The Julie/Julia Project

Has anyone seen this movie yet? Just caught it on DVD.

First of all, does anyone know whether Julia Child (played by Meryl Streep) actually talk like that? Julia must be a tall lady too, noticed that she had to make more effort bending down or either that the tables/counters were unusually lower - hm, wonder if she got any backaches? *erm,no wonder - just found out she was 6.2 ft, read more here*

The movie is about food and blogging. Its not an oscar winning movie but if you like these two subjects, you'll probably enjoy it.

Doing a google search, I found a lot of comments surrounding this movie and also Julie Powell, who was formerly a blogger turned writer. Not going to bother to over-analyse both.

coffeesncookies, pls do let us know how you go. am sure it will not be as dramatic ;) I like how Meryl gets so thrilled and delighted with b-u-t-t-e-r!! "You are the butter to my bread, the breadth of my life".
