Julie Powell's First Reactions to 'Julie and Julia' Movie
Last night, Julie Powell watched a "rough" cut of Julie and Julia, the movie (where Ed makes a tiny cameo!) inspired by Powell's 365-day and 524-recipe blog project. "I see my name in magazines in very close proximity to names like 'Meryl' and 'Nora' and take it in stride. But somehow seeing yourself—or a Rom-Com-ed, slimmed-down, considerably less foul-mouthed version of yourself—on a movie screen is a whole different thing."

I picked up the book in the bargain bin at Joseph Beth. It was O.K., but just O.K. I can't imagine the movie will be compelling. Will definitely wait until it is free On Demand.

I checked out the book from the library - and laughed my (ahem) off for so much of it. Either Julie is totally insane - or she is just slightly obsessive about French cooking.
I'm looking forward to the move! The visuals she paints in the book are so great! Hearing her voice on her blog was exactly how I perceived her! I can't wait.

Find "My Life in France" by Julia and her nephew. That is a great book. I will go see this movie though I wish it were just the "Julia" part of the story.
