' was cancelled. I enjoyed Adam's "public relations" character, Jayne.

Cheers for the man they call Jayne! I like Adam Baldwin so much, I even sat through his low-budget teamup with Tony Todd and Elizabeth Berkley, Control Factor, and KINDA liked it. If anyone needs me, I'll be in my bunk.

YUMMY!!!! Love me some Mucho Guys, gonna have a smile on my face today.

My favorite ALL TIME Adam Baldwin scene is when he "joins" the crew of Serenity.

Definitely a guy you want on your side. LOL.

"Do you know what the chain of command is here? It's the chain I go get and beat you with to show you who's in command."

The Hero of Canton: the Man They Call Jayne…..

Overlooking the fact Baldwin is from Illinois (I'm a cheesehead) I have to say he is one of my favorite actors and someone who's columns I try never to miss.

Oh, oh – and don't forget Adam Baldwin in that very short-lived (CBS, I think?) one-hour drama, "The Cape."

Back in the day, before the DVR, I videotaped a few episodes. I still have them.

Happy Birthday Adam Baldwin!

Brisco County Jr. too…but thank God we have a thousand episodes of House to watch into eternity.

I watch House, and it's a good show, but come on! Aren't we just seeing the same episode over and over now?

Funny you should post the scene from Full Metal Jacket just now. I got that movie last week and saw it again for the first time in 20 years. The scene shown here reminds me of the seen from Patton where George C Scott, tiring of the lack of progress his Army has made in forging the river in Itlay, goes across himself, showing the combat engineer how to do it.

He handles that M60 like it is as light as a pea-shooter!

My favorite Adam Baldwin character is as Jayne, in Serenity. Or Firefly. So many favorite scenes but when River beats him up in the bar? (but then she didn't fight fair!

Glad you are with us here, Adam…

Amen, sister.

Fredrick the great used to say discipline in the Prussian army was so strong, that even if an officer has no idea how to lead men his orders would still be obeyed.

I had the good fortune several years ago to meet Adam on the course at Rancho Park GC in L.A. He was in the group in front of us, and things backed up. So we ended up sitting there on one of the tee boxes chatting about golf. My friend was playing the same irons that he was (Henry Griffiths). When his group was ready to go he asked me if I wanted to have a bet with him…five dollars. At the ninth, we compared scorecards and he had beaten me handily. When I tried to give him the five dollars, he refused. I remember he was playing every hole from the very back of the each tee box, too.

At the time, I had no idea of his political leanings, but I had enjoyed him in "My Bodyguard", and I was pretty impressed to see what kind of person he was in real life. Now, I'm glad he's on the same side as me.

Happy Birthday Adam. I still have your five bucks.

"If you can't do something smart, do something right." HB @adamsbaldwin

a real good guy in 'Independence Day'; best scene where he got to blast the first alien in captivity with his service Beretta, followed by a decent bad guy turn in 'The Patriot' where he plays Mel Gibson's traitorous neigbor.

Good stuff, there.

Adam is DA MAN!!!!!

Who doesn't love Adam Baldwin?

I read in the imdb trivia section that Ermey was originally supposed to be a consultant only, but when he was demonstrating Drill Instructor demeanor – barking an order – even Stanley Kubrick stood up at attention.

Adam Baldwin, thanks for all the fun entertainment and thoughtful tweets. Hope you have a kickass birthday!

Chuck is actually the only thing on network TV able to lure me in right now. If it wasn't on I'd never watch them at all.

"Is this glass bulletproof?"
"No, sir!"

Happy birthday, Adam! I wish I could get you a Texas Flashlight, but they don't appear to be for sale… The last couple of Animal Mother's lines before his charge are what I imagine you might say on those really bad Twitter days when everyone seems to be petarded. Thank God you exist & for your contributions to the body of literature challenging ill conceived & unquestioned notions. Oh, & the acting thingy. Oh, & the brutal vanquishing of Larry's pretend daughter bashing alter ego. May I suggest that your next hash tag be #LotionyJazzHands?

Agreed. Stanley Kubrik and his team lay it all out there. The good, the bad and the ugly.

One of my favorites.

Happy Birthday Adam (we share the same birthday) and thanks for some great stuff over the years!

I heart, heart, HEART 'Firefly' and 'Serenity'; 'Full Metal Jacket' is one of my all-time favorites and okay, the girl in me just thought you were incredibly good looking in 'Independence Day.' (Something about the uniform and that "take no crap off the alien scum"? *bg*)

Have a great day and as someone already mentioned — glad you're on our side.

I enjoy your posts here; they make me think! Happy Birthday, and may God bless you and your family.

I thought he was great in My Bodyguard.

Why is that movie never on cable?

great line! Thanks…

It is actually his birthday, though. =)

No kidding! Too bad they're getting so hard to find these days with the metros taking over. Thankfully, this board's full of real men. =)

Happy Birthday!

My daughter introduced our family to Firefly, which we love. She attends Comic Con every year and the highlight was meeting Adam Baldwin and getting a picture with him. She is 21 and reads big hollywood daily. She was totally stoked to find Mr. Baldwin writes here. I introduced her to the bigs. WE LOVE JAYNE.

Is Adam going to do an epispode of Castle?

Happy B-Day! Keep up the good work!

Happy Birthday AB! I've been on a bit of a Chuck bender lately so can hardly wait for the new eps.

Best wishes.

ID on TNT right now. Harvey Firestein just bit the dust so that means Adam's parts are coming up soon.

Simon: There's a safe word. When I say the word…

Jayne: Well don't say IT!

Zoe: It only works on the girl Jayne.

Jayne: Oh. Well now I know it!

"Do you know what the chain of command is?! It's the rutting chain I use to beat you with till you realize who's in command here!"

Happy Birthday, Adam. Thanks for brightening all of our days with not just entertainment, but thoughtful, well-written commentary. Looking forward to more of both! Many happy returns!

Happy Birthday, Adam. Many happy returns.

What I heard was that Fox wouldn't show the pilot first (getting people acquainted with the characters) , then didn't show the episodes in sequence – then pulled the series in less than a year.

I have learned with Joss Whedon you have to really watch the episodes to get into his series – any series.

I am becoming a Buffy fan – how many years after it ended? Firefly – what rich characters and what a shame it was canceled – what was the Shepard's background? Every one of the characters had a rich history just waiting to reveal

Happy Birthday!!! You don't know what a joy it is to find someone in Hollyweird that leans to the right. I think I have learned more from you than I learned in any college class. Keep up the thought provoking tweets. I never would have dreamed that "Jayne" could be so smart.
You are my big damn hero

Happy Birthday, Animal Mother

"I'm gonna tear you a new a**hole!" to Bill Maher…I wish.

What am I the only one that remembers My Bodyguard? That movie is still awesome.

Adam, just have to say that like everyone else I loved you as Jayne in Firefly/Serenity. And I also really enjoy you as Col. Casey on Chuck too. But then, I also liked your short stint on Angel, your role in Independence Day, and pretty much everything else you put your stamp on. We could use a few more like you man.

Firefly Captain: I just want you to scare him a little.

Jayne: Pain is scary.

i laffed my arse off on that line!

Adam Baldwin is a dick. He's a right-wing loon and mean to his fans. In fact, I used to be fan until I found out, via a forum, what kind of jerk he really was.
