When I first sat down to watch Das Boot, I looked at the running time, and thought "holy smokes I'm never going to make it through this". After the movie started and the subtitles appeared, I thought, "I'm REALLY not going to make it through this". 4.5 hours later, I dubbed it one of the best 80s films I've ever seen. Such a great claustraphobic feel to it. Bernie (Boom Boom) Geoffrion worked Atlanta Flames games in the 1970s with the splendid Jiggs McDonald. One night, Geoffrion said, "Jiggs, there are only three things to hockey: shooting and skating." McDonald said, "Right, Boomer. And what's the third?" The exasperated Geoffrion replied," Jiggs, that's the three. Shooting. And. Skating."

I don't know how you could be voted down for watching a Wim Wenders movie, so there must be someone who doesn't like Petersen (or German TV) :) On Wings Of Desire: What do you think of the translation? Or do you speak German? Peter Handkes verses are quite complex in German already. "Als das Kind Kind war, wußte es nicht das es Kind war...." Magic.
We say "get a life" to each other, disappointed or jokingly. What we forget, though, is that this is possibly the most destructive advice you can give to a geek.
