bad baby pie



I've never really liked pies. See? Even when I was little I could barely swallow them down.

But I just saw The Waitress, a funny and silly and sometimes-hokey movie that seemed sort of like a play and much like a fairytale (including the violent threats of a villain, the suggestion of magic, and a handsome prince)... and there were some tasty-looking pies in that movie. And of course, the warm feelings and complex domestic skills that are infused in great piemaking.

But the things I really liked about the movie: the crisp acting and sharp, loopy dialogue of the women actors; the names of the pies (for example, "naughty pumpkin pie" and "Old Joe's horny past pie"); and the sappy syrupy warm soft sweet love scene in the kitchen.

What can I say? I guess I'm just a sappy syrupy warm soft sweet-loving kinda gal...

Oh, but what I really, really, really, really, REALLY want to see now is the movie Once. It looks perfect.
