Greetings Kotaku-eers, and welcome to another late-night open thread. How was your Thanksgiving? Good, I hope? Snag some good Black Friday deals? Maybe you managed to grab some of these terrific Cyber Monday discounts?
For my part, Iām back in San Francisco wishing Iād brought some leftovers home with me. Iād kill for a good turkey & mayo sandwich.
At any rate, the thread is open to you! Here are your usual conversation-starters and random fun things from Internetville.
Louis C.K. will return to Parks & Recreation ā The star of one of my favorite shows returns to my other favorite show. Hooray!
The 1940ās movie star who invented the Cell Phone ā Neat story.
A new look at why Japan surrendered during WWII ā In which the common wisdom that Japan surrendered due to the atomic bombings is challenged.
The best fake Arnold Schwarzenegger DVD commentary ever made ā Oh, you say thatās real commentary, that thatās actually him? Well. I donāt have the movie on DVD, but if thatās actually Arnie then this is even more amazing than I thought.
Speaking of Total Recall, there is a remake in the works ā Really? Yes, really. It stars Colin Farrell, who after In Bruges can do no wrong for me. And also, Breaking Badās Bryan Cranston as the villain! So.. maybe not all bad?
Hereās Wes Montgomery with the Wynton Kelly Trio ā Theyāre playing the tune āNo Bluesā off the album āSmokinā at the Half Note,ā which is one of the greats. So swinging.
Thatās that! Chat away, and have a nice evening.
