Agreed...


it gives you an good insight on human nature too. I thought it was
interesting that when they hit the convoy and the captain and crew
were taking a pridful grin and saying , "hear those bulkheads
crumble?" Even though doing their job, they had the attitude of being
the true victors in the fight., then come the destroyers and sub
chasers throwing depth charges over baord. Then you see the anger from
the captain;"Those pigs! Those dirty SWINE!" Like, you're not
supposed to do that, you're picking on us!"

Anyhow thats how I saw it.

Hollywood license? I don't see how anyone could survive any type of a
fire on a Uboat, especially like the one they had, besides consuming
most of the limited suply of oxygen, the smoke would be the worst. But
for some odd reason, it was a "clean" fire. go figure.

Then there was the food hanging every where. May as well, I suppose.


Another thing that got me, was that after surfacing to polish off the
tanker, The captain made a good hit on it, the moved in to watch it
sink. Then notice that there were survivors on the tanker that wer
jumping overboard, he was angered that the rest of the convoy had left
them there after 6 hr.s, then made the decision to leave them to the
fate of the sea. One helmsman broke down into tears because there was
nothing to do for the lost crewman, but I think I can understand the
decision of the captain, that he had no room for prisoners, and this
was a wartime decision that could have been critical to his own ships
saftey.

Hard decision to make, and afterwards, probably even harder to live
with.

It's an absolutely astonishing movie,


Ones like or dislike in a movie is subjective.

It is spectacular on a good, surround sound system playing in DTS. * With a
large subwoofer and decent speakers, the depth charge explosions and sounds
of water running down the walls of your room gives you goosebumps.

That's right: there were no spectacular movies prior to the advent of
overblown consumer electronics. *:)- Hide quoted text -

I saw it when it first came out... quite a few years ago.

Why, if you'd rather watch it using a 3" scratchy TV speaker instead
of "overpriced consumer electronics" surround sound?

So you pet your puppy Don, but trash Eisboch, for posting essentially
the same information? You never cease to amaze me, Krause.

Didn't he put his usual smiley face after his post to Eisboch. Krause is
very careful to maintain his suckup status!

It is funny as hell to watch how fast Krause can back off what he says.



What is funny is to watch you blow your nose all over this newsgroup.
You really truly are a nasty old fart.

An attempt was made by all but JohnHerring, Reggie and Loogie to improve the
tone of this NG. *They rejected it and continue(d) with their crap.

And they claim to be adults.

As I said all along, those 3 are the reason we have lost (and continue to
lose) valuable members here.

The past few days of their posts once again proved that.

A shame.- Hide quoted text -

Jim, did you even NOTICE the tone of your boyfriend's reply to John?
What had Harry done in the past couple of days to work toward your
improvement of the group? Nothing. Then I ask Harry a question about
his father's trans-atlantic crossing and ensuing fireboat welcome, and
you say that I'm rejecting changing the tone of the group. I asked
what had I said that was in any way shape or form negative? You still
haven't answered. Do you consider it a negative post when I ask Harry
about something that HE claims happened? If so, why?
