Meryl Streep and Amy Adams Discuss Blogging

Julie & Julia (opens August 7), starring Amy Adams and Meryl Streep, is partly about pioneer blogger Julie Powell (played by Amy) who records her attempts at mastering the recipes of Julia Child (played by Meryl). So naturally, the talented actresses discuss blogging with USA Today:

"I'm too self-conscious about my writing [to blog]," Amy says. "It would take me a day to come up with anything that was suitable for anyone to read. Then I would go back, read it again to readjust, and then I would go back again."

She adds, "I can't even keep a journal. I've never read anything that I've said and thought, 'That was really worth saying. I'm so glad that that is out in public and I've shared that piece of myself with humanity.'"

An amused Meryl, of course, retorts, "I have read things I've said from 20 years ago and thought, 'That's (bleeping) great. Where did I get that idea from?'"

But that doesn't mean she's going to start blogging. "I can't even get to correspond with the people I love — and then to broadcast to the people I don't even know?"

We can't wait to see this movie. Food, Amy Adams, and Meryl Streep? And more food? Yes please.
