This week’s Open Thread is coming in too fast! Pull up, pull up!
Quick bursts; no questions or pics this week. You’re literate folks, though; you can keep up:
-
Malcolm McLaren, the British producer responsible for discovering the Sex Pistols, died of cancer at age 64 on Thursday.
-
The Addams Family Musical opened this week on Broadway. Reviews are largely mixed, even with Nathan Lane and Bebe Neuwirth as the loco parentis.
-
We’re breaking our promise not to talk about the Tiger Woods scandal because this is less about scandal and more about sport: Tiger Woods returned to the Masters this week, trailing Fred Couples by 2 strokes as of this writing.
-
And some movies! Opening this week: After.life, a Christina Ricci horror thriller that looks awful; The Runaways, a critically acclaimed biopic of Joan Jett and Cherrie Curie starring Kristen Stewart and Dakota Fanning; and Date Night, the Steve Carell / Tina Fey, are-you-sure-they-haven’t-worked-together-before, it’s-not-that-I-doubt-you, I’m-just-going-to-hit-IMDB-real-quick, you-were-correct, sorry-for-doubting-you action comedy.
It’s a dirty, grungy week of weird families and redemption, apparently. Sound off in the comments, for this is your … open thread.
