Millicent writing about My Big Fat Greek Wedding—yes yes yes. It is a classic to me!

My fave = the giant cake from signing in the rain. Think about it once a week

I am so glad someone else was bothered by that cake slice in The Silence of the Lambs. Amateurs (very realistic for the setting, but still! Amateurs)!

Me, a vegan, gobbling up the musings of an offal-forward writer and their thoughts about a cheese-based dish!

I'm also so elated to see The Silence of the Lambs cake on here, too — a food-in-film moment that completely slipped my mind until I saw it here!

I had it as my number 1 movie in 2010 and I have never gotten more heated comments on one of my end of the year lists in my life

I am OBSESSED WITH THIS. Please can we pool funds and commission Natasha for an investigative piece on movie cakes?? I need that. Back to the Future cake!! Matilda cake! Single perfect Bridesmaids cupcake!!

And in return I’ll write my version of this letter. 1,500 words on the eggs from Shrek.

Who knew I’d see the day when MOVIEPUDDING sent out an issue on Shrek. Deal.

I love this. Random but I recently watched the Alfonsu Cuaron show 'Disclaimer' and there's a scene of Cate Blanchett preparing fish that I think about all the time

Blue Is The Warmest Colour. There is a pasta dish in practically every scene. My friends and I ran out of the cinema and to the nearest Italian restaurant. Spaghetti bolognese never tasted so divine.

I love the range of these, of what we notice and remember, and how often it's just a bit, a moment, not necessarily a calculated intention. That's the best, the little bits.

love loved this. super quick - Todd Haynes' SUPERSTAR was released in 1987, not to be confused with Bruce McCulloch's SUPERSTAR (1999). only noticing this because i'm adding every one of these movies to my watchlist because i need to watch this food
