That Thing I Say About Talented People? Still True
I should probably explain that Westworld is one of my all time favorite sci-fi movies, at least from the Seventies. It inspired The Terminator (and most likely Halloween) and was the first film to reference computer viruses, if I’m not mistaken.
Behold, Westworld’s Gunslinger … as portrayed by the great Yul Brynner. At Monsterpalooza, we chat with sculptor Nick Marra about his amazing portrait of the character. This silicone sculpture not only captures Brynner’s likeness, but is mechanized to reveal his true robot face in spectacular fashion. Draw!
Steve!
Youngsters watching this today won’t realize how funny and irreverent this was for 1978. You just didn’t make fun of self-important movie stars like this back then.

The British Masters
Simonon seems like a good egg.
After Mark E Smith, Goldie, Liam Gallagher and John Lydon, Paul Simonon of The Clash joins host John Doran to be inducted as a British Master.
Originally known as the bass player in The Clash, a lifelong artist and style obsessive, Paul was one of the key architects of the aesthetics of punk. His obsession with dub and reggae helped broaden the sound of The Clash gloriously. We spoke to him in Damon Albarn’s West London Studio, where they were rehearsing for their upcoming tour as one half of The Good, The Bad & The Queen.
Shit
Talented People Still Suck
And what the fuck is going on with his eyebrows?!

Choose your own adventure. (Or do you?) Ballsy as hell.

This is a BBC4 documentary about Primal Scream’s trip to Memphis to record an album that wouldn’t see the light of day for 25 years. (These mixes, anyway.) I love this shit.
Glorious Technicolor
This is some seriously fascinating, I’m-not-doing-any-more-work-today shit right here.
