I just saw "Sideways," and I enjoyed it very much. Paul Giammati is terrific. I know at least 3 guys who are just like him.
"Sideways" also has the single funniest scene I've seen in a very long time. That particular scene is so hysterical I couldn't stop laughing. Since arriving home, I keep having flash backs and laughing all the more.
I'd like to see "Sideways" get the Oscar for best adapted screenplay. I don't think it's going to get anything else - not best supporting actor, not best director, not best movie. It's a funny and moving script that Giammati brought to life beautifully.
Reading is freedom.
The mind soars, no earthly cares,
no limitations.

Years ago my mother used to say to me... "In this world, Elwood, you can be oh so smart or oh so pleasant."
Well, for years I was smart.
I recommend pleasant.
You may quote me.
