Gobbled down some natural sleeping pills last night and for once got a decent slumber. I feel better for once.
Watching Julie & Julia w/ Amy Adams & one of my all time fav actresses, the heavenly Meryl Streep, love seeing her, period. I thought this would be a stupid bubble headed boredom of 2hr nauseating female bonding over boiled water. I got schooled by both delightful ladies. The love these women have for their husbands and discovering life tasks. Again, bravo to Stanley Tucci for his provincial yet omnipresent performance, perfect balance of the man behind the woman. Always the thoughtful, gracious actor.
Just read the opinion of Ms. Childs' on Powell's blog, she hated it. Bit of a disappointment, but I still like the movie and the producers/creators of the movie did a magnificent job of splicing J. Child's auto w/ Powell's blog. A confidant of Ms. Childs fears a movie could be depressed or trivialized by this exhuberant presentation. I so strongly disagree, it has introduced a culinary giant to a new generation of gastric enthusiasts. The timing is quintessential w/ the revival of @ home entertainment in America and a fleet of fast food addicts returning to the kitchen.
I look forward to a bold, respectful tribute to this queen of cuisine who's voice enthralled me as a child.
