Legion offers intriguing insights into where this all could be heading in another delightfully twisted episode...

1.6 Chapter Six

Primarily I’ve had nothing but positive things to say about Legion’s addictively disorienting first season, but I have criticised the show in the past for stalling the story. That ends tonight; this episode’s recess from the plot while David, Syd, and the Summerland crew are trapped inside David’s mind with The Devil with the Yellow Eyes is not only full of the stylistic flourishes that make the series great, but it’s also illuminating. This episode begs the viewer to look at the series from a different perspective while delivering key pieces of information and hints about where things might be heading.

Tony-winner and Grammy nominee Lena Hall returns to Cafe Carlyle with Oh You Pretty Things, running through June 25. The all-new show acts as a love letter to Lena's rock amp roll spirit guides, the pantheon of misfits and rebels who inspired us to transcend by transforming themselves. This intimate journey through Lena's personal love life will reveal how pivotal these artists have been in helping her navigate her relationships, shining like beacons and helping her shape her voice and her identity, again and again. At Cafe Carlyle, Lena Hall will be joined by a band including Justin Craig, Watt White and Brian Fishler. Oh You Pretty Things is directed by Stephen Amato.

Jj Abrams surprised many people by revealing a movie he produced in secrecy during the Superbowl, 10 Cloverfield Lane. Many people got excited, but some of us saw it as something more. Almost immediately after the announcement many communities sprung up again, Reddit was in full bloom, and Cloverfield fans woke up from their lengthy naps. Why? Well Cloverfield was rather known for it’s Arg (Alternate Reality Game) that led up to release, and many fans assumed 10 Cloverfield Lane would follow suit. They were right.

You see it wasn’t Cloverfield itself that was so amazing to me. Jj Abrams might be a big inspiration to me, and his big monster movies might be thrilling to watch, but Cloverfield did something more than just be a movie. It created a universe that is fun to explore, it opened up channels, and it was pure marketing genius.

The music world has been gutted by the tragic and untimely death of David Bowie, not least because many fans never had the pleasure of seeing him perform onstage. The clips below, of course, are no substitute, but rather a humble collection of some of the best Bowie performances available online today. In no way is it meant to be comprehensive, and we encourage you to add your picks in the comments."Space Oddity," Hits a Go Go (1969) Bowie serving better 'fro than Marc Bolan. "Starman," Top of the Pops (1972) Bowie's Top of the Pops debut marks the first of many examples of his fashion genius. Also seen prominently here: guitarist Mick Ronson, Bowie's go-to collaborator at the time. "Oh! You Pretty Things," Old Grey Whistle Test (1972) Bowie at the piano looking ever the class act. (Fun fact: This didn't make it to broadcast until ten years after it...

Now that the adaptation of James Dashner's "The Scorch Trials" is two-thirds done, and the final installments of "The Hunger Games" and "Divergent" are coming, it's time to think about which young-adult books will translate well to the big screen.

And we're not just going to list the obvious, like name all of John Green's books (although "Looking for Alaska" is already in pre-production). We're going straight to the source - fellow young adult authors, many of whom have their own titles optioned and in the works.

Here are 14 Ya and children's authors' picks for the books they wish would get green lit.

Only a few days out from the release of his new “definitive collection” box set, David Bowie has released a suitably noirish new music video for “Sue (Or In A Season Of Crime)”. Directed by Tom Hingston and photographer Jimmy King, the video features footage of Bowie and the Maria Schneider Orchestra recording the track in a studio, superimposed atop shots of a dark, smoke-filled city. “Sue” and Bowie’s recently released demo “Tis a Pity She Was a Whore” will be released both as a digital single and a 10-inch vinyl, first in the U.K. on November 17th, then as a “Black Friday” in the U.S. on November 28th. The video was made to promote “Nothing Has Changed,” a new retrospective box that presents songs from throughout Bowie’s career in reverse chronological order. Watch the video below.

Here are the tracklists for the various digital download,...

Only a few days out from the release of his new "definitive collection" box set, David Bowie takes you out to an alley and laments your death. The Thin White Duke has released the new music video for "Sue (Or In A Season Of Crime)" that's black and white and film noir all over. Serving more as a lyric video than a narrative, the clip is directed by Tom Hingston (who leads a British creative agency) and photographer Jimmy King. It subtly lets you focus on the small story Bowie's telling of Sue, and the humming contributions of the Maria Schneider Orchestra and Grammy Award-nominated saxophone honcho Donnie McCaslin. "Sue" and Bowie's recently released (and dizzyingly titled) demo "Tis a Pity She Was a Whore" were released in promoting "Nothing Has Changed," a new retrospective box set from Bowie and Columbia/Legacy. It comes in a variety of formats --...

TV producer-director Rico Martinez from Maker Studios joined the company as its new chief programming officer. Martinez will be in charge of Endemol Beyond USA’s content and programming with an emphasis on comedy, scripted originals, music, and reality. As such, he’ll be helping some of the company’s talent like Pitbull, beauty YouTuber Michelle Phan, and Viner Brittany Furlan create premium content for their fans.

Though he is known for his gruff, tough-guy roles in movies like Dirty Harry and Gran Torino, Clint Eastwood is a hugger. While shooting Jersey Boys, the cast got to see what Eastwood was like as a director - and a dad when he cast his daughter Francesca Eastwood as a waitress. "He would hug her and they would chitchat on set," says Katherine Narducci, who plays Frankie Valli's mother in the movie version of the hit Broadway musical about the legendary Four Seasons' rags-to-riches rise to fame. Eastwood, 84, told People that he enjoyed the father-daughter bonding time on set,...

When a film opens with David Bowie’s Oh! You Pretty Things, it has set itself up for greatness. Instantly intrigued and endeared to the project at hand, the next, and somewhat more challenging job for the filmmaker, is to then maintain that distinction, and director Stacie Passon does a more than commendable job, in what is an accomplished debut feature film.

Robin Weigert plays Abby, who finds herself rushed to hospital by her partner Kate (Julie Fain Lawrence) when her two kids accidentally throw a ball at her, cutting the side of her face open. It’s this act of clumsiness which proves to be the icing on the cake for the property developer, who longs for something new in her life, something licentious, to take her away from the tedium of this modern suburbia and the ring of Stepford Wives surrounding her. So when the opportunity arises to...

★★★☆☆ Stacie Passon's debut film Concussion (2013) explores the modern ennui suffered by liberal cookie-cutter wives - with a twist that the female in question is a lesbian with her own partner and children. Beginning with a slightly satirical opening featuring a gaggle of middle-aged Stepford Wives doing a spinning class (as David Bowie's Oh! You Pretty Things plays over the opening credits), we enter a world of free-thinking, good-looking women, bemoaning their non-existent flabby thighs and ageing skin. One such woman is property developer and interior decorator Abby (Robin Weigert), who's no longer satisfied with her 2:4 lifestyle.

Maker Studios is living up to its last name: studios. The company has long been managers, agents, and brand-brokers for the 1 percent of social media personalities that can generate financially viable traffic. But now amid its nearly $1 billion acquisition to Disney, Maker is turning its focus to the creation of original content, not just shepherding and marketing their talent's self-produced creations. First up, a lifestyle series about millennials in Los Angeles called “Oh, You Pretty Things.” (No relation to the 1971 David Bowie song.)

The big payoff moment. The money shot. The Omg/Wtf/Nsfw scene in horror. These are the moments that define films. The moment that either grosses and disgusts or shocks the audience in such a way that they have to come back for the sequel. Here are our Top 13 Wtf Moments in Horror.

We're going to try to keep this to relatively mainstream films. That's not to say that some lesser known indies haven't had some shocking moments, but things seem that much more disturbing when the movie in question reaches a wide audience.

Beginning with our honorable mentions, we've got to include I Spit on Your Grave, one of the most censored and banned films of all times. Camille Keaton played Jennifer Hills who was raped for the better part of the first half of the film. Plenty of Nsfw moments there. Also those infamous shit-eaters in Salo: 120 Days of Sodom were certainly shocking.

Maker Studios is best known for managing its network of YouTube partners, but a recent partnership will give it a web series of its own. Maker has teamed up with fashion brand Nylon for Oh, You Pretty Things, its first scripted drama series. As first reported by USA Today, Oh, You Pretty Things will follow a group of young "20-somethings" who are trying to make it in the fashion and music world of La's Eastside neighborhood. The series will star Francesca Eastwood, daughter of Clint, as a lifestyle blogger. The series will run for ten episodes on The Platform, Maker's fashion channel. A "first look" posted to that channel gives viewers a taste of what to expect: Maker's partnership with Nylon will also extend beyond one web series, as Maker will also produce content for Nylon's own YouTube channel

While the multichannel YouTube network awaits a big buyout payday, it has signed a deal to create its first scripted drama series. Maker Studios, which last week thwarted Relativity’s acquisition bid weeks after making a deal with Disney potentially worth $950M, has partnered with the fashion/lifestyle brand Nylon. They will create programming for the Nylon TV YouTube channel, starting with Oh, You Pretty Things, starring Francesca Eastwood. The 10-episode series follows a lifestyle blogger and her group of twentysomething trendsetters looking to make their big break in the underground music and fashion scene on La’s Eastside. Sarah Dumont, Tui Asau, Alexander Nifong and Matthew Grathwol co-star. The show will premiere May 19 on Maker’s fashion and beauty channel The Platform.

Based on the original 70s British TV series of the same name and starring Robbie Amell (1600 Penn, Revenge), Luke Mitchell (Neighbours, Home and Away), Peyton List (Mad Men, FlashForward), Aaron Yoo (21, Disturbia), Madeleine Mantock (Casualty, Edge of Tomorrow) and Mark Pellegrino (Lost, Supernatural, Revolution), The Tomorrow People is a brand new sci-fi series set to make its UK debut on E4 next month. With that in mind, we sat down with executive producers Phil Klemmer and Danny Cannon to talk about what we can expect from this new iteration of the show and how much of an influence the original series has had on the pair…

How would you describe the genesis of this exciting new sci-fi show?

Phil Klemmer: I worked with Greg Berlanti on his Emmy-nominated television program,Political Animals. We were on location in Philadelphia and we had just shot the pilot, so we were flying back home.

Having wowed Venice audiences in the past with The Queen (Dame Helen Mirren picking up the best actress award here in 2006) and Dirty, Pretty Things, Stephen Frears returns to Venice, in competition with Philomena. Judging by the audience’s reaction, it appears he has wowed the festival again.

Philomena is “inspired by” the true story of Philomena Lee (Dame Judi Dench), an elderly Irishwoman living in London who finally decides to unburden herself of a secret: as a teenager she had become pregnant, was taken to the convent-run home for unmarried mothers and was disowned by her father. Her child, Anthony, was then adopted and she has been looking for him ever since. She tells her daughter Jane (Anna Maxwell Martin) this 50-year-old tale. By chance, Jane runs into wrongfully disgraced spin doctor Martin Sixsmith (Steve Coogan). Although he claims to want to write a book on Russian history, Sixsmith...

In news that will please the yearnings of many men, Christina Hendricks is set to play a stripper in the film adaptation of Gillian Flynn's best-selling thriller "Dark Places." The "Mad Men" actress joins Charlize Theron, Chloe Moretz, Nicholas Hoult and Corey Stoll in the Gilles Paquet-Brenner ("Sarah's Key," "Pretty Things") film.

Hendricks, who is no stranger to attracting buzz, plays Krissi Cates, who years ago accused a man (Stoll) of being a child molester. Krissi is down on her luck and must address secrets from her past that have implications for the accused man's older sister (Theron).

"Dark Places" marks one of two acclaimed Flynn novels to ink a movie deal recently. "Gone Girl," a 2012 best-seller, will receive a David Fincher adaptation, with Rosamund Pike and Ben Affleck in the lead roles.

"Places" reflects the continued elevation of Hendricks' big-screen presence in the wake of her "Mad Men" success.

Over the last few years, Steven Knight has made a name for himself as a writer of engaging and intelligent movies. His new film, Hummingbird sees him transition from writer to writer/director, and while it may not be for everyone, it’s certainly a well-shot, well-directed, well-acted and interesting take on the idea of gangland London.

We spoke to Knight about Hummingbird, his decision to turn his hand to directing, and his views on the way the future of the British film industry.

HeyUGuys: You’ve spent your career to this point carrying on the honourable profession of writing. What made you want to become a director as well?

Steven Knight: I know. It seems ridiculous doesn’t it? Writing is warm, and dry, and nice, and virtual, and everybody does as they’re told in your head. But no, I saw this as the third part of a trilogy,...

Within the first 60 seconds of the pilot episode of Mistresses, we have Alyssa Milano, looking sexier than ever, with cleavage to boot.

So far, we're off to a great start.

Alys—sorry, Savannah sidles up to a bar and immediately starts flirting with a handsome blonde man who is already sitting. They coyly flirt before leaving together, but first she tells him to put on his wedding ring.

When they get back to a bedroom, the man interrupts things with his beautiful Australian accent...that kills the mood. They're married and Savannah is ovulating and this was all just a role playing game that fizzled.

Meanwhile, at a Pretty Things store, we meet the beautiful April, who is embarrassed to find out her friend put an app on her phone which basically seems like the straight version of Grindr, and is causing a sketchy dude to hit on her.

Oscar winner Charlize Theron has gone to some dark places onscreen before (notably in "Monster"), and now she'll star in the film adaptation of Gillian Flynn’s bestseller "Dark Places." Gilles Paquet-Brenner ("Sarah's Key," "Pretty Things") will write and direct the film, in which Theron will play Libby Day, a woman who -- when she was only 7 -- was the sole survivor of a family massacre seemingly at the hands of her brother. She had testified against him, and 25 years later, is confronted by a criminal rights advocacy group who force her to recount her story in order to uncover a hidden truth. ...

Charlize Theron is getting her producing on. The “Snow White and the Huntsman” actress has signed on to not only star, but also produce “Dark Places”, an adaptation of the novel by Gillian Flynn. The murder mystery will find Theron playing Libby Day, “a woman who, at the age of 7, survives the massacre of her family and testifies against her brother as the murderer. Twenty-five years later, a group obsessed with solving notorious crimes confronts her with questions about the horrific event.” Originally published in 2009, “Dark Places” spent 25 weeks on the New York Times Bestsellers List. Gilles Paquet-Brenner (“Sarah’s Key”, “Pretty Things”) will direct and Exclusive Media will produce and finance the film alongside Denver and Delilah Productions with Hugo Productions and Mandalay Vision. Theron is coming off Ridley Scott’s “Prometheus” and the aforementioned “Snow White and the Huntsman” (again, she was the best thing about that movie...

Two top Hollywood actresses are going to get a chance to headline a pair of thrillers based on bestselling novels.

Jude Rogers salutes a film charting the struggle of indie record shops and their unsung owners

The British independent record shop hasn't had the rosiest time recently. More than 500 of them have closed in recent years, their racks emptied of glossy sleeves, peeling posters and lapel badges. This makes the arrival of a profitable film about them even more special. Last Shop Standing was crowd-funded by music fans and made in a month, and it has a history as heartfelt and ramshackle as the shops that it celebrates.

Released on DVD and on a screening tour of record shops and art centres this month, Last Shop Standing features cameos from Johnny Marr, Billy Bragg and Paul Weller – but this isn't a film about them. It's a film about Diane from Liverpool, owner of Musical Box, remembering the first Elvis single shocking her mother. It's about Brylcreemed octogenarian Laurie from Dales Records in Tenby,...
