a couple bootleg reviews of martin scorsese's fall relaese the departed, a remake of the hong kong film infernal affairs.

i think i'll rent if, watch it again and review it for next week.

oh, look's like somebody in town mixed it. i forgot about that.

and here's a bit of a copy-editing question that has to do with the linked review. do you reference "tony leung" as "Tony Leung Chiu Wai" even though he is most commonly known as the former? I typically defer to imdb, but with this instance the full name seems a bit overkill. of course, as a copy editor, again, i'd defer to imdb.

What was is with the "cinema purists" crack about Scorsese? The hacks who made that movie are probably pissing all over themselves that Scorsese would even watch their movie, much less remake it.

Incidentally, let's not forget that me and Dub reviewed that movie back in March.

Thanks for the link on your site.

as head of the sacramento snob society, our board agreed that remakes contradict the tenets of cinema purity.
