A Scene From Hannibal

SPOILER ALERT: I'll be giving away a major scene from Hannibal, not that it matters.  The movie's like eight years old and from what I've heard, not that good.  

My wife and I were watching TV and while flipping channels, she stopped on a movie that she recognized as Hannibal.  I haven't seen it, but she has.  She said, "It's the scene where he eats Ray Lolita's brain."
"Did you just say Ray Lolita?"
"Yeah.  What?"
"It's Ray Liotta."

We tried to figure out if it was some sort of Freudian slip, but couldn't really come up with any explanation.  That'd be a good prank to play on him though.  Like a reporter is on the red carpet somewhere and gets an interview with him and introduces him to the camera as "Ray Lolita".
