There's director's cut (Juergen Prochnow - lets call a spade a spade, when its due) of "Das Boot" on ARD at 22:10, so I have 40 minutes (g) to sit on the bandwidth. The book (it was the book first) was written by Lothar-Gèunther Buchheim - that's the guy in the film, who's scared shitless all the time;. He's been an art collector (since 1935 I guess) with the 1940-1945 interlude. He's quite an eye catcher - a Moshe-Dayan kind of eye-patch (diabetes?) and a everlasting hate of newspaper men. Must be a Bavarian (dont know though). He got some local politicians here in Bavaria build him a Uboot-like museum at the south side of Starnberg lake, which must be - according to what I am hearing - quite a beauty. Inside (exposition) and outside (landscape and architecture). Darn, seems like I will have to go and see the place. For all those, who are crazy about the "Das Boot" film, Hey, read the book.Talking from his experience - war is pure hell, in Kodak Panavision. I'll never forget his description of the lights and colours and hues somewhere out there in Atlantic, doing the routine zigzaging in a gale and waiting for inbound ships from Nova Scotia to appear in their periscope. What I wanted to share though, was not Das Boot from this side of Atlantic or Channel. It was my reading the story of the Charlotte islands' golden sitka spruce (New Yorker 15th October). Looks like McMillan Bloedel and life in general will never let me see the beauty of the nature the way she would be without human ... er ... intervention. I can just say that I count the few days I spent on Vancouver island among the gems of my life (can tell you that's quite a reference)... Doing the Pacific trail from Tofino to wherever - gimme a call, I'll come, I just wont be able to resist your call. RegZ dj
