Awesome. What kind of cycle did you and Ralf agree on? If it's necessary I can stay on board until he's back in Germany and then leave the comm to the two of you.

Cool. I'll just give you that week and then ask again. I could make it but I'd be really glad if I didn't have to.

One of my favorite stories and movies. All of the films are good in their own way, with Yojimbo and A Fistful of Dollars being iconic. Walter Hill's adaptation (Last Man Standing) is a solid modern punch up, but it's easily the weakest of the three. And although the concept is similar, these movies are really nothing like Red Harvest aside from the premise of one man coming into a town full of corruption and playing all of the bad guys against each other in order to wipe themselves out.
