Three Thoughts on "Julie and Julia" (Which I Liked Quite a Bit)

- It's a bit hard to get used to Meryl Streep being a foot taller than usual.

- Julie Powell was a blogger in New York in 2002. How come I never knew her? There weren't that many of us back then, and we all used to congregate at those "Blogger Bashes." Julie's invitation must've gotten lost in the mail, or maybe she was too busy cooking.

- Ponying up for the rights to the Dan Aykroyd/Julia Child SNL bit was the smartest cinematic decision Nora Ephron has made since about 1989.

I think I might actually like to see this movie.
