Lil Uzi Vert is one of the most ambitious rappers of their generation, a true-blue astral traveler who sees the form’s traditions as a matrix to warp in unexpected ways. Their goal is the sort of mental and emotional liberation achievable only through absolute stimulation: the most colors, the biggest sounds, the hardest raps conceivable. Their first two LPs, 2017’s Luv Is Rage 2 and 2020’s Eternal Atake, showed remarkable progress in this aim. They pushed and pulled various strands of contemporary hip-hop — blown-out Soundcloud beats, cavernous psychedelia, flows from...

There are a lot of songs that can get stuck in your head — Disney's "It's a Small World" song, that catchy Oscar Mayer Wiener jingle, Eiffel 65's bop of a hit, "Blue" — but none are as strange or as potent as the five-tone melody from "Close Encounters of the Third Kind." It's such a delightful little ear worm that when you watch the film, you half expect Francis Bourgeois, TikTok's beloved trainspotter, to come running into the frame screaming about tones. For Roy Neary (Richard Dreyfuss), the tones are equally as enticing to him the first time he hears...

Jamie-Lynn Sigler‘s son Beau is getting a baby brother.
The actress and her husband, Washington Nationals player Cutter Dykstra, employed Beau’s help in breaking the news that they’re expecting another baby boy with an Instagram video on Friday.
Beau, 4 next month, was at bat as Dad sent a ball sailing his way – in slow motion. After the baseball star in training connected with the ball, it burst into a blue powder and Dykstra couldn’t help but cheer.

I figured it was the live-action that was the problem.
The Smurfs and The Smurfs 2 were, for the most part, rambunctious, asinine, lazily written child distractors, the cinematic equivalent of a big, bouncing blue ball. It bounces up and down, up and down, up and down, and eventually, something gets smashed or broken, but the kid is (seemingly) transfixed. But amongst the drivel, there were always shining little moments of promise and potential. They came near the top of the films, as we watched our CG Smurfs interact in their animated environment known as Smurf Village, away from their dreaded, pointless impending visit to the Big Apple. These segments were lively, engaging, inspired and, dare I say it, kinda fun. They were everything the resulting 80 minutes (and change) weren’t, a glimpse into what could’ve been if Sony Animation decided to cut their losses and stick with the animation.

This time on the podcast, Scott is joined by David Blakeslee and James McCormick to discuss Vilgot Sjöman’s I Am Curious (Yellow) and I Am Curious (Blue).
About the film:
Seized by customs upon entry to the United States, subject of a heated court battle, banned in cities across the United States, Vilgot Sjöman’s I Am Curious—Yellow is one of the most controversial films of all time. This landmark document of Swedish society during the sexual revolution has been declared both obscene and revolutionary. It tells the story of Lena (Lena Nyman), a searching and rebellious young woman, and her personal quest to understand the social and political conditions in 1960s Sweden, as well as her bold exploration of her own sexual identity. Shattering taboos as it freely traverses the lines between fact and fiction, I Am Curious—Yellow is presented here for the first time with...

Love them or hate them, there aren’t a great many acts which found themselves in the right place at the right time in 2015 the way Jack Ü did. The collaborative project between bass music icons Skrillex and Diplo practically became the poster children of Edm movement, and in conjunction with SiriusXM they’ve put out a mix that captures the breadth of their creativity over the past year.
Ricocheting from style to style at a breakneck pace, the mix kicks off with the two artists’ pre-Jack Ü release, “Beats Knockin’.” Between tracks from the likes of Tchami, Valentino Khan, DJ Snake and somehow even Eiffel 65, it covers a broad range of stylistic territory while still remaining anchored to the duo’s signature sound.

As Nat noted this weekend, that might be one of the better responses to an alleged Oscar snub in recent memory but as with all "snubs," we have the films and boy has Xavier Dolan's Mommy seared itself into my brain. And so I'm using it today to help me brave this icy, cold, rainy weather we're having in the North East today (anyone buried under lots of snow?)
One of the best scenes in Dolan's film is set to Céline Dion's "On Ne Change Pas" and that song has been in constant rotation on my Spotify ever since (actually all of the songs from that film have!) Dolan has quite the gift for pairing radio-stamped hits with transgressively appealing scenes that don't just work as stylistic juxtapositions but as helpful characterizations.

1999 seems so far away now. At the fag end of the millennium, it was the year that gave us Stanley Kubrick's posthumous final opus, Britney Spears's first album and Hugh Grant playing the iconic Time Lord in a Doctor Who Comic Relief special. That wretched song 'Blue' by Eiffel 65 was violating our ears. It also saw a micro-budget (reportedly $35k) film creep into UK cinemas on October 22 and change the horror genre forever. The debate rages on whether that was for better or worse.
The Blair Witch Project's financial rewards were huge, with the film grossing $10,931 for every $1 spent according to the Guinness Book of World Records. Yet its cultural impact was arguably more staggering.

There's no reason to talk of Xavier Dolan as a young filmmaker any longer. Yes, he's only 25, but he's now five films into an already impressive career and Laurence Anyways is a film any director of forty years or more would be proud to call their crowning achievement. Now comes Mommy, a film that could easily be argued as his best, and there's absolutely no telling how high his star will rise, though I fully expect his to be a career that's wildly celebrated by all film aficionados 25 years from now. Telling the story of widowed mother Diane "Die" Despres (Anne Dorval) and her 15-year-old violent son, Steve (Antoine Olivier Pilon), Mommy delves into the bond of a mother and her child, the love that exists within that bond and how there's virtually nothing in this world that can break it. Diane, however, is struggling. Steve is more than a handful,...

VH1′s I Love the 2000s premiered last night, making it perfectly acceptable to hum Brian McKnight or “I’m Blue” on your way to work this morning. Fourteen years can feel like a lifetime, so it’s understandable if you have a selective memory when it comes to pop culture from the year 2000. Between drastic weight loss from a Subway sandwich-a-day diet to tension-filled quests to trade the right Pokémon cards, it was a weird time.
How much have things changed? How much have things stayed the same? Dating is now done on phones and McKnight went from sweet crooner who soundtracked middle school dances to the man behind an X-rated “adult” mixtape. To see what you may be forgetting — or purposely blocking out — from the first year of the new millennium, travel back in time with the list below.

Before VH1′s I Love the 2000s special began on June 17, I polled my roommates (whom I forced to watch with me) about their favorite pop culture moments from the year 2000. For about three minutes, everyone was stumped—what’s actually from the year 2000, instead of just under the umbrella term “the 2000s”? It turns out that remembering specific years is a lot harder than you think.
That’s why there’s a saving grace to VH1′s nostalgia-bait series, a 10-part anthology spread out over five days this week. It’s hugely entertaining to hear no-name comedians praise specific...

When Diane Després (Anne Dorval) signs her name to have son Steve (Antoine-Olivier Pilon) released from a teenage care facility, she scrawls her nickname — “Die” — before dotting the I with a heart. That tiny touch speaks volumes about the crossroads between ominous and ostentatious that Xavier Dolan’s Mommy calls home. A borderline operatic melodrama that emphasizes the emotional states of Solondz-like misfits with Sirkian flair (and a needless near-future setting), it follows the Adhd-afflicted Steve back into Diane’s reluctant care. As a widow, she can hardly hold a job down without having to attend to his latest vulgar or violent outburst, and the schools won’t have him back. Enter Kyla (Suzanne Clément), a mousy neighbor with a bit of a stutter who can withstand Steve’s mood swings. In fact, by tolerating him, the newly empowered Kyla levels out the emotional extremes between mother and son, if only for a while. With...

With his fifth film, twenty-five year old director Xavier Dolan finally played in Competition at Cannes with "Mommy," and he made the most of the opportunity. Yesterday, raves started coming in from all corners for the movie, with our own Jessica Kiang declaring the picture to be "vibrant, intoxicating, illuminating" and now you can get a taste with the first clip from the flim. Starring Anne Dorval ("I Killed My Mother," "Heartbeats," "Laurence Anyways"), Suzanne Clément ("I Killed My Mother," "Laurence Anyways") and Antoine-Olivier Pilon, the story follows a widowed, single mother, raising her unstable teenage son, who finds assistance and stability from a next door neighbor. But that's barely the half of it, as the film finds Dolan once again flexing some serious filmmaking muscles, staring with the soundtrack. Featuring Oasis, Dido, Andrea Boccelli, Eiffel 65 and more, Dolan finds a way to make radio friendly fodder take on deeper meaning,...

(Spoiler Alert, etc.) Last night's Breaking Bad ended with Walt lying on the lab floor, dead, with Badfinger's "Baby Blue" playing. The song felt like a wildly appropriate closer for a crime epic centered around blue meth, what with the opening lyric "Guess I got what I deserved" and the refrain "the special love I have for you, my Baby Blue." It seems like an obvious choice, but there were countless other obvious "blue" options (Except for Eiffel 65's "Blue," which should never be an option): As Joni Mitchell sings, "Blue songs are like tattoos." Here are fourteen other "Blue" songs that could have perfectly capped the entirety of Breaking Bad, give or take an episode.1.

Iron Man Blu-ray Oftentimes, I.m not a fan of voiceovers and flashback narratives at the beginning of a film. Iron Man 3 offers both, as well as a reminder that Eiffel 65.s .Blue (Da Ba Dee)" was a popular song at the turn of the century. Regardless, a flashback to a New Year.s Eve party is a great way to show audiences how Tony Stark (Robert Downey Jr.) has evolved over the past several years and it also sets us up for a narrative explaining the origins of a bad guy. The Stark we're given in Iron Man 3 is going through a tough time. He.s still shaken up about the New York incident and is suffering from the occasional panic attack. He.s also become a workaholic who is spending more time tinkering with new suits than working on his marriage to Pepper Potts (Gwyneth Paltrow...

- The Scorecard Review
With a mischievous tone but spectacular execution, Shane Black’s Iron Man 3 is a tremendously entertaining blockbuster. Despite a couple of slips along the way, it’s a popcorn movie that’s unashamed of its sense of fun but keen that you’re emotionally involved, not just waiting for the next big bang. It remains to be seen what the future holds for the character but if this is Iron Man’s final solo outing, it’s a slick and hugely enjoyable way to bow out.
Black and co-writer Drew Pearce’s narrative picks up directly after a trip in and out of a wormhole in The Avengers left Tony Stark insomniac and crippled by panic attacks. There’s definite baggage to this sequel – not just Tony’s emotional stress, but the expectations on the cast and crew set by the colossal success of Joss Whedon’s Avengers; plus...

The following review contains no major spoilers, but if you want to go in knowing absolutely nothing about the film it might be best to skip it. As Tony Stark's opening narration (yes, we get a voiceover this time) leads into the strains of Eiffel 65's "Blue" while the Marvel logo flashes, it's already clear that director Shane Black has delivered a very different Iron Man movie from the previous two -- and indeed, all previous Marvel films. Is that a good or a bad thing? Well, that's going to depend on how light-hearted you like (or don't like) your movies. The story begins with a flashback to before the events of the first Iron Man. This Tony Stark is still the brash, arrogant, womanizing businessman he was before becoming the slightly less brash, arrogant, womanizing superhero.

In some of the more stupid words uttered by a human being that I’ve ever read, Daniel Radcliffe, star of soon-to-be released horror flick 'The Woman in Black', revealed his dismay at the lack of attention given to the Harry Potter franchise by the Academy of Motion Picture Arts and Sciences. “"I don't think the Oscars like commercial films, or kids' films, unless they're directed by Martin Scorsese…" Emm… How about The Lord of the Rings? Peter Jackson’s fantasy-epic trilogy garnered 30 Oscar nods, winning 17. Indeed, The Return of the King, won every category it was nominated for (11). The trilogy earned nearly $3 billion at the box office and, I think its fair to say, captured the hearts and minds of children worldwide. And what about Avatar? James Cameron’s $2 billion, Eiffel 65 inspired, space box office smash garnered a host of Oscar nominations, and not just the techy ones.

Life imitates art for "Glee" stars Jane Lynch and Matthew Morrison. Starring in a brand new Funny or Die video, Jane who is famous for her portrayal of Sue Sylvester loses her cool when she is carpooling to work with Matt, who plays her on-screen nemesis Will Schuester, and he just won't stop singing.
The horror begins when Matt turns on the radio and starts crooning the songs played from George Michael's "Faith" to Will Smith's "Wild Wild West". Every time Matt sings along, Jane changes the channel with hilarious explanations. To George's "Faith", she reasons, "Religious conversations make me uneasy," while to Eiffel 65's "Blue", she says, "I'm color blind."
Jane finally has it when Matt tries to sing the traffic report. Blasting her co-star, she asks, "Why do you have to sing everything like you just swallowed a pair of jazz hands?! You are a...

Life imitates art for "Glee" stars Jane Lynch and Matthew Morrison. Starring in a brand new Funny or Die video, Jane who is famous for her portrayal of Sue Sylvester loses her cool when she is carpooling to work with Matt, who plays her on-screen nemesis Will Schuester, and he just won't stop singing.

Sometimes "Funny or Die" clips are more of the latter than the former. Like the site's latest "Glee" fan bait, "Carpool with Matt Morrison & Jane Lynch."
Matt and Jane set out on their first (and final) fictional carpool to the "Glee" set, where Lynch quickly learns that her co-star actually never stops singing. It might be funny, if we didn't have the sneaking suspicion that this is a fitting reenactment of an actual Matthew Morrison commute.
He warbles along to such infamously horrible tunes as Limp Bizkit's "Nookie," Eiffel 65's "Blue" and the traffic report, before Lynch finally snaps -- the clip's redeeming moment.

Usually, Jane Lynch is effortlessly funny in everything, and Matthew Morrison is better without a shirt. Thankfully, one of them delivers in this skit for Funny or Die, where the pair goes green and carpools to work in Morrison’s 2003 cherry red Beetle. Spoiler: Only one of them makes it there.
So as not to ruin the awesome of this video, I’ll only give you a brief preview: Matthew Morrison sings, then Jane Lynch says exactly what we’re all thinking. Among his musical stylings: George Michael (too religious), Eiffel 65 (too blue), the Cranberries (too scary), Limp Bizkit...

The first trailer for Skyline didn't tell us much about its mysterious alien invaders:
Basically, all we know here is:
1) These guys (unsurprisingly) have super-advanced technology,
2) They don't come in peace, and
3) One of their primary weapons is a blue beam of light that sucks up hapless bystanders and ferries them to some terrible unknown fate.
At this point, we could be dealing with anything from an Independence Day-level all-out war to some sort of insidious plot by the little guy from Eiffel 65's blue world to finally find someone to listen (to listen...to listen)

Even though James Cameron's "Avatar" — which finally opens today at theaters nationwide — has a killer lead cast in Sam Worthington, Zoe Saldana, Sigourney Weaver and Giovanni Ribisi, the real stars of the film are the computer-generated alien race known as the Na'vi. They're a stunning feat of technological advancement, fully realized and incredibly animated.
Also: They're really, really blue. So blue that we've had Eiffel 65's "Blue" stuck in our heads for most of the lead-up to the film's release. Considering that is unacceptable in most cultures, we decided to dig deep into the MTV archives to find out what the best "Blue" songs were.
As it turned out, there are some absolute gems. Who could forget Debbie Gibson's "Out of the Blue" or the White Stripes "Blue Orchid?" We treated ourselves to Brand New Sin's "Black and Blue" as well as Galaxie 500's "Blue Thunder." There...

The mtvU Woodie Awards celebrate genre-bending music and independent experiementation — a subset of music that used to be known as "college rock." Since the Woodies work to keep this genre (and the phenomenon that is college radio) alive and kicking, it's only natural that some of the artists attending this year's show at New York's Roseland Ballroom would reflect on the time they spent at higher education institutions and the music that helped them get through long study sessions and hangovers.
Sean Foreman and Nathaniel Motte — otherwise known as 3Oh!3 — even got their start while they were in school. The pair met at the University of Colorado (they had a physics class together), and both finished school before rock stardom came calling. Like anybody, they've got certain musical memories associated with their time in Boulder. "For me, it was Death Cab for Cutie's Transatlanticism," Foreman told MTV News. "That was huge.
