I SO want to go see Julie & Julia, but noone has been able to go with me...so I haven't gone. And I keep telling myself : what's the big deal! Just go by yourself! But I just can't...maybe not just yet I guess, because the movie theater is RIGHT next to my house and JOhn and I used to go a lot...Anyways, enough rambling :)Anaishttps://www.blogger.com/profile/06224896416031363566noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1131924142966006519.post-11298546341062692712009-08-20T16:53:21.334-05:002009-08-20T16:53:21.334-05:00I actually almost prefer going to movies by myself...I actually almost prefer going to movies by myself. I'm weird likethat. But especially as a single gal, I went all the time because a) it was semi cheap entertainment and no one can tell who the girl is sitting by herself and b) it's nice to just go see whatever movie you want whenever you want, with no debating!<br /><br />So, I really want to read the book first, but I'm afraid it won't be in theaters still. Should I go see the movie anyway or read the book first?Lauren @ Sassy Molassyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/09386991766331711286noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1131924142966006519.post-51737586830120734392009-08-20T07:58:20.075-05:002009-08-20T07:58:20.075-05:00My sister and I are seeing J&J this weekend. W...My sister and I are seeing J&J this weekend. We read the book last year and LOVED it, so we've been anxiously awaiting the film.<br /><br />And I love seeing movies alone. At our theatre, you push a button on the arm of your seat and a waitress takes your food/drink order, which she'll bring back while you watch the show. It's QUITE the indulgence!Erinhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/04090085074817685100noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1131924142966006519.post-29685796325142105772009-08-19T17:55:56.972-05:002009-08-19T17:55:56.972-05:00I have a girlfriend (a super foodie)who just threw...I have a girlfriend (a super foodie)who just threw a "Julie/Julia" French potluck. During her soiree, they all went to see the movie. Everyone brought dishes from Julia's cookbook (or bottles of French wine & champagne) and apparently everything was superb! I haven't read the book nor have I seen the movie, but I plan on doing both.<br /><br />And yes, in the past, I went to many movies by myself. I specifically recall laughing hysterically at "A Fish Called Wanda"...and getting some curious looks. Ha ha! Now, with a houseful of kids, I generally watch G rated movies and usually on video.<br /><br />I, too, aspire to write a book someday. I'll read yours if you read mine! ;)Mama Nastasehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/01286115738845024241noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1131924142966006519.post-13144137273042168742009-08-19T15:10:59.230-05:002009-08-19T15:10:59.230-05:00Well obviously Angelina Jolie would play me... kid...Well obviously Angelina Jolie would play me... kidding.<br /><br />Two of my friends insist that I look like Amanda Peet (I wish) and two people recently told me that I look like Sandra Bullock (I wish too) so maybe one of them. Perhaps I should go with Amanda Peet though, because she's Jewish so she'll have the nice Jewish girl thing down.<br /><br />I've been to many movies by myself. I mean you can't talk in a theater so what's the difference?Little Fishhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/18310802293907380823noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1131924142966006519.post-71153556584219872192009-08-19T13:55:55.275-05:002009-08-19T13:55:55.275-05:00I'm going to see that this afternoon and I'...I'm going to see that this afternoon and I'm dragging my friend along, haha! She thought it looked silly but agreed to go with me anyways! I also am on the waitlist for the book at the library! I'm really excited to see the movie. <br /><br />I don't ever go to movies alone because I usually drag Eric along or invite a friend. I don't think I'd have a problem going alone if there was no-one to go with, though. Eric LOVES going to the movies so it's usually not hard to convince him to go, although I didn't even TRY asking him to go see Julie & Julia with me after dragging him to the Time Traveler's Wife last weekend!<br /><br />That is seriously a really hard question. I have NO idea who would play me in a movie... I will have to think on that one and get back to you!

One of my co-workers saw it too and said it was so good! <br /><br />Hmmm....who would play me?Actually Amy Adams or Rachel McAdams would be my choices! They don't really look anything like me, but I love them as actresses. I'm totally going to be thinking about this all day.Beckyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/10497016301321352544noreply@blogger.com
