       I can't remember the name of the film, but in it a journalist was
documenting the last days of a person on Death Row.  I recognized am M6
around his neck right away, only when he slowly brought the camera up to
his eye, and gently pushed the shutter release, there was a sudden
"KER-CHUNK-VRRRRRRRRRRR"!
It was enough to actually make me leap out of seat in shock!
