Duuuuuuudes!! It's canon!! Rebecca ain't interested in returning to police. In the special features crew commentary at the very end of the film they say they cut the bit where Rebecca said she wants to become a monster hunter, and Renfield is like "I'm not aware of any other monsters."
(they also sorta addressed Renfield's unexplained bullet wounds, saying they were shooting that final Robert/Teddy fight from like 67 set ups. We can therefore extrapolate that it was very easy to miss the outfit change)
(they did not address the mystery guy murdered at the end of Drac's rampage at the CoDA meeting)
Oh, also also!!! They said that at the cafe in the end, when Rebecca hours to make a call, and Drac starts telepathically talking to Robert, I though Robert panics, and that's why he's looking around frantically, but they said it's actually Dracula looking through his eyes!! It makes sense, I just completely misinterpreted that moment.

“So tiny, itty bitty. I mean, he’s like a little fairy next to me, my elf self.” ~Ms. Evangeline Lilly, an interview on the special features of the extended addition of The Desolation of Smaug.
Thanks to Ms. Lily girl-geeking over how cute the Dwarrow are, after they’ve been digitally shrunk, I now head-cannon that Tauriel has a size kink and adores how short her Dwarf is.💚

My YouTube account just reached 1k subscribers so now I'm gonna make a list of the coolest Angela Bassett video finds I've found and shared on there and how I found them (even if the target audience here is only like one person)
Mr. & Mrs. Smith deleted scenes
Gonna start with the most recent find bc I never thought this footage would see the light of day. They shot all these scenes and only 30 seconds of Angela's voice made it to the movie bc the villains were dropped completely. Turns out the footage had been hiding on the second disc of an unrated special edition DVD release all along.
Old TV Commercials (KFC, Equal, Allstate)
These commercials you're really only able to find if you know what you're looking for. And the way I found out was through interviews in which they were mentioned (one was a newspaper clipping from 1991 that mentioned Equal and Allstate). Then it's watching tons of old commercials from those brands on YouTube until finally Angela's pretty face shows up. So grateful to the people who uploaded them first (even if they didn't mention Angela in the description).
Doubletake & Liberty
There are quite a few movies and shows in Angela's filmography that seem impossible to find. And some of them are really not available to watch anywhere unless you pay private sellers to send you the files. That's what I had to do to unearth these two rare gems. [insert Thanos gif iykyk] but no regrets because I really wanted to see them. Still hoping to find Equal Justice, STAT and the full Ryan's Hope episode
Ryan's Hope clip
Which brings me to the next tiny (very tiny) gem. For some time I had my doubts she was actually ever even in this soap opera. That was until I watched the Oscar's red carpet 2023 and they aired this super short clip of her character. Next to Angela's dress and Gaga's performance that was my highlight of the night.
My Man Bovanne
Talk about credits that aren't even on her IMDb. I found out about her role in this in the Playbill of Joe Turner's Come and Gone (which Angela starred in on Broadway in 1988). Made an account for the one website that hosted this little-known-about short film to be able to screenrecord it. That was a happy day. Fun fact I learned in a newspaper clipping since: Angela only got to be in it because the person who was first cast for her role got sick.
HeartBeat
Another one that took me very, very long to find. This is probably the one I had to use the most detective skills for. Found a dead video on a site that used to host it, tried to look up the account owner on other social media channels and finally found their tumblr that was still active (hooray) and they sent me the file. Best day ever (even though the plot of the episode is really heartbreaking).
Angela talking about kissing Gaga to Access Hollywood
Listen... Listen. If you know me, you know that these two are my QUEENS. They are everything to me and the fact that they played lovers? That they kissed and enjoyed it? Means the world (read my fanfiction on AO3 😉). This interview in particular has only been available as an article to read on their website for many years now but I could never find the video. I wanted to hear Angela say how she kissed Gaga and pulled her in and told her I love you when the director called cut and made Gaga jump. I found an old link to a long deleted YouTube video in an old tweet on one of my many Twitter searches for any trace of this video. Bless the person who uploaded it back then and bless the people who shared it on Twitter and bless the person who backed it up in the Wayback Machine. I owe you all eternal gratitude.
A 17-minute interview about Ruby's Bucket of Blood
DVD extras hold many gems and this is one of the biggest Angela-focused special features on a DVD I've seen. According to a friend who bought the DVD much longer ago, it wasn't even always part of it so I feel very blessed that this came with my DVD that I only bought bc it's one of my favorite movies and I like to collect those on physical copies.
Her Boyz n the Hood audition tape
In a newspaper clipping I read that this has actually been a part of physical releases of this movie since they still put out Laser Discs. But somehow I've never seen it surface online. I found it in a torrent that had all the Bluray special features (the best kind of torrents) and decided to share it of course. It has since gone viral on TikTok (where someone reposted it) which made me very happy. Who thought we'd ever get to see Ms. Angela Bassett audition??
Celebrity Poker Showdown
You have to admit, Angela in a reality game show is just gold. Was looking for this for a long time too and eventually found a Russian torrent (thank you Russians). Was luckily able to share the full episode on YouTube so everyone can get the full experience of "Angela folds" ten times in a row 😁
Angela's full performances of 3 songs on Close to the Enemy
[I only linked one here] Angela's character on Close to the Enemy was unfortunately very small but the British DVD release had extended scenes of 3 of her performances on it. [The American Bluray for some reason didn't.] Glad I found out about these.
1993 Fresh Air radio interview
I don't know if this counts as a rare find as it is freely available on the NPR website and in my university library BUT I have never seen it acknowledged until I shared it on YouTube and let me tell you I put blood, sweat and tears into captioning this 16-minute interview 😭 the payoff was grand. One interviewer from Variety used it in her research and mentioned it to Angela (who couldn't even remember it lmao) and part of the audio was also used in a tribute post the Academy (yes the Oscar Academy) did for her birthday. It's not my interview but I know they wouldn't have done so if it wasn't for my video (that I posted in tribute to the great Tina Turner. RIP.)
(Assumably) all her episodes of Search for Tomorrow
If I'm not mistaken this was her first on-camera acting job and a cool guy posted all her episodes (and hundreds of episodes she wasn't in) on YouTube last year. Luckily I downloaded them all right away as his channel no longer exists. Her episodes are safe on my hard drive tho and her scenes are safe on my YouTube channel :)
I was going to share a link to the unaired pilot of Identity (2011) that someone posted but it's already been privated again. Might post her scenes at some point, in the meantime if you're interested in this episode you can always dm me, I saved it to my hard drive. Very exciting find indeed as I also never expected it to see the light of day.
Honestly I get excited over every interview, DVD extra, speech or segment from a TV special that I come across (especially old ones). Sharing these on my YouTube channel is my pride and joy and I also have a scenepack account on Instagram (@/angelabassettscenes) where I share all her scenes from her bigger projects that I can't share to YouTube for everyone who wants to watch, edit or GIF them. Seeing people get as excited as I do when I share my finds makes me so happy and I'm definitely not done. Many DVD featurettes still to come. Angela's work will be preserved on this channel by any means necessary 😌
If you've read this far, thank you for reading and have a good day/night

I still feel this way about my own father's death.
Second open heart surgery, triple bypass, 91% blockage in at least one artery. A necessary risk if it meant a full life after heart surgery.
All was well, until he threw a clot from that, it went to his brain causing a bad stroke.
Neurology left us in lurch. Dropped the ball for the first year or two.
Diagnosis: VASCULAR DEMENTIA
That goddamn clot killed the brain tissue. It deteriorated his brain over 5 years. That's the average lifespan of someone with Vascular Dementia. He made it just barely into a sixth year. And only because we tirefully (yes we were very broken down tired at that point) without help of any kind kept him going until his appetite and ability to swallow finally ended his life.
There were some fun days, some jokes, some hugging and kissing and buddy days. But there was a lot of fucking suffering. Mentally, physically, emotionally, spiritually. The confusion, the bizarre things he'd do and say, the physical attacks. The moments of clarity which were like teasing us that he's back to himself only top disappear again for months.
And Death isn't easy. I was there for it. It looked hard for him. It was excruciating horror for me, and for my mom she handled it differently, maybe or her profession girded her better. Maybe it was my already fucked up psychological problems that made it so much more drastically worse for me, that and my deep closeness with my dad.
I wish I could find what Mandy Patinkin did in his scenes with the six fingered man, a short moment of catharsis. I'm still anguished about my dad's death. Granted its only been a year and 8 months for me, but it's there everyday, every second.

I’ve heard three separate podcasters and two YouTubers in the past week saying, “I miss special features from DVDs and Blu-Rays. You just don’t get that on streaming,” and I’m just like…
You know they still make those, right?
You… you can go back to buying them any time.

Streaming video is cool and all but sometimes I miss the brief window of DVDs with bonus features.

Mr.Martin Freeman and Mr.Adam Brown behind the scenes of An Unexpected Journey, during the thunder battle. Martin shifts because he’s uncomfortable and while trying to figure out what he’s sitting on, he falls over much to Adam’s amusement. Turns out, it was a huge prop rock, ouch! Lol!
Btw, yes, that’s my TV set.😅📺

🥜 The Zagnut 🥜
Tumblr media
The Zagnut has a relatively small following, but for fans of Beetlejuice, it’s a very recognizable candy! Written and directed by Tim Burton in 1988, this film has many memorable sequences, including the unique play on this traditional treat. What do you do when a fly is sitting on your grave and you just so happen to be hungry? Tempt it over with a Zagnut! Incredibly crunchy!
Tumblr media Tumblr media
D.L. Clark created the Zagnut in 1930 as a way of creating a peanut butter candy bar without any chocolate. Featuring toasted coconut and, of course, peanut butter, this was a popular candy among the masses in the Golden Age of radio. In the 1940s, it used to be given to WWII soldiers as part of their rations.
Tumblr media
It’s difficult to buy Zagnut anymore as they are becoming less and less common, but a few sites still sell them. Spirit Halloween has even brought back their Zagnut ashtray surrounding this iconic movie scene!
If there are any other unique objects, edibles, or spooky special features you’d like to know about in scary movies, let me know! “Asks” are always open!
