2. I emphasize that this is only the fifth of ten rounds

Because eventually someone's going to wander by and ask where the hell Don Vito is. There have been more rounds before this, and there are more rounds to come.

4. Whoever doesn't vote for Hans Beckert should be forced to

watch nothing but Freddy Got Fingered until their head explodes. M is by far the single greatest police proceedural, crime drama, underworld caper drama, serial killer film ever made.




If you don't vote for M, this is what you get-


"OH GOD NO!!!! MAKE IT STOP!!! SOMEONE MAKE IT STOP!!!"
