I was utterly and thoroughly bored. Seriously, I have no idea why that was made into a movie. There was no point to it. The chick made a blog that 50's of people commented on and she got a book deal out of it. Not that interesting.

In other words, I thought Meryl Streep was great in it. They couldn't have picked a better Julia Child.What's to explain?

I agree there. She did a fantastic job. That said, I still saw no point to the making of that movie.Originally posted by marsupial View PostComment

Thanks for the heads up, though it's not like I would have ever watched it anyway.Originally posted by LiveCoug View Post"Socialism is a philosophy of failure, the creed of ignorance and the gospel of envy; its inherent virtue is the equal sharing of misery." - Winston Churchill

My wife and mother in law saw it. My wife was bored out of her mind and MIL fell asleep in the theatre.Comment

I would rather admit to crying at football games than admit to watching this movie.Just try it once. One beer or one cigarette or one porno movie won't hurt. - Dallin H. OaksComment

I will buy it.Comment

I liked it, but I love Julia. It was a bit longer than it needed to be, but whatever.So Russell...what do you love about music? To begin with, everything.Comment

Really? I just don't understand. There was nothing compelling about the story. If Hollywood is going to make a movie based on a true story, then at least have it be interesting. The girl makes a blog and gets a book deal. That's not a story to me. The Blindside, on the other hand, that's a good real life story. It had the fact is stranger than fiction aspect and was something that really made you think. J & J had nothing.Originally posted by The_Tick View PostComment

I watched it on my drive back from Utah yesterday. I liked it. Wasn't my favorite movie of the year, but I enjoyed it.A man who views the world the same at fifty as he did at twenty has wasted thirty years of his life. - Mohammad AliComment

I liked the movie a lot, although I liked the Julia parts more than than the Julie parts. I especially enjoyed the relationship of Julia and her husband, but Meryl Streep and Stanley Tucci are always going to be good. And Jane Lynch (playing Julia's weird sister) is one of the funniest actresses around. She was the lesbian dog trainer in Best of Show and is in Glee (not that I'd ever watch that).Comment

Yes, the Julia part was much more interesting, I will agree with that. I'm obviously in the minority because the movie did get rave reviews. Maybe I will start a blog that 50+ strangers will read and I can get a book/movie deal too!Comment
