I'm not a very big ‘movie buff”. Don't get me wrong, I do love a good movie, but we rarely go to the movie theater. We would rather spend three hours doing something outdoors instead of sitting in a dark theater. I really can't even sit at home long enough to watch a movie; there's just always too much other stuff that I'd rather be doing.
The last “grown up” movie that I saw at the theater was “Sex in The City, The Movie” with BigSis and SisMama last year. And on my recent visit to Chicago, I took the little guys to see “Up” in 3D.
In all reality, there aren't that many movies that I'm excited enough about to want to go see at the theater. I love romantic comedies and I'm a real sap for a happy endings. I'm not into vampires and I can't stand horror flicks or violent films so that pretty much rules out a lot of new movies.
When I first heard that Meryl Streep was playing Julia Child in the upcoming movie, Julie and Julia, I knew that I wanted to go see it at the theater when it opens on August 7th.
We grew up watching Julia Child and I love Meryl Streep, so I can't wait to see this film. I love the story about Julie and her commitment to cook daily from Julia Child's cookbook.
I just recently ordered Julie and Julia: 365 Days, 524 Recipes, 1 Tiny Apartment Kitchen so I could browse through the book before I see the movie.
I'm think that this movie is going to inspire me to cook something from Julia Child's cookbook. 🙂

i don’t go to the theater all that often myself, but i definitely want to see this one. finally, a movie about two things to which i can relate–cooking and blogging! and it looks like meryl streep does a fabulous julia child impression, which is no shocker.

Noble Pig – I know…I rarely get excited about a movie, but I can’t wait for this one.
Glenda – She did live an interesting life, but a spy? Hmmm?
Grace – I know!! Meryl Streep never ceases to amaze me with her ability to transform herself into someone else! She’s one of my favorites.
Cathy – That’s such a great idea! We did a huge girls night for the Sex & The City premiere, so I may try to get a group together for this one…Obviously not one that hubby or sons will care to go see.

I actually can’t think of the last grown up movie I went to the theater to see and I’m thinking the last movie I actually went to was taking the kids to see Chicken Little. I used to be a big movie buff. Just like you, now I don’t even have the patience to sit at home and watch a whole movie. There’s just too many other things to do!
And just like you, I CAN’T WAIT to see Julie/Julia!

Hi Katrina,
I know…I just cannot sit still for long, but this movie will be well worth the three hours or so! I CAN’T WAIT!
