About

I was watching the movie Julie/Julia  and started to cry.  I had seen the film nearly a hundred times by this point, and always felt as if I would find an answer within it.
It seems that night I did.   What I was missing in my life was what I was seeing on the screen.

It was the scene where they were sitting around with friends, enjoying a great meal, great wine and great conversation.
This is what I wanted.

I had started a book club a few years ago, with hopes of creating this type of atmosphere, but it just did not seem to grow the way I had hoped.
The scene in the film made me think of all the times in my life I had been truly happy.  In high school, college, and when I first moved out on my own.  The common factor had been late night dinners with my friends/co-workers after we'd seen a movie.
Sometimes we did pot-luck, sometimes I did all the cooking and sometimes we just headed to the coffee shop.

So at first I thought I would create a food club.  A Gastronomic Group. But that didn't work out either really.
What did start to catch on was in fact a movie group.  One where we ate and saw movies and talked about them over what we ate.

Movie reviews were one of the first thing I did when I was starting to blog.

Now, I've decided to mix all this together, movie group nights, movie reviews and a themed challenge like the Julie/Julia Project.

One movie a day for a year.
