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.

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.
