OMG! - Das Boot the book - what an eye opener!
 

Hi, after seeing the movie a couple of times I mentioned to the wife that I would like a copy, so I recieved one at Christmas (not very appropriate! :D
Well it is not like the movie, it should be rated XXX :o
I will not quote from the book here or I might be ejected from the forum! :rotfl: :rotfl:
It's good though, but when I quote some passages to my wife, letting her know she bought the book, for some reason she puts her fingers in her ears! :rotfl:

I like the book a lot too - watch the movie again, you'll see in your mind now all those silent scenes are filled with the thoughts of the crew.

As for your wife: for some reason mine puts her fingers elsewhere... :lol:

For some reason I'm not going there!! :rotfl:

Man I gotta buy my wife that book

:rotfl: :rotfl: :rotfl: :rotfl:

Jesus, its not that X-rated....no more than any other book. What the hell are you guys reading normally...the Bible?!!!

Yes! :yep:

One of the Encore channels played the 5 hour version of Das Boot a few weeks ago.

I'm not sure if the designers of SSIII based a lot of the look and feel of the game on that movie, or if they are both so accurate that they just are the same.

Good stuff.

Sex.... love..... feeling good..... is more obscene and perverted than .....mistreating........killing... people?!!!!


Be able to stick a piece of chalk in your ass and write " Otto... Otto" on a black board takes more skill, creativity and humanity than pulling a trigger and shooting someone. :P

That Otto-Otto scene in the TV-series is hilarious :lol:

Just recieved the original (293 min) Das Boot on DVD a little over a week ago (still making the change over). I much happy lucky enjoyed this version. I'll never again watch my recorded VHS version. That can go to the Salvation Army. Pretty new new to DVD probably 18 months or so. To really complete the the change from VHS to DVD is to get the documentary series the World ar War. About twenty years ago I did the TV offer. Twenty-six episodes. six to eight weeks delivery. $26.95 + shipping & handling (about 2 1/2 years). After all was said and done ,just shy of $1000.00. I still think it was worth every penny. Now one get get the entire series on DVD, I think $149.00. Wow! times have changed.

:rotfl: :rotfl: :rotfl:

Yep!

The Book has some perverted lines and some ugly ones.
The first time i read it, I was pretty baffled too. Have only known the movie before. But, the Book is the best. You can see where the sanity ends and the dusk of war begins. :rock:
But who hasn't had such Inappropriate thoughts in the strangest situations!

:hmm:

PS. I read that LGB was kinda angry they didn't put those parts in the movie! :up:

As I recall it the movie is a lot dirtier in the original language. So it’s great fun to view it with Swedish subtitles (which is translated from the German with all the “mature� language included) but having the sound set to the English dubbed version, which is VERY cleaned up.

The subtitles kind of says what they really think, for example when one of the crew says “I want to party� the subtitles says “I want to f-ck.�
:lol:

If it wasn't on TV that late in the night I would watch Das Boot Directors cut tonight, although it's not as good as the 3 single parts. Must've seen it about 5 times by now. Have once started on the book, guess I have to get back to that some time.

After the book and the movie, I shall never look at limes and chalk the same way again, Ever.
