Das Boot

Covers all genres: war, suspense, tragedy, high-tech, porn, comedy, pirate adventure, love story, nazis, musical; and since you can switch back and forth between the German and the English audiotrack, or turn on French subtitles, it's even a fancy foreign movie, perfect to impress the chick in your life.

I went to college in NYC for a spell. Went to his place a couple times with hopes of seeing him. Never did though. But, I met him in California when I was about 12. So, I wasn't too disappointed when I got to NYC and never spotted him.

Yes, I'm aware of that. It was a reference to don't ask [if you are a fan of one of the biggest faggot fuck liberal celebrties in Hollwood] and don't tell [us if you are a fan of one of the buggest faggot fuck liberal celebrties in Hollwood]. Hope that cleared that up.
