ost_uid0]This is by far the best version of this block I've seen. There are plenty of good ideas, and I personally give Sa'ar props for his good work, and is humility to hold off on jokes for later blocks (we still have a whole big ol' chunk of film to go through).
As to combining scenes - they work if you can make the seen work, I think putting it together with the "hear to shoot people" bit makes it too clumsy and it distracts from the heart of the joke.
Good stuff though. I'll put in my two cents a little further up the road, or sooner, not "soon"er... um, yeah.[/color
