Warpaint has released a cover of Gang of Four’s “Paralysed,” off the upcoming tribute compilation The Problem of Leisure: A Celebration of Andy Gill and Gang of Four, in honor of the late guitarist.
The cover stays true to the original, opening with searing drums and a crunchy bass line from Jenny Lee, who also produced the track.
“‘The change will do me good,'” Lee said, quoting Gang of Four’s “Damaged Goods.” “Best piece of advice that pretty much changed my life. Not to mention Dave Allen...

Javone Prince is looking to bring back the sketch show with a vengeance, with his new BBC Two vehicle The Javone Prince Show.
PhoneShop star Prince has re-teamed with that show's creator - writer Phil Bowker - for his new series, which blends sketches with stand-up and musical performances.
"There's been a lot of talk over the last few years about the sketch show being dead," Bowker says. "I don't think it's dead at all.
"I think we got to a point where sketch shows got a little bit cool and ironic, and almost forgot to be funny - and so this was a deliberate attempt to roll back to those days when Javone and I used to watch Morecambe and Wise and Dave Allen.
"With all of those things, what was at the heart of those shows was the personality of the host."
Prince agrees: "You know, when you see Morecambe and Wise,...

Grant Morrison, Neil Gaiman, Pat Mills and John Wagner are amongst the talking heads in the first full documentary about the mighty 2000Ad.
It feels surprising that no one has attempted to chart the history of 2000Ad in a documentary before, given its legacy, but with its current upward trajectory and the devotion that it inspires (especially in the wake of the critically acclaimed but commercially melancholy film of Judge Dredd) it’s probably the best time to make a feature with a positive outlook.
Future Shock! is the work of Paul Goodwin, whose main task appears to have been assembling a wealth of talent to interview. With the exception of Alan Moore, Mark Millar and Garth Ennis, the big names are all present, which means you get to see Neil Gaiman sitting in front of an apparently colour coded bookcase, Bryan Talbot enthusiastically miming someone being impaled on a sword,...

How many road trips must season six of Parenthood go on before season six of Parenthood can stop taking road trips?That’s not a lyric from a Bob Dylan song. But it might be the mantra I repeat privately, in my head, when I go on a silent retreat this weekend, one I sincerely hope will not be rudely crashed by Crosby Braverman while being led by Lindsay Weir’s guidance counselor. (Hey, Dave Allen. Sup?)Seriously, let’s recap, in mid-cry-cap, all the recent Parenthood road-trip madness. During the season-five finale, Drew impetuously drove to Oregon. This season’s first episode featured Crosby and Adam taking that improbably spontaneous trip to Vegas, which followed Sarah and Zeek’s slightly less random trip to Vegas. Last week gave us National Lampoon’s Amber and Drew Go to Wyoming Despite the Fact That It’s a Long-Ass Drive. And this week,...

Tom Daley's Splash! returned to ITV with 4.76 million viewers, according to overnight data.
Michaela Strachan, Gemma Merna, Gemma Collins, Perri Kiely and Ricky Groves took to the pool for the competition's first heat, with a 20.4% average share of the audience from 7.20pm.

Food is often used as visual shorthand for sex at the movies – but, as in life, their real relationship is much messier
Fifty years ago came the release of a film with one of the most famous sex scenes in the history of cinema. Yet the couple don't even touch, let alone take their clothes off. In Tony Richardson's Tom Jones, Albert Finney and Joyce Redman share a wordless meal which becomes a kind of foreplay. They stare into each other's eyes as they lustily strip meat off bones, swallow whole oysters and stuff juicy pears into their dripping mouths. It is obvious from the first lick of the lips where this will end. And it's not washing up.
Food and sex seem as natural a screen coupling as Bogart and Bacall. Mickey Rourke and Kim Basinger exploring the sexy potential of a fridge's contents in 9½ Weeks. The lusty wedding...

"Well, the first thing is that I love monsters, I identify with monsters." — Guillermo del Toro
Greetings from the apocalypse! This week sees one of my most anticipated releases of the summer, "Pacific Rim," making land at the competitive blockbuster season. Whether it can survive at the box office, as the dismal tracking numbers bode ill for, is incidental, as it’s a miracle that such a bonkers movie exists at all, even in sweded form let alone $175-million-dollar form.
*Special Notice*
Brooklyn's Bottleneck Gallery has a new movie-themed art print show going up tonight titled "Where is My Mind," and yours truly has crafted a special tribute to one of my all-time favorite movies, Terry Gilliam's "Brazil." The exhibit runs through July 26, and prints go on sale online Saturday at noon. Check it out — there are some amazingly trippy pieces by some dynamite amigos that all film fans will go nuts for,...

The actor who made his name in Bronson talks about the punishing physical regime for his new cage-fighting role in Warrior, being typecast as a thug – and making it in Hollywood
The bed has been removed from the Soho hotel room where rising British film star Tom Hardy and I are to meet, leaving a vast carpeted brawling area. We could, I think as I await his arrival, mix it up like Oliver Reed and Alan Bates did in Women in Love, or as Hardy and his screen brother Joel Edgerton do at the denouement of his unremittingly butch new mixed martial arts film Warrior.
Hardy jogs into the room flanked by minders as if he's entering a boxing arena. How about sorting things out mano a mano, I suggest? It could make both our careers. He could get the slightly bonkers rep Christian Bale has had ever since he...

In his personal life, he has battled alcoholism and crack addiction. In his work, he has specialised in misfits and criminals. Tom Hardy's approach may not be conventional, but he is well on the way to becoming one of our great actors
Tom Hardy is incredibly tired. His fatigue is the sort that makes him stop mid-sentence and wonder what he's saying. He's got good reason. He was up all night in A&E with his girlfriend, the actress Charlotte Riley, whom he met when he was Heathcliff to her Cathy in the 2009 TV adaptation of Wuthering Heights. She's in bed now, "very unwell". He's also just finished producing, co-directing and acting in a micro-budget film called Myties Dynamo which he describes bewilderingly as "a thriller about suburbia – one of those old-school, black-comic Hungarian films, a bit like Man Bites Dog". He's also worried about his own dog, Max,...

Like Stanley G. Weinbaum, Henry Kuttner, Stan Winston and Dave Allen, Dan O’Bannon left our planet much too soon, leaving behind a world of saddened friends and fans. The sadness doesn’t linger, though, for Dan was a very funny man, and much beloved by those who knew him.
On February 9th, 2010, the New Beverly Cinema hosted the Grindhouse Film Fest’s tribute to Dan O’Bannon, with a double feature screening of “Lifeforce” and “Return of the Living Dead.” To experience Dan’s authentic adaptation of Colin Wilson’s seminal novel “The Space Vampires”, and his loopy, dead-on riff on zombie movies, in a Hollywood revival theater full of rabid fans, is to know what imaginative entertainment is all about.
In addition to such on-screen delights as an unveiled Matilda May, and demented lines such as “Send more cops!”, an informal RotLD cast reunion occurred.

Famous Monsters is immensely pleased to launch The Magic Lantern’s “Modern Mages” interview series with a conversation with Phil Tippett.
Phil Tippett, a full-in man
We met at Tippett Studios’ Main Building in a active, funky mixed-use neighborhood in Berkeley, where PR rep Lori Petrini gave me a quick but thorough tour of the various departments. What struck me while studying the many sculptures, puppets, models and sketches adorning the lobby, and later when screening the house demo reel, was the quiet ubiquity of Tippett Studio’s work.
Most of us will remember Phil’s tour-de-force from days gone by, the tauntauns and the Hoth ice battle from 1980’s “The Empire Strikes Back”. A strong heritage of character animation has led the firm to deliver monsters, talking animals and zoomorphic machines in quantity to the major studios, and yet I was surprised at how rarely I connected the studio to its memorably impressive work.

In the last few months I've talked a few producers who have been reading Dave Allen's Getting Things Done, the productivity manual. I read it a couple of years ago and by no means have adopted all of its recommendations. (A couple of things in it -- the Two Minute Rule and thinking of the Next Action -- are useful.) One problem is that it's too paper-oriented for me. But in the years since...
