It’s like the old nursery rhyme: in the second week of April, something something Open Thread.
What’s on the plate? Hanna, the Cate Blanchett / Saoirse Ronan action-thriller (words I never thought I’d type), opens this weekend to largely favorable reviews. Glenn Beck announced his show coming to an end, and since he’s as much entertainment as news I feel that’s Thread-worthy. Adele has 2011’s best-selling new release (so far), while Britney Spears’s newest album is number one on the Billboard charts.
Oh, and George Lucas’s daughter is apparently an MMA fighter. Badass.
Comment of the Week goes to newcomer Mark Berry, commenting on Fenzel’s article on the the Pseudoscientific Philosophy of Source Code:

Anyone playing the Overthinking It drinking game at home, take a shot!
And don’t forget that our latest custom-made commentary track, The Overview, is now available for The Karate Kid. Listen to Mark Lee, Dave Shechner and yours truly speculate about Southern Californian geography, Asian stereotypes and the socioeconomics of biking to school.
Could Amanda Lucas beat clandestine assassin Cate Blanchett in a duel atop Glenn Beck’s plywood desk? Or is there something we missed? Sound off in the comments, for this is your … Open Thread.
