Yeah, we're building a race of frog-people. It's a good time

Well not canonically, no, but this is transformative fiction.

Sometimes I trip on how happy we could be.
Did you get a chance to lick J.T. for me?
I have to say, I like both of those guys' work (Fincher and Sorkin), so I'm sure I'll like this too. Bummer about the women, though.

And then Ortus came and said "It's Ortin' time" and they all Orted off into the sunset

No, but I kind of brushed past him in the lobby when everyone was leaving! It was very exciting.
The thing about the female characters all being made up while the male characters are based on real people is I'm not sure there would be any women in this movie if Sorkin hadn't written some in, so it's hard to say for certain whether the choice was a net positive or negative. (I mean, I wouldn't trade the line Zuck's girlfriend gives at the end of the opening scene for anything - it's flat-out awesome. But knowing she's pure narrative device while he's a real guy gives the whole thing a weird vibe.)

(I just realized that there are 2 female lawyers in the courtroom scenes who may in fact have been based on real lawyers. But since they're part of the frame and not the main narrative, they don't really count as characters. The purpose of the deposition scenes is to give the main characters a handy excuse to transition in and out of flashbacks, so the lawyers' roles are pretty much limited to asking "So what happened next?" and "Is that the way you remember it?")

We won’t stop until everyone is gay.

I’d be lying if I didn’t say that I miss them all tonight…
What's with the hobbit feet?
Probably to protect his actual feet for a barefoot running scene.

He does, however, look almost exactly like Captain America as drawn by Kevin Maguire in the Adventures of Captain America, Sentinel of Liberty limited series.
