Read on TwitterTron 1.5
I haven't seen Tron 2 - but if reports are to be believed it's as lacking as the original. On that note, here's a short film that features on the blu-Ray disc and Bridges (get it?) the gap between the two films, as well as unfortunately signalling that more may be coming.

Here's a short review for ya. Lupe Fiaso - Lasers is a complete pile of bloated, US, Kanye rip-off bullshit and a shadow of Food & Liquor.

Read on TwitterAd Nauseum: Day V Lately
Anyone who remembers J.R. Hartley from 1983 will get the joke with Yell's mildly nauseating updated commercial, but the campaign goes beyond the TV ad. Check out Day V Lately's website, in all in 1996-era glory. Best viewed in Internet Explorer.
Strange to only aim an ad at the over 28's, but at least Yellow Pages seem to be becoming aware of who might actually use them these days. We have Ask Jeeves now after all.

The Baader Meinhof Complex
Endless, shapeless biopic of the 70's West German terrorist group. Lacking in suspense.

Controlled Explosions
With new album Take Care, Take Care, Take Care released on April 18th on Bella Union, Chimpomatic favourites Explosions in the Sky have released their first preview of the album. The track Trembling Hands is more direct than much of the band's previous work ...and provides a taster of what to expect next month. I for one, cannot wait.

Something Wild
Always forget I've seen this one. A strange 80's brand of dark, wild comedy. See also 'After Hours'.

Lethal Weapon 2
Effective, old school, big-budget action sequel marking the beginning of the slide to action/comedy.
Halliwell says: Extremely violent policier which caters to the Rambo crowd but has enough pizazz to recommend it to most classes.

New J Mascis: Is It Done
ever since I spent three days thinking I'd finally blown my hearing after standing a bit too near the speakers at a Dinosaur Jr gig, I've kind of preferred it when J Mascis keeps things quiet... so I'm looking forward to this acoustic-ish album he's got coming out, with loads of guests (Kurt Vile, A Silver Mount Zion’s Sophie Trudeau, Kevin Drew, Ben Bridwell, Black Heart Procession’s Pall Jenkins, Matt Valentine etc). great primer track over at PFork and if you hand over your email Sub Pop will give you another

New My Morning Jacket: Circuital
"I want it to sound like we're Cuban or Cambodian kids, and we're wearing berets and we're walking through an alley and we stumble upon this band, and it explodes into this crazy sing-along."
My Morning Jacket have a new album - Circuital - out this spring. Make of that what you will. The good news:
"We want people to have almost the exact opposite experience they had last time. I definitely had some goals of wanting to make this one warmer and somehow more contained and more concise of a statement."
