Julie Powell and Julia Child

1 May 2009

Julie Powell’s writing strikes me as overly breezy and self-absorbed. Plus, you may know how I feel about stunt books. So I haven’t any great interest in reading Julie and Julia. I’m eager to see the film adaptation though. Take a look:

I’ll forgive Streep’s performance in Mamma Mia for nothing more than the first sentence she speaks in this trailer.

    Yes, I found the Julie so insufferable, I couldn’t finish the book. But the movie looks promising. Mostly the Julia part.
