True..  TOO much of a time block is required for those.  I rarely
watch a film without pausing it several times though. If it's 1am
and there's still 30 or 50 minutes to go, I call it quits for a while.

The Colbert cameo is ridiculous. He's wearing a hood and an
eyepatch. I think the director specifically did not want to make it
an obvious recognizable Colbert moment. That guy loves attention.

But Sheeran had an almost 5 minute scene, a musician singing a folky
song on the road.  I think he was also commissioned for the theme
song "I See Fire", so given the opportinity to have a little fun
appearance in the movie too.

Sheeran was on one of those music award shows (I think it was I
Heart Radio) and performed a live solo song switching between
several instruments flawlessly. I was operating a sound board once
and could mess up switching between microphones and audio feeds. But
Sheeran operated a synth keyboard, sang, messed around with foot
switches, and threw in a guitar with no effort.  I never heard of
the guy, until 5 or 6 years ago.
