Sideways

see it. 'nuff said.

but consider:

Boy, finally what we have always thought was needed but could never find: a film in which the protagonist is a writer. how original! and what a stretch of imagination for the screenwriter to imagine himself in his characters shoes: after all, the character is a novelist, while the screenwriter is screenwriter. such range! and to think, the character has been made thick and complex with the highly orginal device of making him an alcoholic! one wouldn't think of combining writing and drinking. god thing it is only fictional! just imagine.

and the location: what a great idea! set the movie in . . . California! exotic landscapes, interesting people, a veritable treasure trove of culture and civilization, all in one place, the best of al worlds! grapes, cars, freeways . . . coffee, crossword puzzles and sex, sex, sex, sex, sex!
