Jackass 3D
A movie that might actually benefit from the inanity of 3D is the stupidest movie of them all - Jackass. According to Variety (via AICN) the possibility of Jackass 3D is highly likely. Can't be worse than Jaws.

Fugazi: Ice cream eatin' muthaf$£%as
Great piece up at Chunklet features a 40 minute edit of Fugazi stage-banter (minus music). Anyone who's seen Fugazi live will appreciate this, as it features much of the not-taken-any-crap awesome righteousness often displayed by the band. As noted, an Fugazi-curated ATP would be an instant "yes".
The album of the year has arrived.

Death To The Pixies: The Vans
80's-College-Rock-Legacy website Slicing Up Eyeballs points out that the Pixies have entered the al.rock/skate show mash up genre, taking on the No Age Emerica shoe with their own range for Vans. A slip-on and a high-top, no less.

Sci-Fi Nerdcom From Larry Charles & McG
still don't really trust a dude called McG (although I do have a soft spot for the popcorn-lite fluff of the Charlie's Angels films) but this sitcom w Larry Charles (the great Curb/Borat producer) has potential - semi-improv about a bunch of sci-fi geeks who decide to keep shooting eps of their favourite show after it's been cancelled (this actually happens, with Star Trek still rolling out from people's garages...)

MMJ vs American Dad
In one of the wackier mash-ups that we've seen for a while, My Morning Jacket will be appearing on snarky animated sit-com American Dad. The episode seems set to revolve around the band, with baby-carrying drunkard Zach Galifianakis from The Hangover also starring as a super-fan.
The show will feature six MMJ tracks, which will then be released by ATO as a kind of 'best-of'. I'd expect an MMJ best of to be longer than that.
