Some things never get old. It’s been years since One Direction went on a hiatus soon after Zayn Malik left the group. At that time, the band was at the top of its game, having released 5 studio albums since they were formed in 2010. Though all of them have fared well since the split, arguably none of them managed to reach the heights that One Direction had scaled. The One Direction name still holds a special place in fans’ hearts. Simon Cowell found that out the hard way.

No two sketches on I Think You Should Leave with Tim Robinson are alike. That’s been the case through the first two seasons of this Netflix series and it remains true in season 3.
Sure, there are some recurring elements. In any given sketch, Robinson’s character is likely to raise his voice, break important social norms, and alienate the folks around him. But the real appeal of Robinson’s superb sketch comedy vehicle is how you’ll never guess the truly wild directions each joke will spin off to.
In season 3 alone: photos of cigars somehow lead into a ponytail past the anus, professional wrestlers’ penises explode, and 40 eggs end up equaling one egg. Like we did with season 2, we decided to rank every single sketch from I Think You Should Leave season 3’s five episodes (which feature 27 total sketches).
Enjoy and let us know what we got wrong!

It’s a Larry Blamire film, and it’s composed of entirely New and Unique elements: a lonely mansion, strange servants, the reading of the will, weird heirs, death threats, snoopy reporters, a midnight seance, mysterious locked rooms, the clutching hands of a phantom menace, and the ultimate terror, Kogar the mighty ape. All new, right? This ‘nothing you’ve ever seen before’ is performed by Blamire’s nimble acting clan, all competing to immortalize some of the silliest dialogue ever written. Two versions of the screwball-nostalgic farce are present on this special edition disc, along with the usual disturbingly offbeat selection of Blamire extras.

Cult nonsense filmmaking finds its Ultimate in Larry Blamire’s pair of monster-rally comedies, that parody classic cheapo sci-fi thrillers. The spot-on spoofery nails the genre’s hyper-earnest characterizations and affectionately stilted acting. The only disconnect are the high production values lavished on these personal films: remastered for reissue, they look and sound almost too good for authenticity’s sake. Separate purchases, each with bounteous extras, including Larry Blamire’s weird ‘reanimated movie classics.’

• IFC Films and Mpi Media Group gave Fango the first look at cover art for their DVD release of Pontypool (pictured), the acclaimed and unusual zombie thriller starring Stephen McHattie. Also coming this winter from the two companies is another well-received genre film, the Argentinean ghost story The Appeared.
Directed by Bruce McDonald and scripted by Tony Burgess from his book, Pontypool (streeting January 26; see our review here) casts McHattie as a shock jock who, one cold early winter morning, starts receiving mysterious reports from outside about violent and frightening acts committed by the local townspeople. It turns out that they’re infected with a spreading plague that is transmitted via speech and turns them into bloodthirsty killers. In The Appeared (a.k.a. Aparecidos, out January 12), writer/director Paco Cabezas spins the tale of a brother and sister who discover a diary documenting horrific murder and torture 20 years before.

Fango hit the La premiere this past Sunday night of writer/director Larry Blamire’s The Lost Skeleton Returns Again (see photos below), the follow-up to his 2001 cult hit The Lost Skeleton Of Cadavra, and chatted him up post-q&A.
Playing to a packed house at Hollywood Boulevard’s Egyptian theater, the film elicited an overwhelming audience response (Blamire’s devotees are quite rabid: this scribe’s parents made a trek all the way from Northern California), and the filmmaker was thrilled by the enthusiastic reception.
“What a terrific turnout,” Blamire tells Fango. “Man, we have the greatest fans. The support is phenomenal, and the audience expectation was palpable and infectious as the characters from the first film made their appearances [in the sequel], including the dead ones.” He’s referring to the roles played by Brian Howe and Dan Conroy, who met untimely ends in the original, with the actors here portraying their identical twins.

Paltrow Denies Snubbing Her Own Party
Gwyneth Paltrow has slammed reports she snubbed a party held in her honour, insisting she never intended to attend the event.
Paramount Pictures executives spared no expense in throwing an extravagant bash for the Iron Man star, intended as a thank-you for her hard work on the film's recent promotional tour.
Studio bosses reportedly lavished $120,000 (GBP60,000) on the private celebration at London restaurant Cocoon on Thursday (24Thurs08), inviting 30 of her closest family and friends and supplying Perrier Jouet champagne and vodka cocktails that she was said to have requested.
Arrangements for a private entrance were also in place for the arrival of the actress and her husband, Coldplay frontman Chris Martin, in keeping with their pact never to be photographed together.
But at the last minute, Paltrow, 35, disappointed guests, including her in-laws Anthony and Alison Martin, when she and her husband instead went for an impromptu meal with her Iron Man co-star Robert Downey Jr.
However, the actress is adamant she had not promised to be at the affair.
On Saturday, Paltrow's spokesperson said, "Gwyneth was never meant to attend the afterparty. She was at a taping of the Jonathan Ross show (a British talk show) which ran late and then she went home to be with her children. Everyone was told weeks ago that she would not be attending.
"She has said many times that she deliberately does not make public appearances with her husband."...
