They don't make 'em like Julia Child anymore. She was such a wonderful character! When my parents still lived in New England, they'd run into her every now and then at Bread & Circus in Cambridge. Once when it was raining Julia walked out of the grocery with a bag over her head. She was nothing if not practical and totally down to earth and approachable. The movie looks pretty good!

I'm excited too. I'm sure Meryl Streep will give us another perfect performance and will not disappoint! Who better than Meryl except maybe Dan Aykroyd. ;-)

Meryl Streep even looks a little like Julia Child.
Saturday Night Live was hilarious back then. If you watch Dan Ackroyd closely his shoulders are doing the same thing in the "Two Wild and Crazy Guys" sketch.

I am very excited too! The previews look funn and it's an interesting idea. Haven't read the book it is based on yet.

30-A television is doing a premiere at the Rave Sunday afternoon. Cooking demonstration w/ 3 local chefs.

She really was a cool lady. I got to meet her once when I was about 10 at a pledge drive in Tallahassee.

I can't wait to see the movie because

this book is one of the flat out funniest books I've ever read in my life.
I LITERALLY fell out of my chair laughing (because I was wetting myself and didn't want to have to clean the upholstery!)

I heard it's a chick flick. Did Mrs. Kurt make you take her to see it, or am I misinformed?:idontno:

I am definitely anxious to see it ... when it comes out on DVD. ;-) I love Meryl Streep.

Gee... I hope it's not a chick flick. If it's based on the book it should appeal to anyone who likes to eat, cook, drink, and laugh.

I absolutely adore Meryl Streep. this role sounds perfect for her. I haven't read the book though.. and in some cases, such as this one, I would rather watch the movie without knowing the story ahead of time.

Meryl Streep tends to annoy me, but so far I am really liking all of the promos I've seen for this movie.

Can't wait - going to see it Sunday! :wave:

I think M. Streep is one of the best actors of our time. Every film she is in, I completely forget that it's her. There are very few actors who can do that.

Streep - she is the real deal. they don't make 'em like that anymore. :wave: she's beautiful inside and out, has the right attitude, is very human, has an impressive acting career spanning many years, and appears to have balance in her life - at least from all I've ever seen/read about her.

I loved this film!!!! Great movie, very funn - Stanley Tucci rocks and it's the first time I LIKED Meryl Streep in a movie! (Yes, I HAVE missed the biggies like Sophie's and Kraemer, but usually she really annoys me).

She was amazing in Sophie's Choice. Even in that "Dingo Ate your baby" movie, she was great! :lol:


Oh! And Silkwood!

That would be Out of Africa for me.

She is being interviewed regarding a new movie with Alec Baldwin and Steve Martin. Sounds funn, but she needs to call 911 regarding her hair.:eek:

omc, meryl streep in Devil Wears Prada made me think she was really the biotch from the deepest depths of hail! she's the best, I don't care which movie it is. I loved her in it... Mama Mia.... Prairie Home Companion.. Bridges of Madison County... and many that I've forgotten or have never seen. quite an amazing career.
