[quiet roar]

Probably too old for most of the BL crew to know, but Man from U.N.C.L.E. hero, Napolean Solo, and member of the Magnificent Seven, Robert Vaughan died on Friday, 2 days short of his 84 birthday.

he was in the magnificent seven! anybody who's considering seeing the remake from this year should just skip it and (re)watch the 1960 original.

They did a remake?

Ali's advice is spot on - don't watch the remake, watch the original (and the Seven Samurai by Kurosawa!). And that's sound advice for most (possibly all) remakes such as The Italian Job and Conan the Barbarian.
