the duo goes to the movies: waitress
Posted by Sarah
We here a foodie central have been a bit busy lately what with work and school and nervous breakdowns (the breakdown would be me: Meg’s the stable one, I’m the nervous one), so this post is a bit tardy. But better late than never, right?
A while back Meg and I took a little break from our busy lives to head to our local cinema to take in a bit of culture- pop culture that is, haute culture’s aiming a tad high for a weeknight. Our choice for the evening was Waitress since the previews featured both romance and pie and I can’t speak for Meg but I for one am quite fond of both those things. Plus, I have a bit of a crush on Nathan Fillion who plays the love interest (I own the box set of the Joss Wheden series Firefly that he starred in as well as the movie Serenity which was based on the show and I have made multiple people watch them with me. Also, I watched all of the episodes of Buffy he was on and most of that show Ride which mostly just confused me and one day I’ll work up the nerve to see Slither but it’s gonna be a while. I’m not usually one for celebrity crushes but he’s adorable and Canadian and I hope I never meet him because I really prefer to crush from afar). The film also stars Keri Russell who, as I’m sure you remember (really, who could forget?), was the star of the show Felicity and, in my book, this was her last chance to redeem herself for playing a character whose complete and utter lack of decision making skills annoyed the hell out of me. Andy Griffith also plays the small but significant role of a crazy old man named Joe who owns the dinner where our star works. Cute folks, Matlock and lots of pie- really, what more could you ask for in a movie?
