#Cheetah  #KristenWiig #PattyJenkins #WonderWoman  #WW84

 The “Saturday Night Live” alum will face off against Gal Gadot in the sequel.

If a resurrected Steve Trevor clad in a Members Only jacket wasn’t enough to get you amped about the “Wonder Woman” sequel, then behold the first look at Kristen Wiig as the superhero’s new foe, Cheetah.

So excited to confirm the most thrilling news. Yes! It’s true! So incredibly lucky to welcome the sensationally talented Kristen Wiig to our Wonder Woman family. Can't wait to finally work with one of my favorites. And SO excited by what we have planned. !!! @GalGadot
7:51 AM - Mar 9, 2018

Director Patty Jenkins has been blessing us with sneak peeks at the upcoming “Wonder Woman 1984,” which doesn’t actually hit theaters until November 2019. On Wednesday, she posted the first image of Wiig as Barbara Minerva, aka Cheetah, and by the looks of it, she’s already a more exciting villain than Ares. 

While the character has seen many iterations throughout comic book history, one current speculation is that Wiig will play Minerva as an anthropologist who comes upon the lost city of Urzkartagan and is transformed into Cheetah in a ritual.

 Jenkins confirmed Wiig’s casting in March after reports of her involvement in the sequel surfaced. Star Gal Gadot tweeted, “This is going to be WONDERful!”

In the photo, Wiig, wearing an ’80s-appropriate baggy sweater and mid-calf skirt, stands in what looks like a museum filled with various stuffed animals, presumably foreshadowing her transformation into the feline archnemesis.

Enter Barbara Minerva…

 Cheetah is historically one of Wonder Woman’s greatest adversaries, but Vulture reporter Kyle Buchanan teased that the two will start as friends in the movie. Minerva, he wrote, “emulates Wonder Woman, then seeks to usurp her.” 

 Details about the sequel are scarce, although we do know that “Wonder Woman 1984” will fast-forward decades after the first film, which dropped the demigoddess in the middle of World War I and will shift location to Washington, D.C. Apart from Gadot, Wiig, and Chris Pine, “Games of Thrones” star Pedro Pascal has also been cast in a pivotal but undisclosed role.

 Fans shared photos across social media earlier this month of Gadot and Pine filming scenes in the D.C. area with extras walking around in ’80s-era clothing. Gadot’s stunt double was spotted performing an aerial stunt in front of the U.S. Capitol in one, particularly stunning sequence. 

 “Wonder Woman 1984” is scheduled to open on Nov. 1, 2019.

A Brief History of Skittles - Taste the rainbow

#Candy #Skittles #TastetheRainbow The candy that we are so familiar with today first came into existence in 1974. Skittles spent the first five years of their lives solely in Britain since it wasn’t until 1979 that North America got a chance to taste  the  rainbow. There is much speculation surrounding the creator of Skittles, as nobody really knows exactly who first made them. One story suggests that a British man named Mr. Skittles looked at a rainbow one day and wondered how it would taste. Other sources state that the Wrigley Company, founded in 1891, created candy and other confectionery, including Extra chewing gum. However, although Wrigley produces Skittles today, it is widely accepted that an unknown British company was the original manufacturer. After three years of being imported to North America from the UK, Skittles started being manufactured in the US and Britain. There were very few flavors compared to the varieties available today. Consumers enjoyed gra...

Coors Light will cover dog adoption fees across the country until Feb. 21

#CoorsLight #DogAdoptions #COORS4k9   A day after former Florida State Seminoles and Kansas City Chiefs defensive lineman Derrick Nnadi paid for dog adoptions at a Kansas City shelter, Coors Light said hold my beer…literally.   Coors Light announced it will reimburse up to $100 in fees for 1,000 dog adoptions across the country for pups taken to their forever homes. The offer is good through Feb. 21 for adopters who are 21 or older.     “Cuffing Season is a major cultural trend and poses tension for our younger drinkers, as they navigate the stress of finding someone to spend the cold months with,” Chelsea Parker, marketing manager at Molson Coors, said in a statement. “With almost half of millennials planning to stay in on Valentine’s Day, we wanted to help empower people to savor the day with Coors Light and a dog by their side.”  Eligible participants can text “COORS4k9” and a picture of their adoption receipt to 28130.

9 things about MLK's speech and the March on Washington

 #MLK  #MartinLutherKingJr  #MarchonWashington #IHaveaDream "I have a dream this afternoon that my four little children will not come up in the same young days that I came up within, but they will be judged on the basis of the content of their character, not the color of their skin." The Rev. Martin Luther King Jr. spoke these words in 1963, but this was not the speech that would go down as one of the most important addresses in US history. King spoke these words in Detroit, two months before he addressed a crowd of nearly 250,000 with his resounding "I Have a Dream" speech at the March on Washington for Freedom and Jobs on August 28, 1963. Several of King's staff members actually tried to discourage him from using the same "I have a dream" refrain again. As we all know, that didn't happen. But how this pivotal speech was crafted is just one of several interesting facts about what is one of the most important moments in the 2...
