It didn’t stop there, though, with the director parading almost his entire cast out on the stage. First came the heroes, Oscar Isaac, Daisy Ridley, and John Boyega, who discussed their desert-running fitness regimens and Boyega’s nerdy enthusiasm for all things Comic-Con. Next came the villains, with Gleeson, Adam Driver, and Game Of Thrones’ Gwendoline Christie all taking the stage. … [Read more...] about UPDATE: Harrison Ford draws massive applause at the

On Friday, in Washington, D.C., Motown Records and Universal Music Group UMG debuted the first in its series of “Never-Made Music Videos.” Director Savannah Leaf’s reimagining uses Flint as a backdrop for Gaye’s immortal tune that became a protest anthem, a rallying cry and a call to action. While the water crisis plays a prominent role in the video, Leaf manages to remind the audience of the widespread poverty in the majority-black city that fuels crime, police brutality and a struggling education system (According to the Census Bureau, 41.2 percent of Flint residents live below the poverty line, more than three times the national average). … [Read more...] about Watch the Never-Made Music Video for Marvin Gaye’s ‘What’s Going On’

The larger-than-life (in every sense of the phrase) festival is one of the pivotal events in Robert Anton Wilson’s insane Illuminatus! Trilogy, where it’s all part of a plan to bring on the end of the world by an evil rock band who are also the secret leaders of a global conspiracy, but man, what a show. Where else can you see bands like King Kong And His Skull Island Dinosaurs, Left-Handed Monkey Wrench, and Peyote Woman? Not to mention Joan Baez, if you’re into that.
