I always thought the sentence in the rule table "Adated from another medium" to mean that the movie being contributed is based on just another piece of art. Not that 'another medium' excludes every other movie it might be based on and makes them ineligible for credit.


That's the way I've always read it too. The rule says "another medium" not "a different medium". There is absolutely no reason to ignore OMB credits when they refer to an earlier film.


Bingo. 

I'm torn on if the director should get an OMB, but the screenplay writers definitely should.

On this, we most certainly can agree.
No dictator, no invader can hold an imprisoned population by force of arms forever.
There is no greater power in the universe than the need for freedom.
Against this power, governments and tyrants and armies cannot stand.

We will teach it to them again.
Though it take a thousand years, we will be free.

Totally off-topic but hasn't it been nice the last couple of days that we've been able to discuss things and even disagree about things without descending into insults?
