  1. I’m pretty sure that’s not the 2017 version of The Magnificent Seven (; That said, wow, that movie made zero splash…

    I’m wondering what would be funnier, someone expecting the 1944 Brazil accidentally watching Gilliam’s or the other way around.

    • That’s what I get for trying to finish this column while doing tech support for a work location 279km away via text message at the same time. The date is fixed.

      As for Brazil, somebody got confused, but not quite that confused. The review describes a National Geographic special from 2012, as opposed to this musical!
