The Movie Thread

[RGMike]

Saw I Love You, Man! last nite -- just hilarious, Paul Rudd is wonderful and the whole gay-subtext thing is priceless. Not to spoil too much but Rudd's character, who is this wimpy metrosexual straight guy, has a gay brother (SNL's Andy Samberg) who is butcher than he is (he's a personal trainer and a total meathead fratboy type).  *AND* -- DUUUUUUUUUUDE! -- a cameo appearance by Rush! Highly recommended.

I'm curious--in what film does she play Julia? Never thought about it, but JC would make an interesting biopic subject, since before becoming a food icon, she was a counterintelligence operative during WWII. Really.

it's not a biopic, per se, it's called Julie & Julia, based on Julie Powell's book about the year she quit her job and devoted herself to cooking every. single. recipe in Child's book Mastering the Art of French Cooking (Amy Adams plays Powell). Not clear whether she actually met Child, or if Julia is seen in flashbacks.

I just want to see her weeping tears of joy at Tu Lan at 6th and Mission.

Are they still there? That place milked Julia's recco for all it was worth, even though it was pretty filthy the last couple times I was in there. Loved their imperial rolls and pan fried noodles though. Lots of Warfield staff ate their regularly, since they're right across the street. Also Cancun, for the same reason.

I ate there when I visited in December.  The place is a hole, as is the whole block, but it's really got the best bun cha I've had in my life.  I try to stop by every time I'm in town.

No kidding about that 'hood--it's quite literally one of the worst blocks in SF. I always kept one hand on my wallet whenever I went over there, and tried to make sure I got in and out before dark if possible. But the food is great.

(Have to wonder if that place could have been a lot more successful if they'd just move to a better location. I can't imagine what sort of daily weirdness they have to deal with just to do business.)

The one out on Balboa, a few blocks from the Balboa theater, yes? Also a great place.
