A true master having some fun...

I don't know if you all had a chance to see The Departed yet, but this little tidbit will make me go see it again for completely different reasons then the fact that it was the best movie of 2006.

First, I had no idea that Brian De Palma's Scarface starring Al Pacino was actually an updated remake of a film by the same name from the 1930's directed by Howard Hughes. As you can guess by Martin Scorcese's previous movie The Aviator, he's pretty intrigued by Howard Hughes, so much so that he incorporated X's throughout The Departed in homage to the original Scarface.
