Indeed...not that that's saying much...but Titanic didn't have cannibalism
OR hulk-outs!

Nonsense.  It's a submarine movie, and therefore, by definition, at very
least cool to look at.  Just like space movies!  Flix about closed-space
environments make it easy for the viewer to relate to the characters, and
when bad stuff happens, you know the only thing anyone could do is get
their shit together.  I'm looking forward to it, not least because I should
have finished _Cryptonomicon_ by then, and it should all tie in nicely.
The Brit soldier who really recovered the Enigma machine off a German
U-boat during the war was apparently the technical advisor, so it's
possible that _U-571_ might even be remotely accurate!  He's also got a
cameo - his name is NOT Robert Paulson, but David Balme.
