WHY DOES APPLE DAILY HATE JOHNNIE TO?

Johnnie ToAt the HKIFF premiere of ELECTION 2, besides ushers prowling the aisles looking for folks pirating the film, Johnnie To made three requests of the audience. I can't remember the first one (but it may have been, "Give me $20."), the second one was a request not to pirate the film because, "Well, it is illegal." The third request was not to reveal the end of the film.

Good old Apple Daily! A sharp-eyed reader reports that sure enough, in yesterday's edition, Hong Kong's favorite scandal rag revealed the ending of the film. Hooray for freedom of the press.

A reader just informed me that the Apple Daily article does have spoiler warnings...after the ending of the film is revealed. So the article basically reads:

- ending of movie revealed
- spoiler warnings
- rest of the plot revealed

I love you Apple Daily!

Retards. I mean that in the worst possible way.
