Julie & Julia, My Opinion Friday, May 21, 2010 at 6:31 AM

Julie & Julia
The movie
My husband and I bought and watched the movie, "Julie & Julia". We love Julia Child, she was a blast to watch and we hoped the movie would highlight more of her intersting life than it did.

Julie Powell's Blog
I went to her blog, "The Julie/Julia Project", this morning to leave a praise comment but she had deleted all of her post with the exception of Julia's death and how she felt about it. I Googled her and found her new blog here at blogger and read just a little bit to find she's foul mouthed and futher Googled to find she's an athiest. I was very disappointed. I can see why Julia Child was a bit offset with Julie Powell's blog.

Julie Powell's engaging, here and now writing style is fun and easy to attach to but her foul-filthy mouth turns my stomach.
