Although Martin Scorsese is more commonly associated with movies than TV, he was involved with an HBO period drama that ran for five seasons between 2010 and 2014 and the show has been acknowledged criminally little since it ended a decade ago. Granted, Martin Scorsese's TV projects are more numerous than just the show in question, but running for five seasons makes it the director's most successful foray into the medium by far. Martin Scorsese's iconic camera shots are often what can stick out most in his projects, but many other elements combine to create his stories.

Not every Martin Scorsese movie has been a hit, and not all of them have remained in the zeitgeist as much as some of his more legendary efforts, like 1976's Taxi Driver or 1990's GoodFellas. Regardless, he is one of the most influential and best directors of all time and has already gone down in...

Dennis “Machine Gun” Thompson, the founding MC5 drummer and the last surviving original member of the pioneering proto-punk group, died Wednesday, The Detroit Free Press reported. He was 75.

An exact cause of death was not given, though Thompson had reportedly suffered a series of medical issues in recent months, including a heart attack in April.

Thompson’s death comes just a few months after the February death of his MC5 bandmate, guitarist Wayne Kramer, and the April death of John Sinclair, the group’s manager. A few months after Sinclair’s death,...

Jimmy Kimmel had Seth Meyers on his show last month, and now Meyers is repaying the favor.

For the first time ever, Jimmy Kimmel will appear as a guest on Late Night with Seth Meyers next Monday, May 13th.

Kimmel has plenty of projects to promote. In addition to Jimmy Kimmel Live, he’s an executive producer on the Hulu reality series High Times, and he’ll host the newly revived celebrity primetime edition of Who Wants to Be a Millionaire this summer.

Plus, with Kimmel’s recent mention in former President Donald Trump’s ongoing criminal trial, one imagines the two will have a lot to talk about.

The pair appearing on each other’s shows comes after last year’s Strike Force Five podcast solidified bonds between each of the five major late-night hosts: Kimmel, Meyers, John Oliver, Jimmy Fallon, and Stephen Colbert.

In 1969, the mysterious Tom Forçade insinuated himself into the top echelons of countercultural politics by taking control of the Underground Press Syndicate, a coalition of anti-establishment newspapers across the country. Wiry and manic, Forcade wore a black hat and refused to have his face photographed. Weathering government surveillance and harassment, the First Amendment warrior embarked on a landmark court battle to obtain press credentials for the Nixon White House. But simultaneously, his audacious exploits of the early 1970s—pieing Congressional panelists, stealing presidential portraits, and picking fights with other activists...

High Times is preparing to go public later this year with a valuation of $250 million — the same amount Jeff Bezos paid for the Washington Post in 2013. There’s no guessing whether the Post has gone up or down in value since 2013, but it may well have climbed given its skyrocketing web traffic and subscription growth since Donald Trump became president. High Times focuses on a different type of hard — or smooth — hitting journalism, but could also get higher. In terms of value, we mean. High Times CEO Adam Levin acquired the business earlier this year, when...

When you're Lakeith Stanfield and you happen to play a guy like Darius, the pothead-philosopher of FX's Atlanta – and not just play him, but turn a hit show's comic-relief role into the sort of weirdly relatable oddball that becomes an instant fan-favorite – it's natural that complete strangers would want to get you high. At the club, in a mall, walking down the street – doesn't matter. "The funny thing is, they assume I smoke," the 25-year-old actor says of the show's fans. "And you know, I don't. But yeah, I get a lot of offers.

Jim Carrey stopped by Jimmy Kimmel Live! on Monday to discuss I'm Dying Up Here, a new series that he is executive-producing about aspiring comedians in Los Angeles in the 1970s. "It's like the Big Bang of comedy," Carrey told Kimmel.

Carrey suggested that political events in the U.S. in the Seventies spurred the rapid growth of the comedy scene. "Nixon, Watergate, the impeachment, all that stuff was happening back then," he explained. "There was a need to tell the truth and cut through the baloney, and so it...

Less than a week after revealing he's sober for the first time in eight years, Pete Davidson made a triumphant return to Saturday Night Live over the weekend. The 23-year-old comedian joined "Weekend Update" and poked fun at himself while giving his first impressions of a few personalities in the Trump administration, such as Paul Ryan. "All the Republicans wanted Paul Ryan to come up with something to replace Obamacare, and now that he did, everybody hates it," he explained. "I know what this is like because for years, people have been asking me to quit drugs and get sober. And now that I have, everyone thinks I'm unfunny and boring." Pete also commemorated his return on Instagram, posting two photos from the show and captioning one, "I'm all smiles." Pete has been incredibly open about his past struggles with drugs and depression. After his firefighter father passed away in...

I'll always be here for you guys, I promise. Remember to never give up hope because sometimes that's all we got. We are a family and I appreciate all your love and support.

President Trump's promise to get tough on marijuana is harshing the mellow at a famous cannabis festival in Las Vegas, which is suddenly abiding by federal laws -- meaning No Getting High. Organizers for this year's High Times Cannabis Cup -- which kicks off in March -- tell us weed is Not allowed at the event this year, and that goes for headliners Ludacris, Chief Keef and Cypress Hill's B-Real too.

How tense are things between Randall and Kevin going into this week’s This Is Us? Let’s just say that the brothers’ adult relationship ranks somewhere between “Trump and Clinton voters forced to share a rush-hour pedicab” and “you and your disapproving mother-in-law trapped in an elevator after she suggested you take the stairs.”

But that pales in comparison to what’s simmering between Kate and Toby in the present storyline and Jack and Rebecca in the past. The hour, on the whole, is a little sleepy.

A long time ago, in a galaxy far, far away - Ok, on Tuesday, on your laptop - the new Star Wars: The Force Awakens trailer revealed a host of new titbits to intrigue and torment us. As well as, among the new and familiar faces, our first proper look at Carrie Fisher returning as Princess Leia.

And yet Fisher isn't all doughnut-hairdos and gold bikinis. After the original trilogy was released, she became as well known for her incredible life off-screen - not least for her turbulent love life and struggles with bi-polar disorder and substance abuse - as her roles on-screen.

So as she turns 59 this week, what better time to look back at some of the stranger things you probably didn't know about her:

Don't get Jane West started on Seth Rogen. West – the co-founder of Women Grow, a professional network for female cannabis entrepreneurs – is no fan of the monopoly that stoner bros seem to have on pop culture.

"Seth Rogen makes millions of dollars propagating the entire image of what a stoner is," West says. The problem with...

It’s a Tuesday in mid-February on the Sony lot and it’s hard to tell if it’s the set of HBO comedy Silicon Valley or a frat house. The smell of pot — courtesy of the show's blowhard entrepreneur Erlich Bachman (T.J. Miller) and his bong — fills the living-room set, and scattered around are crumpled bags of potato chips, empty beer bottles, half-drunk Red Bulls and more than a few copies of High Times magazine. The slovenly tech incubator is home to fictitious data-compression startup Pied Piper, led by the socially awkward Richard Hendricks (Thomas Middleditch)

(Charles Pinion‘s Killbillies, which you’ll discover all about below, is one of the great unfinished underground movies.

Pop star Katy Perry caught some flack last year for performing at the American Music Awards in full Geisha garb. Just before the controversial set, before she even finished caking on the white makeup or threw on the kimono, Perry allowed GQ Magazine to hang out in her dressing room with her team, her thoughts, and Rihanna’s weed. The result is February’s cover story and a slew of titillating images. The quotes weren’t too boring either. Here are five of the buzziest quotes lifted from the pages of next month’s GQ Magazine: High Times “Everyone is high!

It's a little weird seeing Oscar nominee James Franco play a local Louisiana druglord named Gator in the latest Jason Statham movie, "Homefront" (though admittedly not much weirder than watching him play a grill-wearing Florida gangster named Alien in last year's "Spring Breakers"). Nothing against Franco, but High Times' 2008 "Stoner of the Year" isn't exactly the most intimidating foe for a walking action movie like Statham.

Still, a little weird can be a good thing, and thanks to Franco's gonzo villain, "Homefront" ends up being a lot more entertaining than Statham's last few solo projects. From a screenplay originally written by (and for) Sylvester Stallone, the movie stars Statham as Phil Broker, a former DEA agent who moves to rural Louisiana with his young daughter after the death of his wife, and unwittingly starts a blood feud with Franco's Gator Bodine, Raysville, Louisiana's very own meth kingpin.

You’ll have to tune in Sunday night for more, but trust us when we say the underrated show is doing some of its best work this season and it’s must-watch TV in general, with one of the best casts on television right now (Steve Buscemi, Michael Shannon, Jeffrey Wright, Michael K. Williams, Kelly McDonald, Shea Whigham, Michael Stuhlbarg and many, many more). “Boardwalk Empire” was of course created and conceived by Terrence Winter, the former “Sopranos” writer/producer turned showrunner and writer of this first-rate mob period drama. And “Boardwalk Empire” came to Winter via Martin Scorsese, who essentially gave Winter the non-fiction book “Boardwalk Empire: The Birth, High Times, and Corruption of Atlantic City” and said,...

Marijuana's public image is coming in for a makeover worthy of daytime TV, with pot product placement already a reality on Hollywood sets.

Cheryl Shuman, a Los Angeles-based marketing and public relations consultant who -- not coincidentally -- founded a medical marijuana collective, has embarked on a campaign to update the image of the stereotypical dope smoker.

She wants to replace visions of dreadlocked surfer-types taking hits from tie-dyed bongs with snapshots of what she portrays as the modern-day marijuana enthusiast: middle-class soccer moms revving up their pocket vaporizers after the children are in bed and suit-clad professionals taking the edge off the day.

“The High Times generation that came with all their pot leafs and all that, they’re there, but the new weed consumer is a successful, professional and most likely female client,” said Shuman, who represents several companies that manufacture smoking gadgets and consults with television and...

Environmentalist. Cannabis spokesperson. Playwright. Vegan. Cannabis enjoyer. Woody Harrelson is a complex individual and a multifaceted presence on screen, his roles running the range of clean-cut cowboy to cold-blooded killer. But no matter who he's playing there always seems to be a lingering essence of the real Woody, and that's why he rules.

This week sees the former TV star getting "Cheers" for his role as a stage-magician-cum-bank-robber in "Now You See Me" and this November he'll reprise the part of Haymitch Abernathy in his first-ever sequel, "The Hunger Games: Catching Fire."

The MTV Movie Awards turns 22 this Sunday, April 14, which means yes, our beloved awards show has been drinking legally for a year.

In people years, the MTV Movie Awards still wouldn't be able to rent a car at the regular rate; but in the accolades-passing-out universe, 22 consecutive years of awarding popcorn statues to the A-list, producing the funniest movie spoofs ever, trying to wrangle Jim Carrey through his many stunts and witnessing the horror that was Borat's booty in Eminem's face has made it one of the most fun, most can't-be-missed awards shows in all Awards Show Land.

To celebrate the upcoming show (Sunday, April 14, 9:00 p.m. Et, MTV), here's our walk down memory lane with stops along the way to recall the 20 most memorable Movie Awards moments ever.

Twisted Sister frontman Dee Snider wants to remind Republicans that gun-loving Ted Nugent reportedly once dodged the Vietnam draft in quite possibly the grossest way imaginable.

During an interview with Noisecreep, Snider broached the subject of Nugent's recent comments on President Barack Obama's gun control proposal and Second Amendment rights. Snider, an Obama supporter, wanted to remind Republicans that the Detroit native did not always put his country first. In fact, Snider said, Nugent dodged the Vietnam draft by reportedly vomiting and defecating on himself and failing the physical exam.

Via Noisecreeper:

Ted's always been a gun-toting conservative. But what gets me is that he was actually a draft dodger! I mean, to the point where he didn't bathe for a week, and vomited on himself to deliberately avoid the draft. I totally understand why he did that, but all of these Republicans who love Ted don't seem to...

Olivia Culpo scored the 2012 Miss Universe crown, but she might not be handed the title of High Times' "Stoner of the Year" anytime soon.

Culpo confirmed her stance against marijuana legalization for recreational use during an interview with "Fox & Friends" on Thursday.

What does it mean to be cool? It's pretty damn subjective. So when compiling our list of the 25 coolest people making movies right now (somebody had to do it, right?), we accounted for various factors.

These are the actors who not only impress us onscreen (though that helps), but convey a certain genuineness off it, be it at awards shows, on TV appearances or during our own personal experiences interviewing them. They can be multi-talents, also excelling at music, art or writing. And they can make a habit of turning up in hilarious viral videos or even at your local karaoke bar.

But most of all, these are the 25 actors we'd really just like to sit down and have a beer with.

Los Angeles — Oliver Stone has smoked great marijuana all over the world, from Vietnam and Thailand to Jamaica and South Sudan. But the filmmaker says the best weed is made in the USA and that pot could be a huge growth industry for taxpayers if it were legalized.

Stone, whose drug-war thriller "Savages" opens Friday, has been a regular toker since his days as an infantryman in Vietnam in the late 1960s and knows a good herb when he inhales one. He insisted in a recent interview that no one is producing better stuff now than U.S. growers.

"There's good weed everywhere in the world, but my God, these Americans are brilliant," said Stone, 65, who sees only benefits from legalizing marijuana. "It can be done. It can be done legally, safely, healthy, and it can be taxed and the government can pay for education and stuff like that. Also,...

"We have the best weed in the world; I'm telling you from my own experience of 40 years," said Stone, who stopped by the show to promote his new film "Savages." "Vietnamese weed, Thai weed, Jamaican weed, Sudanese weed, it's all great stuff. But, because Americans are so technically minded (like mad chemists), they've taken Afghan seeds from the Afghan War, which is the hypothesis of the movie, and rededicated themselves and made the finest seeds in the world, the finest grass you can smoke."

Stop the presses!
