None of them are defending Christie’s honor because he’s not useful to them. He has zero access to offer, so let the fat jokes roll where they may. SHS, on the other hand, is so valuable that they’ll defend her against jokes that didn’t exist.

Sportswriter Mark Zuckerman has been getting swamped with hate tweets, and not about baseball. You’d think people would know the Facebook guy is Zuckerberg, not Zuckerman.

I was semi-expecting Circe as well, but they might be wary of her after using the Enchantress in Suicide Squad.

I don’t know how far in advanced this was planned.

Flip Bringing Up Baby and Philadelphia Story and that’s my list. Hepburn and Grant are so charming together in Holiday, without the manic edge of Bringing Up Baby. Edward Everett Horton is always a plus, and Jean Dixon was a good match for him. The one that really gets me, though, is poor, tragic Lew Ayres. Ned’s so…

I actively dislike Philadelphia Story for just those reasons (plus a few others). I know that puts me in a tiny minority, but oh well.

Dolly Parton needs a seat at that table.

I laughed an embarrassing amount at “I’m a gumshoe!” Apparently I like my Ralph Dad-jokey rather than sleazy.

She did, yeah. Kara the vice principal was trying to get Jefferson to go over and talk to her at the fundraiser when he was distracted by Lynn (who is very distracting, to be fair).

Dan Rather?

They smell so, so awful. Even by laundry soap standards they smell toxic. I seriously do not get why anyone would want to eat these.

Yeah, I have a fairly roly-poly calico cat with big sad eyes who has been called a Porg a lot recently. She’s tolerating it for now, but ultimately, she’s a cat. She will make me pay.

Oh, I agree. I just didn’t want to inspire any “um, actually...” stuff if I’d missed that it was once revealed at Comic Con that a scene had been written-but-not-filmed-and-we-must-share! where Scott talks about his bar mitzvah, or whatever. Can’t be too careful.

Yeah, Porgs aren’t Ewoks. Ewoks are people. Tiny, hairy people, but they have language and culture and stormtrooper recipes... they’re people. Porgs are more like loth-cats, or convorees.

Paul Rudd is Jewish, but Scott Lang isn’t*. Same as Gal Gadot and Wonder Woman. Generally people add “gentile actor/Jewish character” types to these lists (a la Craig and Bana in Munich) but not the reverse.

The Europeans in these things always sound English, unless there’s an evil uncle. He, of course, will sound German. And the countries themselves always have a vaguely Liechtensteiny quality, so they can put British Columbia’s forests and mountains to good use.

His character on Xena, Eli, was basically Jesus. Jesus in India (for some reason).

She did get a segment on Drunk History, starring Courtney Cox.

I rationalized it as him being abruptly tossed into an extreme situation where he had to be completely locked in and focused every moment to survive, but the minute he gets a chance to catch his breath, he’ll be swamped with a wave of Hope-angst. I just hope we’re not too busy with (admittedly awesome!) action scenes…
