No lobsters were hurt in making this movie

I cannot wait to go see Julie and Julia. I loved that book! (thanks esmee for giving it to me as a presents yrs ago.) Found this article in the NY Times on the art of filming food to be quite intriguing and enlightening. My favorite bit is as follows - "On the set of “Julie & Julia,” the lobsters posed a special challenge. Ms. Adams appears to plunge two live lobsters into a pot of steaming water. The steam is actually a cool mist, and just off camera representatives from the American Humane Association monitored the creatures’ health."
