I am one of those people that has a problem paying full price for a movie ticket when I know I can see the same movie for a dollar in a few short months. Are you one of these people too? I think part of it is that most movies out these days just don't excite me.
All that changes August 7th. That's the day that Julia & Julia comes out in theaters. I am so excited about this movie! I can't decide what has me captivated more. Is it that it is a movie with roots in cooking? Is it that one of my all time favorite actresses, Meryl Streep, is in it? Is it that a blogger has her blog up on the big screen? For me it is all that and more!
To be honest, I am most excited about learning more about Julia Child. The trailer shows glimpses into her personal life and from what I have heard, Julia was a character.
It seems to me that it has been awhile since a good "chick flick" has been out. I shudder to think of the men across America that are living in dread at this very moment because they know they will have 2 hours of chick flick coming their way in August. Suck it up boys; football is right around the corner! My own sweet husband has mentioned that he can't wait to take me to the movie. What a sweetie!
So, come this August I will be shelling out some gosh awful sum of money to see a movie at the -gasp- movie theater! I am sure I will sneak snacks and bottled water into the movie my over sized purse.
So, are you going to go see the movie? Will you wait until it comes out on DVD? Julia's birthday is August 15th. I think I will celebrate that day by making something out of her Mastering the Art of French Cooking cookbook. How awesome to have the movie premiere one week before her birthday.
And with that I will just say, in honor of Julia, Bon Appetit!
That sounds like a very interesting movie to watch. I will be on a lookout for it....Christine
ReplyDeleteI am eagerly awaiting the movie as well!
ReplyDeleteMeryl Streep! What a great look alike. I'm with you, a Julia fan all the way. Good idea to celebrate her birthday with one of her recipes. I think I'm going to go look through one of her cookbooks that I have and do the same thing!
ReplyDeleteOh yes, I have already decided to see the movie as soon as possible and to post one of Julia's recipes on my blog on Aug. 15th. She changed my life. My dream is to take cooking classes at her Provincal La Pitchoune cottage someday.
ReplyDeleteI can't wait for that movie to come out either. I guess I';l wind up going alone, i know my husband and girls won't be interested - lol! Glad you're back! I missed you.
ReplyDeleteOH yes, I am one that waits!!! Not sure if I'll wait or not on this one...but I'm sure it will be a fun!!! Nancy
ReplyDeleteI am excited about this movie too. I just learned of it's existance about 3 days ago! Not sure if I'll see it in the theater or not. My hubby is quite the poor sport. It's more about the money spent on a movie he does not want to see than about having to sit through a movie he does not want to see.
ReplyDeleteWho is the handbag designer for the purse Julie was wearing in the movie?????
ReplyDeleteI went to see the movie with my daughter and it was wonderful! I hope you enjoyed it as well!
