    @Nuh:
    I've only seen parts of Gpt1, and that was enough for me!
    Never saw pts. 2 and 3...
    I'll take your word for it!

      lol. It's not for everyone.

      I have to add that Pt. 2 is my favorite, by far. 🙂

    Oh dang, how about Nicky (Pesci) getting taken out in Casino. That would be a bad way to go.

    I still wonder what happened to this guy...this killing seems to be really up close and personal!
    (Of course, most are...)

      Yo entiendo.

      Could this be an Argentinian New Year's tradition, gone horribly wrong?

    @Nuh:

    Well, they shoot guns off at midnight here in the US also, abut they generally shoot them up into the air, and not at someone's face...
    That being said, that's a good point!

    Can't go much more wrong than *that*!

    Love to find out more...

    Hi, I'm from Argentina and I want to say that the governor's wife was the murderer, the cause is infidelity (supposedly).

    And, I'll add that I am surprised that the Americans, appear, who scoff at this. to Case, the Argentines are objects of derision?.

    I wonder what happens if a Governor of you(Americans) is killed in the same way.

    Should be talk about this murder, And not talking about any stupidity.

    Greetings "EDOC32"
