BONNNNNNNNNJOOOOOOUUUUUUUUUUUUURRRRRRRRR and HELLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO IM JULIA CHILDSSSSSS!!!!.. and IM HEEEEEEEEEEEEERE TO TEAAAAAAAAACH YOU about FREEEEEEEEEEENCH COOOOKING!!!-Nah nah.... im not tryna learn alla that.... just make me some chicken and brown rice
VERRRRRRRRRRRRRY WELLLLL MY DEEEEEAAAAAAAAAAAAR!!!!!!! HEEEERE YOU AAAAAAAAREEE!!!!!
(someone must be having a " splitting headache"- yeah your a regular carrot top; what time will dinnner be ready? )
anyways...she's just really cool; and fun to watch: I tell you this though... dont WATCH that movie on an empty stomach or even CLOSE to it.
Its also really interesting i've never really looked at cooking as .... a " hustle" .. or as an art. but I mean... the way J-Childs was doin it... she was GRINDING!!!... and when she wasn't doing it?: ....the way she was talking about it was TIGHT!!!!...?.. I dont know...i mean.. i dont really care about cooking?.. but I respect ANYONE whos got passion about what they do; and can talk about it on the highest level. EItherway LOVE the Julia Childs Character and Kudos to Meryl Streep who never comes sideways in a role! ( a BUTTERED ROLE THAT IS!!! AHHHH)*shut up*
(I'd let her "Meryl MY STREAP" YOU KNOW!!!.. YOU KNOW WHAT IM SAYIN!!.. YOU KNOW!!!!.... you dont know...)
as for Amy McAdams or whatever? i dont know.. i mean she was cute... but too cute... like in that other movie where she's a cartoon that comes to new york?... like almost clue-less cute?... and a bit annnoying... ( this generations meg ryan) if you will... (oh no i burned the goose dearest me cooking is so hard)..... * yawn*
But its really interesting... the idea that like.. if you do the same things as anothe person; commit the same actions as another person ; in the same or similar order as that other person; you really get a sense of who that other person is, or was; and in some unique circumstances you feel like tht other person is watching you; or is at least with you in spirit, because if YOUR baking some difficult cake now: the person who originally baked it may have come across the sames issues and concerns that YOU'RE having; so your on a similar train of thought; and dealing with it the same way?..........*i take cake baking VERY SERIOUSLY*
(MMMmmm... Transmission Delicious-ness!)
For Ex: they talk about Will Smith and how he did that movie "Ali" the Muhammad Ali story; and he trained the Cashes Clay way; doing all the things he did; the samae work out going to the same places; putting down George Foreman; living a very similar life style alla that.... and he said one day he woke up; and he just FELT like Ali; the swagger; the trash talk; the man; and it REALLY showed in his portrayl in the film.
Also not to go REAL extreme on anyone: but Islamically we're all supposed to go to Hajj; and I think thats also designed in a sense to give you a higher understanding of what life is really all about; and put you in a proper mind set of people who lived thousands of years ago. And you can sort of channel they're spirit and way of thinking by engaging in similar actions that they've done. Same with the actions of Namaz; and the movments it entails.
I dont know i guess just the idea; of phsyical actions forcing you into a desired mindset; it just a real interesting concept to me.
In the movie you get a loose sense of that; the sturggles that both of them go through with there goals. But i think the film would have had a tighter plot and a more focused sense of story telling if they mirrored one anothers lives better. There were only a few times when Julie and Julia were REALLLY on the same page; but for the most part... it was kinda all over the place?
The Baisc premise is like.... Julia leads the way forging through un charted territory; being the first women French Cooking.. ehh.... master; while Julie... umm...... sort of .... just follows Julias Recipes?
(I'd eat THAAAAAT with a SPOOOON you know!!! YOU KNOWWW .. YOU KNOWWW WHA TIM SAYIN!!!... wait.... nevermind)
Im not gonna lie to you.... cooking a bunch of shit outta a cook book? and then blogging about it?... How the F*ck is that like... an accomplishment?!..... the recipes are THERE; blogging is NOT hard ( trust me) where is the skill or entertainmen value in that?!.... but she got like... 50X more fans and comments than I most likely ever well!!.. GO TO HELL JULIA!!!
..... any-who; ahh the MOVIE it self!... well if your a " foodie" then you HAVE to see it; no questions asked; sometimes they'll do a movie " about" a particular craft; or concept but they'll focus on all the people and characters invovled in the " world" around that industry or whatever? but no focus on the basic idea of it at all?
(Julia Childs; the Non-Meryl Streap Version)
but THIS movie goes hard.. they talk about cooking intelligently and with the detail and interest that I think a true "Foodie" would REALLY enjoy!
It also works on the level where you know you see someone with just the spirit to suceed and they go out with nothing but a real positive attitude and a sense of purpose ( even if it is cooking) and they accomplish what they set out to dow with hard work and dedication!
(Julia Childs; Dan Akroyd Version)
Otherwise.. say goodbye to mainstream movie box office success; but i guess the film wanted to stay true to what ACTUALLY Happened *lame* as opposed to what i actually WANTED to happen!... (killer robots from the earths core come to its surface and enslave humanity as punishment for not treating technology with the respect it deserves)...but whatever.
Last comment? the movie was 2 positive usually i like to see things go bad?.. right?... then the plots finds is way and things go well.... THen something cataclysmic ( however you spell it) happens mid movie; and the main character(s) has to over come that which brings you to the climax followed by happiness aaaaaaaaaaaaaand fin (right?)
of COURSE im right..
(Julie and Julia by Zia Ahmad)
but in this flick the Catastrphoic mid movie event... reaaaaaaaaaaaally isn't that bad... so its kinda difficult to really feel bad for their " slumps" *ecspeically Julie* but thats just a minor comment on an otherwise descently directed movie.
In the end its definatley a cool " true story" a cool " under dog" story; a GREAT job as usual by miss Streep; but I tell you like i tell everyone else; if you dont have a solid story; and if your story dont end well; it kinda kills everything leading up to it.
and thats why i gotta give this movie 3 french receipes outta 5
