You know, if the short story and the filmscript had come out
of the treatment, I could buy this...much like, say, Clarke
and Kubrick with 2001, even though the treatment was based on
"The Sentinel" by Clarke, however distantly...but this is
just playing around to keep MEMENTO out of THE FELLOWSHIP OF
THE RING's way, my colleagues suggest, and I think they're
right. TM

I'm thinking this is on topic, because I know this list has
discussed the short story that the movie Memento was based
on. And that's the question - how did the flick manage to get
a "best original screenplay" Oscar nomination? I swear the
credits said "based on the story by . . ." Was the
story not published before the film came out, or did somebody
at the Academy
goof?
