Director Neill Blomkamp Announces Alien 5 on Hold

Director Neill Blomkamp announced tonight that Alien 5 is on hold for the time being and that he's moving on to other projects.

The filmmaker -- whose credits include District 9, Elysium, and Chappie -- stated on Twitter tonight: "alien is kinda holding/ pending prometheus 2. So I shall be working on other things... as much as I love the xeno- and Lt ripley."

Watch All 400 Episodes of Bob Ross

Perhaps the most well-known painter of the 20th century, Bob Ross, is now streaming on Twitch.

Well, not exactly Bob Ross, but instead all 400 episodes of his Public Broadcasting television program "The Joy of Painting." Ross died in 1995 at the age of 52, just a year after The Joy of Painting came to a close.

For those unfamiliar, Ross began each program with a blank canvas, and in the course of the show, he used what is effectively wizardry to conjure forth incredible landscapes using off-the-shelf, moderately priced paints and painting implements. Ross worked wet-on-wet, meaning the layers didnt have time to dry, and his technique and instruction made painting in oils something that was accessible to anyone.

Game of Thrones fans might have to wait a bit longer than usual for the Season 6 premiere.

HBO has announced premiere dates for its new show Vinyl (from Martin Scorsese), as well as returning shows Girls and Togetherness. As noted by Huffington Post, if you do the math (and go off HBO's usual schedule patterns), it's easy to see how this could slightly push back the premiere of Game of Thrones: Season 6. Vinyl will begin on February 14 (at 9:00 pm Sundays - the slot Game of Thrones airs in), while Girls and Togetherness premiere on February 21, airing right after Vinyl.
