New ‘Exodus’ Trailer Sets Ancient Egypt to Period-Accurate Coldplay
I like Coldplay. A lot! My wife and I have considered Ghost Stories our us-album since May, and “Midnight” is like ghost-synth Bon Iver. But Ridley Scott’s Exodus is a film that very much does not need to have this song over its first full-on, three-minute trailer! Anyway, you either know the story of Moses by now or you don’t. You’re gonna watch this trailer or won’t. I must set you free. (K, quick take: Exodus: Gods and Kings might be slick and Christian Bale–y enough to overcome its disruptively Caucasian cast and all the rehash blues and even that clunky-ass title.)
Kendrick showed up at Prince’s two-album release party in Minneapolis and came onstage to throw some bars at a ’98 Prince joint, “What’s My Name.” Coolest thing of the week, probably/definitely. “The duo’s virtuosic talents were a fine complement to each other, with Prince’s inimitable guitar shredding weaving in and out of Lamar’s quick verses.”
It’s Quvenzhané’s world, though, still.
Hey, back-to-back wonderful people hosting SNL! Kinda can’t believe, at Season 40, that I’m excited about this show TWO WEEKS IN A ROW.

MORE TWILIGHT FOREVER. (Via short films. Short films on Facebook.)
Ethan Hawke is rumored for Doctor Strange now. (And like with Stephen King’s Doctor Sleep, I am already so sick of having to type out “doctor” vs. “dr.”?)
Tetris (the best puzzle game/maybe all-around video game of all time, OF ALL TIME) is becoming a movie.
Knock-knock, who’s there, the creepy opening credits for American Horror Story: Freak Show, OK, please go away, don’t return, no solicitors.
