"To work with Meryl Streep is a dream come true for anyone. To know her is an honor. She is such a beautiful person and it was intimidating, certainly, to be in these scenes with her. Choking her, and things like that, were not how I pictured it going in my mind all these years. I thought we'd be together, having tea and speaking in fabulous accents all dressed up. But there we were... I'm sweating and have on a big butt pad. So that's not how it was in my dream."

which had its first public screening in Toronto last night (via)

Jason I can't/don't remember - do you like Julia? I know you loooove My Best Friend's Wedding (is there any other choice) but otherwise, where are you on her?
Generally I'm pro, although she can sometimes be a little tedious in the real world. I have had moments where I've found her really annoying, especially over the past few years. I thought she was great in Erin Brockevich but SHE HAD NO RIGHT TAKING ELLEN BURSTYN'S OSCAR AWAY FROM HER. Ahem.
But I have seen Pretty Woman more times than it's sane for any human being to see one thing, and can quote it from end to end, probably without even needing the movie in front of me. (WELL COLOR ME HAPPY THERE'S A SOFA IN HERE FOR TWO.) And beyond that - My Best Friend's Wedding, Steel Magnolias (BLUSH AND BASHFUL), Sleeping With the Enemy (The hand towels!), Notting Hill... I am quite capable of loving her.
