    Numbers that end in 5

    I think Mr. O'Hehir's comment that included Mr. Gilliam's age was less about age itself than it was about stagnation: "We get it. You're also 65 years old, and it's getting tired".

    Also, according to the IMDB, Johnnie To's "Election" was made in 2005, not 1995. (There's also a missing close-quote on "Election" in the article, but I can't mention that because it doesn't conform to my "Numbers that end in 5" theme.)
