Clinton; Patterson. Forget Peak TV, here comes POTUS TV: Former President Bill Clinton and blockbuster author James Patterson (Kiss the Girls) are setting up shop at Showtime. The premium cable network has won a high-stakes (and almost certainly high-dollar) bidding war for the right to adaptthe duo’s forthcoming novel The President Is Missing into a television series. The Clinton-Patterson collaboration, announced in May, won’t be released until next June. But as Deadlinereported in July, news of the book set off a feeding frenzy in Hollywood as various film studios and TV outlets jockeyed for the rights.

Silk Sonic won’t be leaving the door open to more Grammy wins this year. The duo of Bruno Mars and Anderson .Paak declined to submit their album An Evening With Silk Sonic to the Grammys, Mars told Rolling Stone. “Silk Sonic would like to gracefully, humbly and most importantly, sexually, bow out of submitting our album this year,” he said in a statement. Last year, Silk Sonic surprised with the most wins of the night — four including Record and Song of the Year — for their single“Leave the Door Open.
Sister Act isn’t trying for anything newfangled: It’s barely fangled at all. Fangles cost money, after all, and this show is a stripped-down affair that reflects the new austerity over at Disney Theatricals. It looks penuriously designed, possibly by Paul Ryan, and it’s lit like a Baghdad suburb. True, this Sister has jettisoned its source movie’s San Francisco locale for grittier Philadelphia, but golly, it looks like Oslo. Never south of the 38th parallel have I see such persistently hypoxic blues and bruised purples.
The Arrested Development Documentary Project is a film made by AD “super-fans” Jeff Smith and Neil Lieberman as a tribute to their favorite show. Made up of interviews with most of the cast and crew (Michael Cera is the only major absence), the doc goes through the history of the show prior to the Netflix deal that resulted in a soon-to-be-aired fourth season. It’s definitely fun to watch the gang reminisce, but the film also reveals some previously unknown facts, like that the original pilot script was 70 pages long.
The last time Skrillex released a studio album, it was as an unintentional 26-year-old pop-culture lightning rod, a god in the eyes of revelers at big-tent EDM festivals where the Californian producer born Sonny Moore served maximalist speaker knockers that took cues from the shrieking electro-rock of Daft Punk, the jittery programming of Aphex Twin records, and the unrelenting volume and tempos of U.K. bass music. Dubstep had trickled out, as anything cool often does, from darkened rooms and basements as a chilly music of council-flat decay, and this smiley, one-time American screamo singer was now the face of it, marching across the planet seeding an abrasive mutant variant of the original.
The friends and family of the late Lemmy Kilmister, known for being the truly rock and roll heart of Motörhead, gathered yesterday for a funeral service. Lemmy died in late December from to a particularly aggressive form of cancer. His funeral was filled with tributes from the likes of Foo Fighters frontman Dave Grohl, Slash, Judas Priest’s Rob Halford, and Anthrax’s Scott Ian. In his eulogy, Grohl described his first meeting with Lemmy, describing him as his hero, “the one true rock and roller who bridged my love of AC/DC, Sabbath, and Zeppelin, with my love of GBH and the Ramones and Black Flag.

Sleepy Hollow Delaware Season 3 Episode 17 Editor’s Rating 3 stars *** «Previous Next» « PreviousEpisode NextEpisode » Sleepy Hollow Delaware Season 3 Episode 17 Editor’s Rating 3 stars *** «Previous Next» « PreviousEpisode NextEpisode » I’m writing this recap as fast as I can, because, like sands through the hourglass, my feelings of benevolence toward this penultimate episode of Sleepy Hollow’s third (perhaps last) season are quickly slipping away as I type, and like the Hidden One, my inner frustrations are channeling into a rage best described as “let’s burn the whole thing down.
Alexis Krauss of Sleigh Bells, 2015. Sleigh Bells is back, and just in time for the season of heat. Since releasing three brief, thunderous, sweetly abrasive albums between 2010 and 2013, the noise-pop duo of Alexis Krauss and Derek Miller have put out next to no new music, but as today’s self-released single “Rule Number One” demonstrates, they’ve hardly been silent, let alone stagnant. The band has always been justly renowned for splicing genres together; their new song sounds like two or three separate songs, each with a distinct rhythm, melody, and volume, set at strange yet somehow un-awkward angles to one another.
