The first few notes are hard to place, but the song soon has the effect of a flashback. In the penultimate episode of "Mr. Robot" (USA), anti-corporate hacker Elliot Alderson (Rami Malek) brings disgruntled executive Tyrell Wellick (Martin Wallström) to the derelict arcade where the season's climactic cyber attack takes shape. It's the piano on the soundtrack, though, tapping out Maxence Cyrin's languid, almost elegiac rendition of the Pixies' "Where Is My Mind?," that marks the scene as one of the year's best, casting its lot with another portrait of resistance to deranged values—David Fincher's "Fight Club" (1999). "What did you hope to accomplish?" Wellick asks, finally. "I don't know," Elliot replies, the camera closing in on his face as the song approaches its resolution. "I wanted to save the world." Read More: "'Olive Kitteridge,' The Leftovers,' and the Uses of Disenchantment" It may simply be that.

In an upcoming episode of "The Leftovers," a book publisher considers a manuscript one of the HBO drama's main characters has written about the violent, unsettling events viewers saw last season. "There's some heartbreaking stuff in here," the publisher acknowledges, but he feels the writing is too dry, even as it recounts stories of death, loss, heartache, and all the complications of living in a world where, a few years earlier, two percent of the world's population vanished into thin air under circumstances that have baffled modern science and organized religion. "If you want them to connect with it," he tells his prospective author, "you have to tell them how it felt." Telling its audience how things feel is not a problem that "The Leftovers" itself suffers from in the slightest. In its first year, the show, adapted from Tom Perrotta's novel by Perrotta and "Lost" co-creator Damon Lindelof,...

In the opening minutes of the pilot for USA’s Mr. Robot, superhacker Elliot Alderson (Rami Malek) meets with the shifty proprietor of a chain of coffeeshops. Over the course of their conversation, Elliot reveals the flaws in his cybersecurity—flaws that enabled Elliot to uncover this fellow’s immense cache of child pornography. The topic shifts: Who is Elliot? What does he want? Money? Before long, though, Elliot heads out and the cops storm in to mete out justice. That, it would seem, will be the blueprint for Mr. Robot: the story of yet another maladjusted genius with One Weird Trick for solving crimes while disregarding the rules, man. He’ll track down hidden bad guys, overcoming his obvious social awkwardness and seemingly timid nature, and expose them to the world with the help of cutting-edge, buzzword-heavy technological innovation. After all, this is USA, the home of Burn Notice,...

Hey music fans, here’s a holiday treat for you. The Pixies formed in 1986 and split up just seven years later, parting on rocky terms. Eleven years later (in 2004), they reunited, and they’ve been touring and producing music since. In the years between, though, their music influenced some of the most iconic bands to emerge in the '90s, including Nirvana, Weezer, and countless others. In 2006, documentarians Matthew Galkin and Steven Cantor got behind the camera to explore the band’s reunion and get to the bottom of their split more than a decade earlier. The film, “loudQuietloud: A Film About the Pixies,” is now viewable in its entirety on YouTube courtesy of Noisey’s new Found Tapes show, which features rare, bizarre, and entertaining videos. The 85-minute documentary opens with concert footage of the band playing “Where Is My Mind” (arguably one of their most recognizable songs, popularized...

Daniel Radcliffe stars in Horns, a nightmarish tale adapted from Joe Hill’s book of same name. One of the immediate changes to the film from page to screen has a deep impact on the story, and it is the transition of Radcliffe’s character – Ig Perrish – from being a student to a professional DJ.
As a result the soundtrack deeply mirrors both Ig’s past and his actions within the film.
One of the very first scenes, in fact, is scored by David Bowie’s iconic track, “Heroes”. Ig picks the LP out of a wall full of record spines, drops the needle and is immediately transported back to the life he enjoyed with his since-murdered girlfriend, Merrin (Juno Temple).
The rest of the musical cues for the first half of the film are familiar, if not slightly clichéd choices. “Heroes” is 36 years old and one of Bowie’s best loved tracks,...

With Gone Girl out now, and Fight Club about to turn 15, we take a look back at David Fincher's controversial and bravura cult film...
What the hell is Fight Club anyway? A horror film about a Jekyll-and-Hyde office worker who becomes a terrorist? A drama about late 20th century masculinity in crisis? A warped romance about a man trying to change himself into someone as interesting as the woman he loves? A thriller about a decadent generation goading itself into extremism?
Executives at 20th Century Fox certainly struggled with Fight Club. Unsure how to market a film in which young men beat one another to a pulp and stole bags of fat from the bins of liposuction clinics, the studio placed ads for it during World Wrestling Federation matches. Meanwhile, Fight Club's posters, dreamed up by an expensive design firm, featured a pink bar of soap with the...

In 2005, playwright Glen Berger was hired by director Julie Taymor to co-write the script for Spider-Man: Turn Off the Dark. What followed were six crazed, tumultuous, accident-ridden years before the show, with music by Bono and the Edge, finally premiered on Broadway.

In Song of Spider-Man: The Inside Story of the Most Controversial Musical in Broadway History, Berger cuts through the tangled web of the troubled show's history and personalities. "I didn't want to relive it, but at the end of the day,...

Two weeks from now Sdcc 2013 will be winding down, so are there enough horror offerings to entice attendees back to the show for Day 4 (July 21)? With "Supernatural" kicking things off bright and early, we say, "Yes!"
Also on the schedule for Sunday (traditionally the family-themed day of the event) are "Under the Dome," an update on the adaptation of George R.R. Martin's werewolf/Pi/serial killer mashup novella The Skin Trade, a chance to build your own monster, surviving in a post-apocalyptic world, a Neil Gaiman Spotlight panel, a look at what's coming from Diamond Select Toys, a how-to on creating suspenseful, exciting, anxiety-inducing stories, and per usual, a screening of "Buffy the Musical: Once More with Feeling" to close things out.

Graham Parker isn’t quite ready to give up his rock and roll to act, but in Judd Apatow’s This Is 40, he put his acting chops to the test as a rock and roll legend with less than stellar album sales.
This past week Mr. Parker and I discussed his role in the film, the reunion of The Rumour, and getting up at the crack of dawn to be on set. Check out our discussion below.
From the director of Knocked Up and The 40-Year-Old Virgin comes an unfiltered, comedic look inside the life of an American family. After years of marriage, Pete (Paul Rudd) and Debbie (Leslie Mann) are approaching a milestone meltdown. As they try to balance romance, careers, parents and children in their own hilarious ways, they must also figure out how to enjoy the rest of their lives.

Austin has a drive-in movie theater? Really? No way! Actually it makes total sense, since Austin is a city that really loves movies and really loves cars [and pickup trucks and SUVs]. Besides, it seems to never rain here, so the weather is perfect for outdoor movie screenings. Way back in 2010, native Austinite Josh Frank (author of “In Heaven Everything is Fine: The Unsolved Life of Peter Ivers and the Lost History of New Wave Theatre” and “Fool the World: The Oral History of a Band Called Pixies”) took a cue from San Francisco’s mobile drive-in MobMov.org — he constructed a modestly sized outdoor screen, acquired some car-speaker posts from defunct drive-ins via eBay, and restored a vintage runabout to use as a concession stand. Frank’s Mini Urban Drive-in, The Blue Starlite, has existed in varying capacities and locations for the last two years. When he found out a few months ago that his lease at 1001 E 6th Street would...

Who needs real friends when you've got a vivid imagination? Help us identify cinema's most memorable made-up mates
This week's Clip Joint is by Norman Walton from Warwickshire.
Think you can do better than Norman? If you've got an idea for a future Clip joint, send a message to adam.boult@guardian.co.uk
It's always good to have friends you can count on. However it's even better if you make them up. Whether it's to help you regain control in your life, cope with stress or just offer a well-rounded argument on why the local pimp/drug dealer should be put down like a dog, imaginary friends can be handy.
However, as they are conjured up from the recesses of (often) troubled minds, they do not need to adhere to the rules of the real world and the boundaries of what they can do are only restricted by the limits of their protagonist's imaginations.

Bloody Hell, as Ron Weasley might have said. Ten years, eight movies, four directors and a worldwide box-office gross of over six billion dollars and look where it’s taken us: full circle.

So, without further ado, now the conclusion…
I never wanted any of you to die for me.
Do I even need a spoiler alert? With three Horcruxes down (the diary, the ring and the locket) and just four to go, Harry Potter (Daniel Radcliffe) must pick up where he left off if he is to defeat Lord Voldermort...

"American Idol" top 8

"American Idol" ended last week in a swirl of shock, anger and boo- hooing as Pia Toscano was sent home and Ryan Seacrest was reduced to begging viewers: "We need you! Stay with us this season!"
Where does the show go from here? Well, "Idol" will be relying on the bright lights of Hollywood to wash out memories of arguably the most shocking elimination in its history, as the remaining eight singers take on songs of the cinema. That's a familiar theme in "Idol" land, one last seen just last year (recall how Crystal Bowersox gave a killer country-rock makeover to Kenny Loggins' "I'm Alright"), but which stretches back all the way to season two.
What direction should the contestants take?...

The sci-fi writer's influence stretches far beyond the multiple realities of this week's big movies Source Code and Sucker Punch
Look around you, and tell me we're not now all the children of Philip K Dick. A man who's been dead almost three decades has a grip on our culture so tight that you can detect his eerie premonitory influence almost everywhere you look.
Only a fortnight ago we saw the release of The Adjustment Bureau, from a Dick story, in which fate is finely calibrated and ruthlessly policed by shadowy men in noir-ish fedoras, and reality is as unstable as fantasy. This week's two big movies in the UK, Source Code and Sucker Punch, have no direct link to Dick but drink from the well of his influence. Source Code is about a soldier who can be projected into the mind of any man with eight minutes left to live,...

Howdy Interwebbers. I’m Matt Cohen and I dig the D.
Of course, I am referring to Tenacious D - the folk-metal guitar duo made up of Jack Black (Jables) and Kyle Gass (Kage). I’ve been getting my socks rocked off’ since high school, and have been an avid follower of all things D ever since. I voraciously devour their new albums and attend as many live shows as I can, so it was to my delight and surprise that the boys had put together an epic night of comedy and music… and better yet, it was for a great cause. I snagged my ticket, patiently waited a few weeks, ventured out in the heart of Korea Town (and hunted for a good/free parking spot, Which I found, thank you very much) and was presented with a night of performances I would never forget.

Closing credit songs -- it's the last thing you hear as you leave a theater, and can very often influence your opinion of a movie slightly one way or another. Take Avatar as the most recent example -- even if you liked the movie, how incredibly off-putting is it to leave a huge action spectacle to the song-stylings of Leona Lewis' "I See You." (If you're going to make a song that ear screeching, go all out: Get Celine Dion. You already spent $500 million on your movie, another $1 million ain't gonna hurt.)
But there are also really bad movies that can occasionally redeem themselves ever so slightly with a decent closing-credit song -- I don't know how many terrible romantic comedies I see where the closing credit song is actually the best part of the movie (bonus points for blooper scenes, which tend to be the funniest part of...

It's the dead of winter, but that doesn't mean we can't fantasize ourselves into the summer festival season. Details are beginning to emerge about a number of events, but the one that unofficially kicks off the season — the annual Coachella Valley Music and Arts Festival — has sets its 2010 dates. The eleventh iteration of the festival will take place on April 16, 17 and 18, and layway tickets are already available (with a three-day festival pass going for $269, which doesn't include the cost of camping).
While Coachella always puts together a stellar lineup that bridges old, new, mainstream and super-weird, there still aren't any acts yet announced as part of the 2010 lineup. $269 (plus travel costs) is a lot to shell out for a lineup that remains mysterious, which is why we've done some educated guessing on who might top the bill this year. Keep in mind that we have no inside sources or tips...

I'm sure if you pick apart the themes and scenes from both films, you'll find that The Dark Knight and Fight Club have lots in common, though for the purpose of this post we're talking about a song called "Where Is My Mind?" from The Pixies. In David Fincher's Fight Club, the song played during the final scene as Edward Norton and Helena Bonham Carter lock hands and watch the city in front of them crumble to the ground. Remember? Well in honor of The Dark Knight's television premiere on HBO this Saturday, June 13, the cable channel is airing two pretty groovy commercials featuring the same exact Pixies song mixed with a bunch of those memorable (yet haunting) pieces of dialogue and scenes from last year's biggest film.

The Pixies track that made its mark on film in David Fincher’s “Fight Club” is back on HBO this week in a pair of promotions for “The Dark Knight.”
Christian Bale’s Batman and Heath Ledger’s Joker make their debut together on the cable channel this Friday, June 13, and they’re doing it to the tune of “Where Is My Mind?” Brad Pitt and Edward Norton demolished buildings to it, and now the Joker appears to be doing the same for the two spots.
Both make pretty well edited-together mash-up videos for fans of Batman, the band, or the movie. Featuring some of the now-classic one-liners from Ledger, including “Let’s put a smile on that face” and “I’m a man of my word,” as well as his haunting laughter, they’re fitting tributes to one of the best marriages yet between comic books and film.

The tradition of the Coachella Festival in Indio, Calif. reuniting bands is now legendary. As the story goes, the festival organizers were having a hard time getting a headlining band in 2001, so they found a friend to convince Jane's Addiction to get back together and play. Since then, Siouxsie and the Banshees, Iggy Pop and the Stooges, Pixies, Bauhaus, Gang of Four, Rage Against the Machine, The Jesus and Mary Chain and My Bloody Valentine have all rejoined for the festival.
