The People's Poet Is No More: Rik Mayall Dies At 56

Posted: 09 Jun 2014 11:55 AM PDT

Rik Mayall, most famous for his portrayal of sniveling anarchist Rik in the early '80s BBC comedy series The Young Ones, has died at the startlingly young age of 56, according to Variety. Mayall made his bones as the co-creator and lead writer for the series, which was among the first to put angry, counterculture British youth on television on a weekly basis. Not only was the character he created anarchic, so was the comedy, crashing back and forth between a quartet of equally unseemly characters. The Young Ones also served as an anti-Top of the Pops stage for underground music to bubble through, notably hosting performances from bands like Motorhead, The Damned, Madness, and many more.While many people outside of England lost track of Mayall...

The rules are simple; follow the arrows or you will die, step on the grass and you will die, get lapped twice and you will die. Only one participant...

We have been following the production of Siti Kamaluddin's silat-infused drama Yasmine for quite some time now, and a full English-subbed trailer is now online, which gives us a far clearer sense of the film and its narrative.  Only the second commercially produced film ever to emerge from Brunei, it follows the challenges faced by a teenage girl desperate to follow her passion and become a martial arts champion. Along the way she is faced by numerous adversaries and obstacles, not least her own family and inflexible gender inequalities in her society. Lead actress Liyana Lus reportedly took a year off school to train for her role, while director Kamaluddin employed Chan Man Ching - collaborator on many of Jackie Chan's best films - as action...
