The Warden. But yeah, rewatching Shawshank is good for the reactions to the scene where he threatens to kick Andy out of the "one-bunk Hilton". You can't do that, Warden, how will he escape?!

But I'm a Cheerleader was released on July 7th, 2000. Bring it On was released on August 25th. Box Office Mojo tells me that they ran in theaters at the same time (Cheerleader's last week was August 25-31, where it ranked #36 behind Bring it On at #1).

It's pretty amazing that the most profitable movie in history is so forgettable. I think Avatar (which I'm glad is not a spinoff/prequel/reboot) just somehow managed to hit theaters at precisely the right time when people were going to movies again and hitting the peak of the 3D phase.

I think there's an implication that Kim and Jimmy slept with each other earlier in the season (smiling and whatnot after the deed was done). And we learned last season, from more than just boasts, that Jimmy has slept with women in Cicero, due to the Kevin Costner scene.

Jimmy moved clear across the room to paint that section of wall when Kim went to answer the phone. And he's doing his bestest to look like he knows nothing of what Kim is learning and is simply focused purely on painting that section of wall.

He was introduced (in Iron Man) as a nondescript kind of guy with a nondescript kind of name. Not like his boss with the ultimate spy name, Nick Fury.

I think the implication is that the President has ordered the CIA/whomever to keep close eyes on Hunter and Morse to make sure they don't get back into SHIELD. His hands might be tied with the Russian PM (and his intelligence forces?) also keeping an eye on the two to make sure that they don't get in with SHIELD and

Stick was still calling her "Ellie" (presumably short for the Greek name Elektra) prior to her being adopted by the Ambassador's family. Yet, Jacques (pretended to) believe she was French prior to his attempted assassination, and she presumably has connections to the Japanese organization, the Hand.

Nice idea. And they don't need to destroy Karen Page's character to get there, as she can fulfill the Ben Urich role now and the Kingpin already seems to be figuring out Daredevil's identity on his own (implied by the punch that led Fisk into requesting more files on Murdock's background).

Per a previous episode (I'm only up to this one), it takes 12 or 13 hours for Kilgrave's effect to wear off. The neighbor is well within that window. Presumably, he might feared that he would be unconcious for too long, and the Doctor would come to his senses and take him to the police or something.

There are two X's:
- Xaro Xhoan Daxos, the merchant prince of Qarth (attempted to marry Daeny)
- Xhondo, the mate aboard Sam Tarly's ship to Oldtown (may or may not appear in the show)

John Leguizamo will be a contestant next year?

True, but Tony created that Hulkbuster (Veronica) in Avengers 2. He's good pals with Banner and legitimately intrigued by the Hulk, but I could see him deciding, "for the good of the world", to skylaunch Bruce.

The joke was that they'd introduce themselves as Spencer, Tracy, and Kong, and we'd laugh because they said "Spencer Tracy" (like the actor), and then we'd laugh again when it turned out that Kong wasn't even the gorilla. It worked maybe once, but then they were stuck with the joke names for the entire series and

Since he had to take the "blue pill" for his own very attractive girlfriend, I assume he couldn't even if he wanted to. There's some trauma, physical or psychological, that's causing Taylor's character to have issues in the boudoir.

This means we'll soon get a "Jurassic Park Cinematic Universe."

According to Urban Dictionary, Ecto is a form of Japanese pornography involving the use of heavy, heavy amounts of lubrication. I presume to the point of covering the people involved or something. So, "Ectopoint" would be a site centering on this activity.

And Tony Stark acknowledges him as Larry King in Iron Man 2. So either Uatu is impersonating these two figures (Hefner and King) or they just bare an uncanny resemblance to each other that doesn't appear to be publicly acknowledged, perhaps due to some sort of cosmic mental block. If he was the Watcher and he wanted

Probably live. Don Pardo retired from NBC in 2004, but stayed on as SNL announcer, flying out to New York every weekend until 2006. Then he pre-recorded his announcements for a few episodes before they insisted he come back. It wasn't until 2010 that he got them to agree to furnish all announcements from his home

That reminds me of Richard Nixon's speech at the 1964 Republican National Convention:
