Just a bit of a weird side note, but it jumped out at me.

Whoever (or is it Whomever?) was responsible for churning out all of the promotional propaganda for that piece was really having trouble with his/her 'it-work.'

• They forgot to include the word "it" when writing “making appear” instead of “making it appear”.

• They errantly added a possessive apostrophe to the word its to make it wrongly read its' at least twice in the write-up.

It will be similar to the 1970s and 80s, when everything you bought was made in Japan, and the booklets and other printing had those funny little grammatical quirks. That prepped us for the following decades when everything was made in China, with entire sentences unintelligible or drop-dead hilarious. But hey, the stuff they made was good and cheap, so who cared?
