Yea, I was talking to Pyro Tramp, however.
I think she knew it came from an Asian film when Monhan, who was winning for Best Adapted Screenplay, thanked the writers of Infernal Affairs, which she recognized as an Asian film.
With the new forum software, I can apply changes to the code with far, far less fear of having to re-apply them when the next upgrade comes around.

In other words, expect lots of little tweaks and improvements over the next week or two.
Well, if you've seen the commercial for Internal Affairs on DVD it makes mention of The Departed. However, it doesn't make that mention in the opposite direction. I'm guessing IA has more to gain from mentioning The Departed then the other way around.
It was a genuine question since i didn't watch the awards and recently got the DVD which made no mention to it. And Aus, how just by the word 'adapted' did you infer the movies Asian origins?

And Bobby, in regard to IMDBs top 250 list, i'm sure i read that for a film to rank in it, certain votes have to have come from more than just Johnny Fan Boy, which is why a film with the same amount of votes as film in the list and say an 8.4 rating don't make the top 250.
Photobucket's pissing me off. That's all.
Wow, after a month I finally finished a book that should have only taken 2 weeks to read. However, I can now read some Thomas Paine. I'm rather excited.
Holden, those who are on the IMDb message board have said as much. They're voting 10s without watching it.
Since Monahan won for Best ADAPTED Screenplay, it was obvious even to me (the uninitiated) that this came from what was originally an Asian film. It was clear.
And you know this how?
But most of those votes are from people who haven't seen it.
