Thank you for this. Also, Wikipedia really is great sometimes:

I’d pay good money to hear more about “Darla” in the years after the movie. I hope she lived a good life.

My God, look at her. Her whole hand is covered in frosting. She knows what she did.

UPDATE: Looks like they almost blew it. The actress serving the cake got frosting on her thumb. You can see the terror in her eyes, as she wonders if they’ll have to do the whole scene again and deploy the backup cake because she thumbed the edge. Does she lick it off? Nightmare fuel.

A close-up of the offending thumb, frosting glaringly evident. Cake is clearly ruined.

Did they have a spare FBI cake, just in case? Was it delicious? This is the Blu-Ray audio commentary I want more of.

In the penultimate scene of the movie, before Agent Starling takes her phone call, they cut the first piece of a cake emblazoned with the FBI logo - it’s kind of a one-take shot. If they mess up they have to make a whole new FBI cake. (Note: it appears to be pre-sliced, but still a lot of pressure.)

Didn’t expect to see Apple accelerating the iPhone’s slide toward irrelevance more than it already has with AI features that a lot of users don’t want, but now we also get intrusive ads pushed from Apple Pay with movie promo codes for Apple’s F1 movie, which nobody cares about or wants.

this is a bad take and ignores the real challenge: that Apple still has to sell phones to people who abhor anything branded as AI. i mean isn’t it possible that 99% of the planet haven’t missed the so-called AI revolution, but that they’re smarter than the tech journos who have fallen for such BS?

found my Halloween costume in Andersonville, going to go as “neoliberal optimism” and walk up to everyone and ask them for $10

Her little surprised “ope!” after realizing that she came out too soon, finding her light, and then giggling as she tiptoes back off stage again is actually my favorite part of the video.
