Today is my me day.
I have been told by multitudes of friends :
"You blog, don't you? You REALLY have to see this movie!"
Well, whilst I may blog, I sure as hell ain't no cook! So, it is with trepidition I sat down to watch this DVD. I comfort-padded with a plate of crispy bacon and buttery toast, and a copy of this week's TV Week just in case this, as I suspected, really wasn't my thing.
After a slow start (why in hell would you put yourself through the Cobb Salad lunches with that bunch of cows, old friends or not old friends), I began to enjoy. Especially the little temper tanty meltdowns - right up my alley!
-The Julia french scenes captured my imagination, and I sank into the couch, glass of coke in hand (philistine that I am) to laugh, cry and simply Julie/Julia experience.
Slowly, my allegiance began to slide a little more to Julie and a little less to Julia until an even balance surfaced. And I then understood why this blog became a book which became a movie.
Oh, and I will make a little confession. It has not finished yet. I paused the movie and went in and stole my laptop. So I am sitting here blogging whilst watching a movie about blogging.

So I am gathering that it is worth a look? It looked a bit boring when I saw the sorts at the movies. But on your recommendation I will go and get a copy and have a look. Crispy bacon, buttery toast and coke -can't get that at the movies - are you in your comfy hang around the house clothes too? Have a great afternoon. Hugs from Perth xxx
So glad you ended up enjoying it. I'd read the book after hearing a lot about it, and loved it. And, obviously, I enjoyed the whole Julia Child french-stuff. I'm thinking I need to revisit it on DVD...
I so want to see this movie - I've had the DVD for ages but haven't had time to watch it. Can't wait to hear your verdict!
You've inspired me to watch it tonight.
oh, haven't heard of it (yes i do live in a box) but could be worth a look.
I can't wait to see this. I don't think it's out on dvd here in NZ yet, but I'm gonna be getting it the day it comes out.
Liked it, but the ending was a bit *meh*. Ended with a whimper, not a bang...
Loved that movie too. I hear that Julie's now a butcher and her new book was called "Cleave". No, I'm not joking...
So glad you watched it. I loved it too! The book's great. You can view some of her blog as well online. It's called something like the Julie Julia project?? Pretty different to the movie. Lots of swearing:)
Thanks for the rewind:)
I TOTALLY blame this movie! http://leafjournals.com/topic/blog/story-starter-challenge
Keep up the good work! (From the Fibro)
Love it. I enjoyed the film. I confess the Julie character drove me a little nuts... but it all worked out in the end.
Thanks for Rewinding at the Fibro.
