turn to the left

Finally saw The Devil Wears Prada the other day. I expected I'd like it given that I work in the suburbs of the fashion industry, but it surprised me by being even better than I thought it would be.

The fact that the primary actors did a great job and that Meryl Streep's character wasn't a one dimensional boss from hell probably helped a lot, but I also liked that the movie didn't skewer the fashion world. The scene where Meryl Streep explains in detail how the down market blue polyblend sweater Anne Hathaway was wearing originated in couture was pretty dead on. We're all sucked in whether we like it or not. Well, except for nudists I guess.

Doesn't mean I'm extolling the virtues of the industry, but it's really no sillier in scope than any other.
