God love you, you s**t-disturber! Imagine -- a forum for discussing LEICA FILM cameras! How quaint. Is this some lurid fantasy of yours? In Luis Bunuel's film, "The Discrete Charm of the Bourgeoisie," a group of people gather for an elegant dinner party. Except there is no dining at the dining table. If you want to eat, you must go hide yourself in the toilet, seated there with your plate of food balanced on your lap. The LUG is often like that. Talk of Leica -- especially B.D.'s "historical artifacts from the dying age of film" -- and film itself, is become taboo. Anything else, though, goes swimmingly. Pity poor Oskar and old Ernst. They were good Germans. Emanuel lowi Montreal ______________________________________________________________________ Post your free ad now! http://personals.yahoo.ca
