“Dial “M” for Murderer!"

“Ich kann nichts dafür, was ich tue”?“I can’t help what I do”?I guess. There was the polonium poisonings and the defenestrations. Psychopathy has been ramping up.

Referencing the 1931 German film “M”, with Peter Lorre as a murderer who preys on children. Excellent cartoon, Jeff.

Kremlin TV Just Declared War on… Arnold Schwarzenegger

Murdering a child, looking at the river but thinking of the sea, in Germany before the war. Peter Kurten murdered one child but Germany managed to kill millions in the death camps during the war.

Fritz Lang’s “M” — but not yet, perhaps soon.

The bleedin’ facts of the bleedin’ case: When Vlad Putin helped to prop up his fellow dictator, Syria’s Assad, he helped Assad to massacre more than half a million Syrians, mostly civilians. Even if Putin’s own share in this was only ten percent (no knowledgeable person thinks that it is that low), he committed more than *50,000 * murders. He was a war criminal years ago, and he was KNOWN to be a war criminal years ago. This was why ALL patriotic Americans, whether liberal, conservative, or (like myself) moderate, were sickened by Donald Trump’s collusion with Putin. (And that was beford Trump became a traitor to the United States of America.)

There’s a movie I haven’t seen in a long time. It’s excellent; a chilling portrayal of evil so vile that the police ultimately lean on the criminal underworld hard enough to force them to unify and find the guy for them. So, now who’s going to put the chalk M on Putin’s back?

M is a 1931 German thriller film directed by Fritz Lang and starring Peter Lorre in his breakthrough role as Hans Beckert, a serial killer of children. An early example of a procedural drama, the film centers on the manhunt for Lorre’s character, conducted by both the police and the criminal underworld.

The film’s screenplay was written by Lang and his wife Thea von Harbou and was the director’s first sound film. It features many cinematic innovations, including the use of long, fluid tracking shots, and a musical leitmotif in the form of “In the Hall of the Mountain King” whistled by Lorre’s character. Now considered a timeless classic, the film was deemed by Lang to be his magnum opus. It is widely considered one of the greatest films of all time, and an indispensable influence on modern crime and thriller fiction.

Scary, sir.

He wants to take back the Carpathian Mountains, where that other Vlad left so many corpses.

My shower thought this morning was that the Russian invasion is really a nation-scale re-enactment of the movie “Home Alone”

Brilliant!
