The affection that James Hetfield feels for Motörhead’s late frontman, Lemmy Kilmister, is well documented: Metallica have covered “Overkill” dozens of times, the whole band once performed as “The Lemmys” at Kilmister’s 50th birthday bash, and Hetfield’s lyrics to Metallica’s “Murder One” is basically a string of Kilmister references. Now Kilmister will forever be a part of Hetfield since the singer blended some of the Motörhead frontman’s cremains into tattoo ink and got an Ace of Spades tat on his right middle finger.

There’s at least one extended scene from AMC’s Parish that didn’t make it into the final cut of the series.
During Deadline’s Contenders TV panel on Saturday, star Skeet Ulrich told the story of one 15-minute take where he and co-star Giancarlo Esposito ad-libbed far past where the cameras were supposed to stop rolling.
“The cut starts there, where he shoves me,” he said of the scene, the final version of which does see the pair going at it — verbally, at least. “But in one of them, I shove him back … well, he slipped off of this bank into the water. And I’m like, ‘Oh man, I think I just lost my job.’ So I reached down to grab him. He’s ad-libbing so far, and I reached out to grab him up, and he pulls me in.”

By the time Rumpelstiltskin was in the works, the slasher model of yesteryear was replaced with something fresh but still familiar enough. Hence the many oddball slashers where the antagonist is neither human nor ordinary. From djinns to scarecrows, the decade saw horror turning to more fantastical inspirations. Mark Jones, whose career began in writing for cartoons and television, essentially kicked off the trend with Leprechaun. And had his first movie not been so successful, his next would have likely never happened.
After striking gold with Leprechaun in the early 1990s, Mark Jones looked to another magical icon for his second horror movie. Two specific on-screen depictions of Rumpelstiltskin influenced Jones’ own unique reimagining; he drew from Shaike Ophir and Billy Barty’s performances, respectively from the vintage anthology show Shirley Temple’s Storybook and an ‘87 movie directed by David Irving. Jones remembered Ophir’s take on the Brothers Grimm character to be particularly creepy.

Torben Ulrich, the father of Metallica drummer Lars Ulrich, has died at the age of 95.
Lars broke the sad news on Instagram on Wednesday (December 20th), writing the following:
“Torben Ulrich: 1928-2023. 95 years of adventures, unique experiences, curiosity, pushing boundaries, challenging the status quo, tennis, music, art, writing….and quite a bit of Danish contrarian attitude. Thank you endlessly! I love you dad”.
Metallica fans will recognize Torben from his memorable appearance in the band’s Some Kind of Monster documentary. In the film, the senior Ulrich was invited to the recording studio to hear an early version of the material that would become 2003’s St. Anger. When asked for his opinion after hearing a song snippet, Torben uttered his now-famous line: “I would delete that.”
Lars has described his father as both Metallica’s biggest fan and critic.

Before getting out of the business of producing scripted content, Cinemax's lineup of shows was truly phenomenal.
The network brought great shows like Strikeback, Warrior (now on Max), and Banshee to life.
These shows were well-written, with great characters and stories. The action was top-tier, making action buffs weak on the knees with every sequence.
Banshee's narrative, storyline, direction, and enigmatic characters stood out. The show is one of the most underrated shows from the 2010s.
After seeing its lead male actor's phenomenal skills in a currently airing show, I was compelled to check up on the cast and see what they've been up to in the years since the show ended.

Metallica drummer and onetime Napster naysayer Lars Ulrich is apparently okay with people “stealing” his band’s music nowadays.
Ulrich became the face of the anti-Internet music piracy movement after the infamous “Metallica v. Napster, Inc.” lawsuit in 2000. The drummer was a vocal opponent of people sharing MP3 files of the band’s music via P2P file-sharing platforms such as Napster, upsetting millions of music fans in the process.
It’s been more than 20 years since the Metallica-Napster case, and now streaming has become the dominant form of music consumption, albeit via paid services like Spotify and Apple Music.
While some still hold a lingering bitterness toward Ulrich for the Napster case, the drummer has a new outlook given the current state of the music industry. In a new interview with the SmartLess podcast — hosted by actors Jason Bateman, Sean Hayes, and Will Arnett — the metal legend expressed that...

Skeet Ulrich, who played Jughead’s dad F.P. Jones on the CW drama for five seasons, will not be returning to reprise his role in Season 7, co-star Madchen Amick tells Decider. “He was invited back, and the plan was he was going to come back.

There was an episode that was dedicated to his character, but it didn’t happen.

When Metallica’s self-titled “Black Album” came out in 1991, if you squinted at the cover art, you could see both the band’s label and a leaping coiled snake like the one on the Gadsden flag. The band riffed on that idea on their tour for the album, opening up the area in front of the stage and calling it the “Snake Pit,” an enclosure for an elite group of fans and VIPs. And even after Metallica put out other albums, they continued using the Snake Pit at concerts.

Mick Jagger is an iconic rock star whose persona has earned him the status of a legendary figure. Many look up to The Rolling Stones singer and can only dream of achieving the status he has. However, anyone with this status would most likely develop an inflated ego. This might be the case with Mick Jagger as Lars Ulrich, the drummer of Metallica, says he was asked not to look him in the eyes when they were opening for The Rolling Stones.

Drew Barrymore may have bested Ghostface.
The star of 1996’s “Scream” teased that despite her iconic cold open kill, her character Casey Becker could still be alive and ready to return to the enduring franchise.
“It’s funny. I’ve never thought of it this way, but I’m pretty sure a C-section is comparable to what happened to her,” Barrymore said during “The Drew Barrymore Show” (via Entertainment Weekly). “Like, literally. And I’m here! I’m fine! So, maybe Casey Becker will be Ok.”
The “50 First Dates” actress teased, “With good writing, you can make anything happen… I’m so glad that this franchise is still such a viable commodity.”
“Scream VI” brought back a presumed-dead character with Hayden Panettiere’s Kirby not only having survived the “Scream 4” stabbing but now thriving as an FBI agent.

Back in 2021, Gojira drummer Mario Duplantier came to the defense of the oft-criticized Lars Ulrich, praising the Metallica drummer as a “genius” for his showmanship and rock-solid presence behind the kit.
Duplantier doubled down on that sentiment in another interview this year, saying, “We need to bring some justice for [Ulrich] … I’m a bit tired of seeing all this conversation about Lars because what he did create is quite unique. Listen to …And Justice for All. It’s amazing.”
While speaking with Ulrich for Consequence’s just-published Metallica cover story, we asked him what he thought about Duplantier calling him a “genius,” and the Metallica drummer opened up on his larger philosophy as a musician. For Ulrich, it’s never been about flexing skill.
“The goal has never been genius,” Ulrich said. “If there’s one constant, it’s certainly not landing in the place of genius; it’s...
