LCB @ The Movies
Julie and Julia at The Terrace
Come to the LCB Movie Meetup Night at The Terrace on Friday, August 7, 2009 at 7:30 pm to see Julie and Julia.
From Wikipedia…
Julie & Julia is an upcoming 2009 comedy-drama film, written and directed by Nora Ephron. The film depicts events in the life of famed chef Julia Child, contrasting her life with Julie Powell, a woman who aspires to cook all 524 recipes from Child’s autobiography.
Ephron’s screenplay is adapted from two books: My Life in France, Child’s autobiography, written with Alex Prud’homme, and a memoir by Julie Powell. In August 2002, Powell started documenting online her daily experiences cooking each of the 524 recipes in Child’s Mastering the Art of French Cooking, and she later began reworking that blog, The Julie/Julia Project, into a book, Julie & Julia: 365 Days, 524 Recipes, 1 Tiny Apartment Kitchen (Little, Brown, 2005). The paperback was retitled Julie & Julia: My Year of Cooking Dangerously (Back Bay Books, 2006). Both books adapted by Ephron were written and published in the same time frame of 2004 to 2006.
Ephron began filming Julie & Julia in March 2008. In the first major motion picture based on a blog[citation needed], Meryl Streep portrays Julia Child, and Amy Adams appears as Julie Powell. The film officially premiered on July 30, 2009 at the Ziegfeld Theatre in New York City and is scheduled to be released throughout North America on August 7, 2009. [2]
A movie about a blogger, a legend, and food! Should make for a fun meetup.
Vera Thomas Hannaford chronicles her knitting and crocheting (but never cooking) in Vera’s Crafty Blog. Her husband, Patrick, consults Child’s masterpiece Mastering the Art of French Cooking quite a bit, so while watching the movie, she plans to look for recipes for him to make.

Oh, I had just arranged for an afternoon movie treat for my volunteers! We are going to wait until later when it won’t be quite so packed.
