A place to talk about movies--old and new, good and bad, high art and high cheese. It's the place to place your kittens on the award winners, gossip about upcoming fims and discuss DVD releases and extras. Spoiler policy: White font all plot-related discussion until a movie's been in wide release two weeks, and keep the major HSQ in white font until two weeks after the video/DVD release.

Life moves pretty fast. You don't stop and look around once in a while, you could miss it.

I am sure this will get lost in all the HP5 excitemnt (which I completely share), but I wanted to say that I went to a screening of Julie & Julia last night. I expected to love meryl Streep and hate the film, since it was a Nora Ephron Joint.

OF COURSE I loved Streep, but I actually liked the film very much as well. The story is formulaic, but it's well cast and well-acted and so so so gorgeous. It was really nice to see a marriage portrayed onscreen which is loving passionate, respectful and fun.

Oh cool! I loved the book (and LOVE LOVE LOVE Julia Child) so I was hoping it would be good.

Yay for good Julie and Julia!! We have a Julia Child display near the register at the bookstore, and there were so many women looking at the books last Saturday. Every single one of them knew about the movie coming out and everyone was looking forward to it.

And then Ortus came and said "It's Ortin' time" and they all Orted off into the sunset

I haven't read the book, but I followed the blog from the beginning and am really looking forward to the movie (probably on DVD, since I'll be on vacation when it comes out).

Sir, it's not an offence to let your cat eat your bacon. Okay? And we don't arrest cats, I'm very sorry.

Every time I see the trailer the little bit of Meryl Streep as Julia we get to see makes me want to marry her.

Yes, I wanted to marry her about a million times during the film.

Beau will not see this movie with me under any conditions. If it were a movie with Meryl as Julia, he would be in, but he says, "I will not see a 'One Tree Hill' movie!" referring to certain actors of a certain demographic.
