Julie&Julia

Recently I saw Julie&Julia - a film targeted to women where a bored young woman with a dead-end job decides to follow a recipe book for a year. Nora Ephron. Say. No. More. Kill. Me. Now.
Maybe the film has more appeal for the American public, Julia being a household name there and all. It's just that the story was dull and there's a certain melancholic feeling that creeps through Ephron's films and it is choking. Honestly.
It is very strange that a woman would portray women in such a downgrading way. Women in Ephron’s films are insecure introverted underachievers who somehow always lack the ability to communicate in person. For example, Sleepless in Seattle: calling in on radio show. You’ve Got Mail: letters. Julie&Julia: blogging.
I expect the next Ephron film will feature a not-so-pretty young woman finding the love of her life on Twitter.
