Crap, I thought that guy looked familiar.

Jay Baruchel was in Undeclared, the almost-good sitcom follow-up to Freaks and Geeks.

How old is he supposed to be in this movie? He was playing a college freshman in 2001, and he's actually 27 right now, but the trailer made it look like they were trying to pass him off as 17....

"Julie and Julia" - awful except for Stanley Tucci. Meryl Streep did Julia Child as the lumbering village idiot, the spotless sunshine of Julia Child. Amy Adams did not have a lot to work with to make her character likeable or even interesting. Tucci's performance was nuanced, interesting, believeable.

And then there's the film's weird veneration of Julia Child. She did not originate these recipes. She was an excellent cooking teacher. The whole shebang was so Nora Ephron pre-fab you could hear her in the background: I did people finding each other via call-in radio. I did people finding each other via internet chat. Now I'll do people finding themselves via a blog.

Ick, ick, ick. Except for you, Stanley Tucci. You can stay.
