and speaking of movies, some friends and i decided to make good on our professed love for 2Pz fave meryl streep by getting acquainted with some of her older work. so on sunday, we planned a meryl-thon (i tried to make 'daylight STREEPing time' stick, but it just didn't). on the bill:
the deer hunter
this movie was a bit of a chore (especially the first hour), with disproportionate amount of meryl on-screen time, but once it got going it was pretty great. robert de niro was a looker back then, and christopher walken is in it, too! i'm hosting a russian roulette tournament at my house soon. let me know if you want to come! anyway, 7 or 8 biscuits.
sophie's choice
this movie takes place in 1940s brooklyn. meryl is a polish immigrant with crazy secrets. that's all i'm going to tell you. it's one of those 'surprise ending' movies. what's important is that meryl is just amazing in it. kevin kline is really good too. and he's my initials twin. DEF watch this if you haven't already. 11 biscuits!!!!!
doubt
after roughly 6 hours of movies, we just couldn't do it. i've seen this movie, and i gave it 11 biscuits. a meryl classic. lilly, did you watch yet?
we're already planning meryl-thon 2, which will most likely include some lighter choices:
out of africa
silkwood
the devil wears prada
i'll keep you posted.
what is your favorite meryl performance?
