Re: FJs for the 3/9/20 week
The connection from the quote on Tuesday's Final flowed perfectly in my brain to The Importance of Being Earnest however the jump from bad cockney accent to DVD did not.
Friday was a bad overall day in which I could not concentrate at all from a bad day at work, yet still managed to get 10 out of the however many TS's the contestants laid bare.
I totally said Triassic

Negged with triassic. Have not yet seen Dickinson, but Hailee Steinfeld may or may not be my celebrity crush.

I wouldn't call it "canon." I'd call it "current events." It was released a couple of months ago. May never come up again.talkingaway wrote: ↑Sun Mar 15, 2020 2:28 am
Hailee Steinfeld's name rings a vague bell, but just as a "Gen Z film actress who hasn't been in anything I could match with her name". Didn't know Apple TV+ had a Dickinson series. Honestly, I didn't know Apple TV+ had series that were well-known enough to be canon - although I guess this was just "name a 19th century American female poet" in disguise, and I failed at recognizing that.
Apple+'s The Morning Show, starring Aniston, Witherspoon, and Carell, is also very likely to come up.

Went with Egypt as one of the two countries; knew India had a small percentage but didn't calculate that the small percentage of a huge population would be that big.
Blanked on Mary Poppins and went down the My Fair Lady path.
No clue on the TV show; incorrectly guessed Browning just to say something.
Read "The Importance of Being Earnest" in high school. Haven't thought of The Beverly Hillbillies since about that same time -- but I found out Wednesday I can still sing the entire theme. Along with Gilligan's Island. And Green Acres. And F Troop. And 95% of Car 54, Where Are You? And 90% of The Addams Family. Sigh. I suppose it would be a waste of neurons if I had anything else to use them for.
I'm not the defending Jeopardy! champion. But I have played one on TV.

Negged with Namib and Triassic.
Seen the 2002 film version of Earnest (that's the one where he saves Christmas, right?)
"Graphic novel" is sturdy enough terminology (certainly better than the other two options mentioned in the clue) if applied correctly to reference long form comics stories. But I've seen it (ab)used to refer to stories as short as six pages. "Graphic fiction" (or "graphic non-fiction" depending on content) is a preferable blanket term.
I would prefer not to.

She was in the last two Pitch Perfect movies, Spider-Man: Into the Spider-Verse (as Spider-Gwen), and starred in Bumblebee (the Transformers spinoff). Her first big role was in the Coen Brothers' remake of True Grit. She's technically Millennial, not Gen Z.talkingaway wrote: ↑Sun Mar 15, 2020 2:28 am Hailee Steinfeld's name rings a vague bell, but just as a "Gen Z film actress who hasn't been in anything I could match with her name".

As much as I've enjoyed Steinfeld's other work, that Dickinson show looks distressingly ahistorical.
