(1) If your friends suck, then just stop talking to them. End of story. Julie honestly had the bitchiest friends ever, besides one. And I think she should have stuck to her only.
(2) A positive attitude turns EVERYTHING around. Really. Julia Child had the most amazing attitude toward life. So it's no wonder she pretty much won at it.
(3) One person's trash is another's treasure. Well, not trash. Basically, I was in Washington DC a month ago, and I was at the American history building of the Smithsonian. One of the many, many exhibits there was Julia Child's Cambridge kitchen, and I kind of just walked on by, because I'd seen a lot of the museum already and didn't really think it was important. But in the movie, Julie goes specifically to the Smithsonian (she lived in New York) to see the kitchen exhibit. And you see her staring at it in such wonder, and she leaves butter there, and all that stuff. And it just made me think how I kind of walked by this exhibit, and here Julie Powell was in awe of it. How I could have disregarded something that was so special to another. Kind of like how my mom treats the Grammy museum.
I suggest you go see it, if you're female. Hell, if you're male, too. You'll learn good lessons in marriage from that one, that's for sure. Unless you're a commitment-phobe/douchebag. Then you'd probably hate it.
But yeah.
I like learning things. =)
