Who Says I Don't Have a Sense of a Humor
While out for a walk in the Arboretum Sunday, we saw a mother duck tending to some recent hatchlings. This worries us since our less-than-encyclopedic understanding of duck mating habits seems to be that the babies should appear in the spring. "Some of these mothers," Anna said sighing in mock condescenion, "You can't put it off forever, you know. All of a sudden it's July..." This was funny.
So is Meryl Streep, which meant The Devil Wears Prada, which we saw yesterday, turned out to be a great deal of fun. It was a little upsetting to see that the message of the movie was that our heroine (forgettably played by Brooklyn-native Anne Hathaway -- although this isn't really her fault, everyone except Streep is pretty forgettable) shouldn't care about being good at her job because it makes her boyfriend and her friends anxious. This is a fairly ridiculous notion. If she wants to climb to the top of the fashion world, why is that at all a bad thing? I can't quite figure that out. Anyway, it's an enjoyable movie with a dubious message.
Incidentally, also enjoyable will be Anna's reaction when she finds out that Hathaway is playing Jane Austen in a biopic that currently shooting.
