Say hello to Peanut.My annoyed review of Julie and Julia
Chic flick - yes. Foodie flick - yes. Mellow, oh so mellow drama - yes. These blazing red flags should have kept me fifty feet from a theater. But. Everyone chirped about how delightful it was, and so funny, and ha ha ha ha - gag.
I know I must be an embarrassment to womanhood because, I DO NOT LIKE CHIC FLICKS. The women always seem to be needy or selfish female dogs.
My half a shop teachers thumb up for this flick is for the masterful Meryl Streep. I think if it cut Julie out completely, it might not have caused me to snore at the Sticky Shoe. I've NEVER fallen asleep at the theater. Before.
This should've been a great occasion, my husband and I were together - no kids, a movie that seemed like it would be non-threatening or make us squirm for embarrassing scenes of intimacy... Who knew both Julia and Julie were so... active?
Maybe if I was a foodie, I'd enjoy the creation of pig-gelatin, and brisket. But food and I have a love/hate relationship, and I look at food as a way to survive, not so much as a highlight. But for the love of Paul and Mary (Pete has enough love), there's a reason why the shows on the food network are only 30 minutes long.
Was the climax the break-up or the intense scene of overcoming the fear of de-boning a duck?
And as a writer myself, is getting published worth a near broken marriage? Does it have to be all-consuming and tragic? Isn't it about doing what you love and if an editor picks it up, great, if not, then at least I'm an expert on Joan of Arc?
Maybe the joy was that things worked out in the end, except that Julia didn't like Julie. I'm just wondering, do the ends justify the means?
For me, this movie gave me the same level of connection as Whale Rider. B.O.R.I.N.G.
Tip for writing: Don't be boring, and don't hurt your loved ones.
On the brighter side, I had a great day with my Ann, and my husband and children in Salt Lake City. Yay for vacation.

"Snappy" is a nice way of putting my tyrade.

Whenever evil befalls us, we ought to ask ourselves, after the first suffering, how we can turn it into good. So shall we take occasion, from one bitter root, to raise perhaps many flowers.

I don't believe in intuition. When you get sudden flashes of perception, it is just the brain working faster than usual. But you've been getting ready to know it for a long time, and when it comes, you feel you've known it always.

Here's to the crazy ones, the misfits, the rebels, the troublemakers, the round pegs in the square holes... the ones who see things differently -- they're not fond of rules... You can quote them, disagree with them, glorify or vilify them, but the only thing you can't do is ignore them because they change things... they push the human race forward, and while some may see them as the crazy ones, we see genius, because the ones who are crazy enough to think that they can change the world, are the ones who do.

America believes in education: the average professor earns more money in a year than a professional athlete earns in a whole week.

Under democracy one party always devotes its chief energies to trying to prove that the other party is unfit to rule - and both commonly succeed, and are right.

The toughest question has always been, "How do you get your ideas?" How do you answer that? It's like asking runners how they run, or singers how they sing. They just do it!

When we are unhurried and wise, we perceive that only great and worthy things have any permanent and absolute existence, that petty fears and petty pleasures are but the shadow of the reality.

There are two types of people--those who come into a room and say, 'Well, here I am!' and those who come in and say, 'Ah, there you are.'
