Respect, but . . .
by CarolineToday’s random snipe comes via Maureen Dowd’s email interview with Nora Ephron:
Q: Do you consider any food a romantic deal-breaker?
A: I respect vegetarians, but I could never fall in love with one.
I couldn’t get through Julie and Julia, the memoir upon which Ephron’s new movie is based, because Julie Powell’s writing style is too convinced of its own cleverness. I’d also love to find anyone who got through Ephron’s recent adaptation of Bewitched. Maureen Dowd is some kind of helium bobblehead and her failure to ask any interesting questions doesn’t surprise anyone, but as with most email interviews I find this too mediated-feeling and composed.
