...bags into his trunk and say goodbye. Two days after the interview I get the call I had been expecting. DiCaprio intends to send me a two-page fax, restating some of the themes he wanted to state in the article. Paragraph six includes excerpts from the Lonely Planet's guide to Thailand, saying how The Beach didn't cause environmental damage to the Thai island they filmed on.

...After crawling through a spectacular desert wasteland the group stumbles upon a mysteriously abandoned scientific settlement. Meanwhile, group membership has started to decrease. Apparently, something on the planet likes to eat people alive, which gives us the warning about being afraid of the dark: these creatures are physically hurt by the light and will only eat you alive in the dark. Good thing it's never night because there are three suns, remember...
