Have you seen the Howard Hawks film "Scarface" made in 1932?

Hawks put an "X" in every scene where someone was about to be murdered. The film is full of "X"s.

It seems fitting that Musk is changing the Twitter logo to an "X" marking clearly how he has murdered it.

It would be more appropriate if the blue iconic bird was riddled with bullet holes from a Tommy gun with a big "X" above it.

Looking for an old gangster movie? The 1932 "Scarface" kicks ass.

Paul Muni is so playful & scary & hot, frankly. The smirk & the way he walks. All the actors move distinctively, maybe from working on silent films & Vaudeville.

A portrait of life b4 machine guns were outlawed.
