Just saw a couple clips tonight on one of those TV Hollywood-gossip shows of Meryl Streep playing Julia Child in the movie that’s due to come out in August. Man- I was SHOCKED. I mean I always knew Streep was fantastic, BUT, she looked/sounded exactly like Ms. Julia- it was almost spooky! I can hardly wait for ‘Julie & Julia’ to come out!
Dan Akroyd from Saturday Night Live played the best Julia. There was one skit where cutting up a chicken was involved. A cut to the hand with blood flying out in streams, the show had to go on. It was the best ever. I have to see if it's on utube and post it here.
I'm not familar with Julia Child's recipes.
I'm not that into french cooking.

I'm not particularly fan of Meryl Streep. I think in most of her roles she's just played Meryl Streep. So when I first heard about this film I thought, "oh, yeah. More Hollywood hoopla."
Then I saw a promo. Omigod! Close your eyes and it's Miss Julia you're hearing. And the make-up ain't too bad either.
Janie: Julia Child wasn't about French food. She was about not being intimidated by cooking. She was about the simple fact that food should be fun. She was about bringing some love into the kitchen.
A summary of her life as a cook can be made by one of her great lines: You can always eat your mistakes!
