An open thread for Thursday, November 5, 2026, invites readers to mark Guy Fawkes Night, the traditional British commemoration of the failed 1605 Gunpowder Plot. The post features a photograph from the UK premiere of the film "V for Vendetta" at London's Empire Leicester Square on March 8, 2006, showing actors in character costumes. The movie, based on Alan Moore's graphic novel and written and co-produced by the Wachowski siblings, has become a cultural touchstone for the date.
The discussion thread, authored by Tim Edwards, serves as a space for community conversation on the historical anniversary and its modern pop-culture connections.
