+18, nsfw, mdi | explicit Marylily :) | 🤭🤭🤭
“Oh where’s Marlene?” said Mary as soon as she came into the living room and saw Lily reading on the couch, alone.
“With Dorcas” replied Lily, looking up from her book. “You are back early.. how was it?”
“Fine.”
“Fine? It was fine? Mary please…” Lily rolled her eyes and with the teasing tone she continued, “He was ugly wasn’t he? oh my god was he bald? Was your blind date Danny DeVito?”
Mary wanted to be annoyed at Lily, because the redhead was doing everything possible to be an annoying asshole, but Mary couldn’t be annoyed, she couldn’t, when she was praying to her knees not to buckle, because quite frankly Lily with that teasing smirk was hot.
“Oh I wish he would have been Danny DeVito, at least he would have been funnier” mumbled Mary, sitting on the other end of the couch.
“Oh so that bad huh?”
“Well.. he was nice, polite..?” Mary continued with a questioning tone
“Are you asking or are you telling cause if you are asking I don’t think I know the answer, you were the one on a date after all” Lily was on a roll of running her mouth apparently, but god that mouth looked so good doing anything. “You couldn’t have stayed there for more than an hour tho? What was so terrible about him? Patchy beard? Weird Mole? Fake accent?”
Mary considered making an excuse, saying something that would be believable but a lie. But Lily looked so beautiful, so so kissable.. and she looked exactly how Mary imagined her surrounded by fluffy cushions and blankets, comfortable and pretty. And when Mary was in that stuffy restaurant only thing she wanted to be was next to Lily on that couch. So she looked straight at the redheads teasing eyes and whispered. “He wasn’t you.”
The end of that confession and Lily’s lips on Mary’s were simultaneous.
Lily kissed like a woman hungry, woman determined, woman taking. Mary was immediately engulfed. Her head thrown back on the back side of the couch pulling Lily onto her lap.
Lily’s lips traveled downwards like they were on a mission. Mission to cover every inch of Mary’s body. First the jaw, then the sweet spot on her neck, collarbone, breasts, where the damned lacy bra allowed the skin to be free, stomach under messily shoved up blouse.
Every inch of her skin covered, accompanied by the sweet, sweet sounds of Mary. Until Lily’s head was buried under her skirt.
I mean she did help her choose that one before the date, “looks good with the blouse, goes with the new shoes” Lily had said, she however didn’t say how much she wanted to well to put it simply fuck Mary in it.
Lily was getting what she wished for and she was not wasting the opportunity. She kissed Mary right above her lacy panties, sucked on her inner tights, traced the sweet spot with her fingers. And when Mary’s voice grew higher and her squirming more well squirm-ish she finally buried her tongue. When Lily thought licking and sucking were not enough she added her fingers, looking up at Mary’s eyes rolling back. Mary was coming undone on the couch in the living room, the neighbors probably heard Lily enjoying her sweet treat. It was insane, probably would traumatize Marlene if she came back home seeing kneeling Lily and moaning mess of Mary. But well, what could Lily do, Mary needed to be reminded of some particular things and she was determined to be the cue.
As she felt Mary’s breathing shorten and her body start to shake, Lily quickly pulled out her fingers and stood up on her legs.
Even if Mary needed to be reminded of things, and even if Lily was taught to always finish her dinner, she also needed to get the message across. “You will get the rest when you stop going on dates.”
Lily could hear Mary’s tiny scoff as she tried to even out her breathing.
—————————————————————————
Mary needed more than couple of seconds to calm down and get her mind back. Being taken at the edge of the cliff but never getting the push to go over and fall was one of the pettiest things Lily had done. But I guess Mary deserved that, she deserved every bit of an attitude from Lily but she also deserved to get what she was dreaming the whole evening.
Mary walked to Lily’s door and watched her loosely braid her fiery hair with the same delicate fingers that had made Mary scream just moments ago. She twisted the strands of hair around each other swiftly and it looked beautiful, it was a shame they would get ruined very, very quickly under Mary’s fist.
Mary walked into Lily’s room like a panther, gracefully, laced with danger. Lily looked at her with a stoic expression like absolutely nothing had happened minutes ago. Though that expression was darkened quickly when Mary straddled her lap and started kissing her neck.
“I will.. stop.. the dates..” was breathed out after every kiss. “You can have all of me Lily”
“All mine?” was questioned by the head thrown back.
“All Yours” was echoed as Mary was suddenly being thrown on Lily’s bed.

“Scouts honor, chief.” She says with a salute as she gives the lighter an experimental flick before she stashed it in her pocket for the climb.
She crept along after him, stepping carefully since she couldn’t grasp the railing with her burnt hand- Not without risking god knows how many infectious diseases she could be exposing a fresh wound to.
As they approach the office she crouches lower and moves almost imperceptibly if you aren’t looking right at her- Seems she can be quite the sneak when she needs to be. As they approach the door she listens, staying close to Stan. She can’t see into the office but she sure can hear the guy yapping inside, and her blood instantly boils. In her time living with her Gran she’s learned a lot of things and one of those things was that ghosts were still just people, and they certainly didn’t deserved to be necromanced against their will, and forced to do gimmicky stuff just so some loser can fill his pockets. Disrespecting the dead was grounds for torment in her and her gran’s book.She doesn’t think even Stan would stoop this low. He had SOME decorum, some respect for doing things old school, without supernatural aid.
She thinks about the sad corpse-like woman on the table downstairs. Had she been trying to warn them? Or the person the doctor had locked in one of those body drawers, was that a ghost, or someone like her and Stan, who’d figured all of this out. If Stan hadn’t been there to help wrestle her out of the doctors grip, would she have ended up in a morgue drawer too?
She doesn’t really care about answers, she’s too busy imagining a hundred ways she could kick this creep in the shins. When Stan looks to her she’s scowling menacingly in the direction of the office door. She looks fiery and determined, eager to right this supernatural injustice and perhaps cause a bit of mayhem along the way. She nods at his question, pulling out an extra long strip of firecrackers, thrice as long as the ones she’s used so far. She withdraws the lighter too, and she carefully maneuvers her way in front of Stan so she can get at the door. Crouched on the floor she can’t see the man but she can see the bottom of his desk and his shiny black shoes beneath it. Target acquired. She expertly clicks the lighter and in a swift motion lights about half of the strip of firecrackers before sending them skidding across the floor, right underneath the man’s desk. They ignite just as they slide under the desk and the guy must have jumped a foot and a half out of his chair as he’s surrounded by the cacophony of cracking explosives, and sparks eat at the legs of his pants. Three times as many crackers means three times as king of a burn time. The guys clearly freaked, shouting and hollering first at his associate on the phone and then just in general as he swats at the cracking burning mass under his desk with a clipboard. He looks to the door and sees Olive crouching on the floor first, and thanks to her rather disheveled appearance along with the blood (Oh god it’s real blood, isn’t it?) She’s wiped from her hands, all over her clothes, he initially mistakes her for one of his “workers”
His face is beet red as he rounds his desk.
“What the hell are you doin up here? You and the other freaks are sposed to be downstairs makin’ me some money!” Olive can see the tiny burn holes in his pants and his shiny black shoes aren’t so shiny anymore. “And what the hells wrong with you, settin off.. Firecrackers.” He’s gotten close enough to the door to see Stan, and he quickly realizes that the girl isn’t a ghost or zombie, she’s the brat that had been chucking firecrackers at his actors! The damn kid had left the morgue without any ghosts in it for a good ten minutes because she’d scared them off!
A little girl and an old man? Not exactly who he’s expected to see, especially after the creepy girl sent them both through the floor.
“You!” He barks, taking a step back. “You’re the ones causing all this trouble in my fine establishment!” He glances to the left of the door and jumps for it, coming back armed with a massive wooden bat stained with what could be paint but that seems unlikely now. He chokes up his grip on it, seemingly unafraid to hit Olive who he’s closest to. “I’ve got a good deal goin here, you little runt! I ain’t gonna let you n’ your granddad here ruin it!” He charges at Olive and swings for her but thankfully she’s able to skirt him, and the guy stumbles into the hallway with the pair of them. He’s still focused on the kid, not noticing the old guy who’s armed with brass knuckles and big arms to back them up. He very VERY stupidly has his back to the old conman and he certainly was going to regret that lapse in judgement.
Stan sighs, as though expecting this, and hands Olive his lighter begrudgingly.
“I’m expecting that back though kiddo. I stole that from a guy in a bar in Georgia in 1978, and I ain’t gettin’ in another bar brawl to find another one as good as that again.”
Stan starts to make his way up the stairwell, one hand glued to the railing, the other blindly groping in front of him as though he was expecting to encounter someone ahead of him. The stairwell smells dank and musty, the smell of mould spores and decaying food heavy in the air.
Eventually, a dim artificial light starts to lighten the stairwell as they reach the top and enter out into a corridor. The walls are bare breeze blocks whitewashed. The pair creep along until they see a door coming up on the right. It is slightly ajar, cracked open wide enough for Stan to peek in.
It’s a small office, and inside is a large, squat man sitting in a office chair. Two tufts of black hair poke out from either side of his head but otherwise he’s completely bald. He is sat before a bank of monitors, all of which are burbling out live audio feeds. They seem to be CCTV feeds of the rooms Stan and Olive have just been through. The man in the chair cackles chestily as he spies a family get spooked by the ‘fear actor’ in the room Stan and Olive were last in. A stub of a cigar glows from the side of his mouth as he takes a puff. A hands-free headset is just visible on his head.
“No Frankie it’s totally legit, honest.” the man starts talking, most likely to whoever was on the other end of the headset. “Found it on the dark web. It’s like a necromancy for dummies text.” He takes another drag on his cigar and pauses briefly to cough.
“Yeah. Turns out that this podunk town is ground zero for weird. Turns out this supermarket was built on an old graveyard. Dumbasses didn’t even move the bodies. I come in, do a few chants, yadda yadda yadda and BAM!” -he slams a fist on the desk for emphasis- “I raise the dead. They work 24/7, and I don’t even gots to pay them.” He snorts happily and coughs again.
“No. That’s the best thing of all, most of ‘em don’t even know they’re in a tourist attraction. Far as they know they’re just tryin’ to make people go away. Let them rest in peace, ha!”
Stan turns back to Olive.
“You got those firecrackers ready?” he whispers over to her.
#**you may be thinking wow this guy went 0-60 on the im gonna kill you thing but I want Stan to beat the ever loving shit out of him#**and this seems to be the quickest route to that#**the con#**the believer#**honestly I think this is what my old haunt boss wanted to do whenever we criticized him#**he did have a bat in his office in case of guests like?? finding it I guess?#**idk all his office was good for was it’s where he went to vape#**the man was in his early to mid sixties and vaping#**imagine Stan vaping. that’s what Jimmy was like#**if stan was played by danny devito had a sort of Long Island accent and vapes.#**that’s this guy

NEW TO NOT S&P APPROVED! The Familiar Faces Badge Pack!
A set of 4 beautifully designed 25mm pin badges, starring the Pines family pulling their funniest faces. (Ford doesn't pull funny faces.)
"Grunkle Stan here. I know that you think I'm the world's most beautiful man. We all do. Save maybe Danny DeVito. Point is, why wouldn't you want me on a badge? Because I'm always ready for a merchandising opportunity, I got the family together on Summerween and told 'em to pull their funniest faces. This is the result! Ya got one badge of me doin' my best spooky face. There's one of Dippy goin' all cross-eyed (I think he's cross-eyed normally, but keep it schtum) one of Mabel pretendin' she's just seen pancakes and one of Sixer lookin' like he's posing for his Nobel prize. Admittedly his is a bit underwhelming but eh…he's not used to havin' fun. All wrapped in a little plastic baggy with an exclusive, hand-designed card by some shlubby limey artist. He'll even do a doodle on the envelope, like some kinda weird signature dealy. These 25mm badges have been drawn especially by the artist, mimicking the style of the Disney TV series, and lovingly manufactured by an artisan team (and definitely not Soos during his lunch breaks). They feature a D-pin closure and are printed in vivid full colour, so it's just like those fancy movies they've got these days! Even better, we guarantee that none of this money is going to a sinister cartoon mouse, and that they're definitely not S&P approved! I even modelled one myself. I uh - I got shrunk by a crystal in the forest. Don't worry about it."

Beetlejuice Beetlejuice Opinion (Obligatory Spoiler Warning)
So, it keeps the spirit of the original very much, which I love. They had a brilliant and hilarious way of working around not having Charles's actor come back (because apparently he's a creep, Idk the specifics because actors don't interest me, but you can look it up). Danny Devito cameo!!! Willem Dafoe is charming as usual!!! We stan Lydia, Astrid and Delia, they were amazing. Michael Keaton was awesome as usual and they absolutely did not hold back on Beetlejuice's character. I was worried they might make Beetlejuice more PC to make him more likeable, but like, his character is absolutely not PC and he's supposed to be a dirtbag, not likeable, but still entertaining, and they executed it perfectly. Loved the silly backstory they gave him. Also the new soul sucker character is very Mommy, but she didn't add too much to the film, the main focus was on the Deets family and BJ as it should be. Although maybe they could have done more with her, Idk, I'm not an expert in film making. I loved that the guys in yellow are just a part of the town now, they never took them back to the Netherworld, so I like to think they just live there now. Loved how Lydia didn't end up marrying anyone and now can focus on her relationship with her daughter.
The only down sides: I miss the Harry Belafonte music, I wish they had used more of his songs. I miss Barbara and Adam, but Idk if something happened to their actors too or what, I'll maybe look it up. I feel like the makeup between Lydia and Astrid was a bit rushed in the scene where they reunited with Astrid's dad, but then again, movies have limited time. They killed Bob :(. I really didn't like that, justice for Bob, he was doing the best he could and deserved so much better. Also I felt personally attacked when the creepy guy said he wanted to marry Lydia on Halloween, like, that's what me and my fiancé are doing this year and like, I'm so offended /j.

The fact that some of y’all will eagerly watch a Disney movie that stars Danny DeVito or Keanu Reeves says a lot about you.
Not that I mind, they’re both amazing and Toy Story 4 and Hercules are masterpieces.
also can we please get keanu and adam driver to voice animated disney princes who are twin brothers PLEASE DISNEY I’M BEGGING YOU

ok so let me get a rundown on the mcu atm (+bonus sonic thing)
-half of the original six avengers are dead while the other half is either crippled physically (bruce) or emotionally (thor) or retired (clint)
-the guardians are back chilling in space with a new recruit and are looking for the gamora variant while asgard is now ruled by valkyrie (and either jane or carol)
-local best girl in the franchise creates a fake reality with a fake best husband and fake children enslaving and mentally torturing an entire town, witch attempts to steal her powers, witch gets her ass kicked but apparently will return(?), best girl on the run with evil book, husband is now real again and on the run as well. oh hi monica why are you angry with aunt carol?
-cool dude with wings becomes captain america, works with the other dude with metal arm to stop terrorists with actual good motives, peggy carter’s niece is now a criminal????, zemo is in prison but as if that’s ever gonna stop that bitch we love zemo. and also isaiah. god bless isaiah.
-local asgardian tumblr sexyman sees his life flash through his eyes thanks to time police variant of lightning mcqueen (stan mobius btw) and becomes a simp for female version of himself who kills a very based dude and lets the multiverse loose, which means we now have an evil time overlord who indirectly rules the TVA. also fuck miss minutes i hate her and i love her at the same time
-after loki fucks up, watcher watches 8 of his fuckups and then calls them together to deal with a far better villain than thanos in terms of character design
-carol offplanet as usual, nick offplanet with skrulls, t’challa is ????, strange is sipping good coffee and is still doing it to this day while wong does illegal fights with emil blonsky
-crazy contessa builds her own bootleg avengers starting with blonde widow (YELENA WOOOOOO) and...eugh, john walker (like i understood him as a character but at the same time fuck him you’re never gonna be better than steve rogers). LET KATE IN.
-in 2016 after letting steve go, nat took down a floating fortress, killed danny devito and did it with the help of her little sister who isn’t really her little sister, her bootleg captain america russian dad who isn’t really her dad, and her mom who isn’t really her mom and then decided to go die on vormir without thinking about yelena or her other family, oh and taskmaster was there too but it wasn’t really cool and im realizing she kept away from them for those five years as to avoid the mutual pain and because yelena was snapped
-new superheroes popping out left and right such as the coolest martial artist user in the history of ever who has ten magical space rings taken from his sickass father the actual mandarin, and katy. we love katy. san francisco has the best heroes im telling you with shaun and scott. oh and apparently some thousand year old space dudes i haven’t seen eternals yet i only know they are out there looking for their similiars. also waiting for marc, kamala and jennifer be like
-harry styles is thanos’ brother????? no wonder that dude wanted half of life dead he was the least favorite kid
- we have a new hawkeye and i haven’t seen the series yet but THERE IS LUCKY. ALL IS GOOD. THERE IS KINGPIN. ALL IS GOOD. who is echo?
-peter parker? who’s peter parker? : )
sidenote but i want a crossover between sonic, antman and shang-chi THEY ALL WORK IN SAN FRANSISCO EVEN IF SONIC LIVES IN MONTANA COME ON
#mcu phase 4#mcu phase four#mcu recap#tony stark#steve rogers#natasha romanov#bruce banner#clint barton#thanos#peter quill#gamora#thor#wanda maximoff#vision#agatha harkness#sam wilson#bucky barnes#sharon carter#peter parker#kate bishop#loki#sylvie#he who remains#miss minutes#mobius#baron zemo#carol danvers#t'challa#isaiah bradley#yelena belova

my partner n i have a running gag from when i was younger where i said that i would get a tattoo of danny devito’s face on my ass bc of how much i loved him as frank reynolds in sunny. anyway, i joked tonight that gordon ramsay would be another one bc of how much i watch his shows. you see where this is going. we decided the third one would be stan smith and the fourth, to complete a mount rushmore type of monument to my comfort shows… he decided would be house and i IMMEDIATELY lost my shit bc he knows i started watching house again this fall because of your posting about it and i just felt really kin with you at that moment because i feel like you would also appreciate the thought of a gregory house tattoo on ur ass
THE FACT THAT IF YOU GOT THIS TATTOO I WOULD ULTIMATELY BE RESPONSIBLE FOR IT... this is too much power for one person
#thank you for THE best ask ive ever received in 9 years on this site#matchstick-bones#ask#houseposting#house md#vaaya moodu

just found out that i, a known trans man, am 1 inch taller than ben shapiro. though he routinely lies about his height. meaning he is very insecure about it.
nothing has helped my height dysphoria more than realizing that this idiot who thinks he gets to define masculinity is failing by his own implied definition while i, even in my non-conformity, somehow pass.
like yeah, danny devito is a 4’10” icon. and we stan a short king. but there’s something very … flippant? defiant? in the perverse joy i take in this fact

Weekend Top Ten #498
Top Ten Movie Cameos
The first time I think I ever noticed someone cameoing in a movie was Steven Spielberg. I was watching The Blues Brothers, and there was this guy, who I was sure was Mr. The Berg. I must have seen him in some behind-the-scenes something or the other. But he was a director, not an actor, so it couldn’t have been him, right? Then years later I was reading Empire, and sure enough, I was vindicated. It was indeed the play mountain himself. But more on that later.
So, cameos, then. What is a cameo? Now, in my opinion, I think it really has to be small. Really, it should just be one scene – or even one shot. The smaller the better. I’ve seen people online refer to Judi Dench in Shakespeare in Love or Tom Cruise in Tropic Thunder as cameos, which is very, very daft, as those are clearly supporting roles – even if they are quite small (and remember, Dench didn’t win her Oscar for “Best Cameo”, she won it for “We Meant To Give You This Last Year”, which is a very important category in the Oscars). I also think the best cameos should be unexpected; a nice surprising treat. And usually they’re funny – the incongruity of seeing that person in this film. Because that’s the other thing: for a cameo to really work, the person cameoing has to be kinda famous. For instance, some might say that Ashley Johnson in The Avengers is a cameo, but whilst she’s obviously awesome and prodigiously talented, I don’t think she’s instantly recognisable enough (which, y’know, she’s mostly famous as a voice actor); also there’s nothing inherently funny or surprising about her role, she’s a waitress who’s saved by Captain America. It doesn’t feel like it’s saying anything to have Johnson play that role, other than I guess Joss Whedon wanted her in the movie (it’s actually funnier that her brief scene is referenced in Loki, because Kate Herron had the whole of the MCU to draw from in a montage, but chose to use an unknown character who’s in one tiny bit of one film, entirely because she’s a huge fan of The Last of Us – see, that is arguably a cameo).
So my rationale for what is and isn’t a cameo might seem complex or even arbitrary, but when has that stopped me in the past? And so, with no further ado, we now get deep into the weeds of it and celebrate my favourite movie cameos of all time. Oh, and there’s no Bill Murray here; I know, I know, it’s a really famous cameo, but, er, I’ve never seen Zombieland. Sorry.
Stan Lee in Pretty Much Everything (2000-2019): I mean, who else? The absolute King of Cameos. Lee was a massive publicity hound all his life, and passed up no opportunity to get in front of the camera, so once big, proper movies were being made of his comics, he was right there, selling hot dogs in X-Men (2000), rescuing children in Spider-Man (2002), and then right through every MCU film until his sad death in 2019 (and even popping up in Teen Titans!). Hearing him tell Miles Morales “I'm going to miss him,” in Into the Spider-Verse chokes me up every time.
Carrie Fisher & George Lucas in Hook (1991): this has always been one of my favourites because unlike virtually every other entry in this list, you only know this if you’ve been told. But it’s funny and it’s sweet. When Tinkerbell takes Peter to Neverland, she flies over a bridge, where a silhouetted couple are seen canoodling. Her pixie dust falls across them, and they begin to float into the air. And apparently the unrecognisable couple are played by Princess Leia and the director of Star Wars. Which, I think you’ll agree, is pretty cool (Hook is really good for cameos).
Brad Pitt in Deadpool 2 (2018): having an invisible character offers plenty of opportunity for some good gags, especially in a Deadpool movie, but the real laugh in the film comes when the Vanisher is electrocuted and we get to see his face for a split second. And – ha – it turns out to be the hugely mega-famous Brad Pitt. It’s funny because he’s a massive star.
Martin Sheen in Hot Shots! Part Deux (1993): it’s one thing for the movie to do an Apocalypse Now gag, as Charlie Sheen’s Topper Harley sails down a river on a military boat, but hanging a lampshade on it by making it cross over with Martin Sheen’s Willard from the classic seventies Vietnam epic is another thing entirely. And then both actors notice each other – ha, funny, they’re father and son in real life – and say in unison, “I loved you in Wall Street!”. Very on-the-nose all the funnier for it.
Steven Spielberg in The Blues Brothers (1980): well, I mentioned him, and here he is, a totally nonplussed-looking administrator bloke just merrily eating a sandwich. He’s frightfully young (I’m guessing he was probably about 32 or 33) and he’s got a big brown tache instead of his usual ‘Berg Beard, he’s dressed very smartly and he’s awfully polite. His demeanour is hilariously in stark contrast to the mayhem around him, and his public persona is also hilariously in contrast to the raucous and ribald mood of the movie.
Cate Blanchett in Hot Fuzz (2007): this is one I didn’t even notice till I read about it after seeing the movie. In a very funny scene where Simon Pegg’s Nick Angel chats to his ex-girlfriend Janine, she is head-to-toe in forensic gear throughout, with a mask covering her face, so all we see are her eyes. But the gag of it is, she’s played by the phenomenally famous Cate Blanchett. You get a megastar to do one scene but make her unrecognisable. So funny it beats Peter Jackson’s evil Santa.
Don Ameche & Ralph Bellamy in Coming to America (1988): this is another one I remember finding hilarious when I was a kid. Walking down the street late at night with love interest Lisa (Shari Headley), Akeem (Eddie Murphy) nonchalantly gives a huge wad of cash to some poor homeless bums. But it turns out that they’re played by Murphy’s old Trading Places co-stars Ameche and Bellamy – and they refer to each other by their character names from that earlier film. “We’re back!” declares Ameche, referencing the end of Trading Places, when their crooked broker characters were defeated and ruined by Murphy and Dan Aykroyd. It’s a great bit of shared-universe tomfoolery, and very funny for fans of Murphy’s movies. Oh, and speaking of Aykroyd…
Dan Aykroyd in Casper (1995): in 1995 it had been six long, bitter years without a new Ghostbusters film; back then, we could still hold out hope for a proper Ghostbuster 3. Sadly that never came to pass, but it was a very pleasant surprise when Ray Stantz himself popped up in Casper, of all things, fearfully running out of Whipstaff Manor in full ghostbusting regalia and declaring, “Who ya gonna call? Someone else!”. I mean, after facing down Gozer and Vigo and who knows what else, you’d think three sarcastic arsehole ghosts would be no match for him, but maybe the ‘busters were having tough times. Maybe this will all be backstory in Ghostbusters: Afterlife. Maybe Cathy Moriarty and Eric Idle will return the favour and do cameos of their own. We can but hope.
Matt Damon, Luke Hemsworth, & Sam Neill in Thor: Ragnarok (2017): twenty years ago you could point to Goldmember as the, er, gold standard in multi-character cameo pile-ups. And while that is great – Danny DeVito giving the finger, Spielberg back-flipping – I think it’s been surpassed by this minor gaggle of stars hamming it up. Matt Damon – famouser than anyone actually billed in the movie – is An Actor Playing Loki. Dr. Alan Grant from Jurassic Park is An Actor Playing Odin (whilst Odin’s actor, Anthony Hopkins, plays Tom Hiddleston playing Loki playing Odin – do keep up), and Thor’s Real-Life Brother plays An Actor Playing Thor. It’s all delightfully meta and hilarious.
Ollie Johnston & Frank Thomas in The Incredibles (2004): this one’s really sweet, and like the Hook cameo, would very easily slip you by. At the end of the film, after the climactic battle, two old men cheer on the superheroes – “That’s old school!” “Yep, no school like the old school!” – but what’s great is that they’re voiced by – and designed to look like – Ollie Johnston and Frank Thomas, the last two surviving members of the famous “Nine Old Men” group of Disney animators, who’d worked on many of the classic Disney films. This was Pixar and director Brad Bird giving a tip of the hat to the legends who came before them, and made all the sweeter by the fact that Johnston and Thomas (both sadly now deceased) were absolute best buds in real life. A cameo that educates and makes you think! How nice!
There you go. Sadly no room for any of the many great Star Wars cameos, from Daniel Craig through to George Lucas’ entire family. Oh well!
