The new One Direction movie, This is U.S., has had its world premiere this Tuesday. The film was directed by Morgan Spurlock, most famous for bringing us the documentary Supersize Me.
I’m not sure what This is U.S. is about, but the bloke in the video shop reckons it follows Spurlock for a month as he tries to exist on a musical diet restricted to only One Direction. There are shocking scenes as he throws up in his car after listening to an entire album for the first time. Record company bosses, however, insist that there’s no danger from listening to One Direction and that their ‘music’ can be enjoyed as part of a healthy cultural lifestyle. Experts, according someone my mate knows, say that it’s best to introduce a bit of musical roughage with your One Direction and suggest their fans try a bit of Megadeth once in a while.
Megadeth, the titans of thrash metal, and favourite band of former House of Commons speaker Betty Boothroyd (probably), announced this week the release of a new live album in September. The record will feature a complete live performance of their classic album Countdown to Extinction and include such tracks as Ashes in your Mouth, She Wolf and Skin O’ My Teeth. The record may or not be packaged with the official soundtrack to the One Direction movie, along with some black eyeliner and a lovely pair of ripped jeans.
There are rumours that the One Direction-Megadeth connection will continue as that one from 1D who’s not Harry Styles has become engaged to someone or other from Little Mix. The word on the made-up streets is that the loved-up youngsters will skip down the aisle to the classic sounds of Megadeth’s Symphony of Destruction. But in a bold move the couple may take their first dance to the mellifluous melodies of Slayer’s Seasons in the Abyss. Or not. We at the celebrity news unit wish the happy couple all the best for their future together. Whoever they are.
