Julie & Julia!

My roommate Emily shared this trailer with me today... "Julie & Julia!" I AM SO EXCITED!




... and here's why:
  1. It's just happy.
  2. "What is the thing you really like to do?" "EAT!" "And you're SO good at it!"
  3. Meryl Streep and Stanley Tucci (reunited from "The Devil Wears Prada!") and Amy Adams (who continues to grow on me with every movie she makes, by the way).
  4. It's set in New York City.
  5. "Showtime bought my blog for a miniseries."
  6. Written and directed by Nora Ephron, the creator of my two favorite movies of all time, "When Harry Met Sally" and "You've Got Mail." (And a fellow purse-hater.)
  7. "You should have seen the way those men looked at me... but then they discovered I was fearless."
  8. It actually makes me want to cook...
  9. ... even though the sight of Amy Adams laying on the kitchen floor crying is how I feel every time I try.
  10. The movie is a true story that chronicles an adorable New York City girl who writes a blog that turns into a book that is made into a movie by Nora Ephron that changes her life. In other words, MY DREAM.

Right now I'm wishing I still lived in NYC so we could go see this together opening night.

I LOVED this book and I love to cook and I love Julia Child.
