Nora Ephron


Ever heard of her? Well if you’re not a close friend or relative or co-worker you probably haven’t.

This… fantastic lady directed and wrote the scenarios for my top two films ever, Michael and You’ve got m@il.  Needless to say I was terribly surprised to find out they were made by the same person, as they don’t have much in common, other than the fact I’m totally in love with them. (And yes, I always used to ask “Which favourite movies? The serious ones or girly ones?” Well I’m not doing it anymore. They’re my movies and I’ll cry if I want to. LOL They’re my two favourite movies in the whole wide world, even if I can enjoy the Fight Club, adore American Beauty, and love lots of other serious thangs :P )

She also directed and wrote “When Harry met Sally” and “Sleepless in Seattle” and other flicks like “Hanging up” and “Lucky numbers”.  They’re not bad, not bad at all, but not in my top two.

Anywho… Nora seemed to have lost her hand a bit with the Nicole Kidman version of Bewitched. And then, after a while, she tried to come back with what you may know these days as Julie Julia.

So naturally I was dying to see it. Now I have.

It’s not the worst movie in the world and you can certainly feel Nora’s touch all over it, and Merryl Streep is fantastic, I must admit and I actually can’t stand her much. It wasn’t bad. Actually, much better than Bewitched (which was really bad), but nothing in comparison to Michael, You’ve got m@il and Sleepless in Seattle.

So a tiny letter:

Dear Nora,

Why don’t you please go back to Meg, Tom and John Travolta and see what you four can work up, because I want one last amazing romantic comedy. :D Pleaseeeeeeeee. Don’t know where you worked up Michael and You’ve got m@il from, but they’re STUNNING. So, please, for me…

Love, Liz.
