Rewatched the movie "Sideways"
Poast new message in this thread
Date: April 18th, 2024 7:46 AM Author: yapping beta menage goyim I rewatched the movie Sideways (2004) for the first time since it came out. It holds up well; I think I liked it more this time than the first time. I liked the interplay of opposites between Paul Giamatti and Thomas Hayden Church — introverted vs extroverted, ugly versus handsome, pessimist vs optimist, truth-teller vs. liar, smart versus less smart, complex versus simple, loser versus winner. It’s the interplay of those contrasting forces that drives the film. The acting is quite strong by everyone, especially Giamatti. The beats feel real and I like how things aren’t wrapped up into a neat bow at the end. (http://www.autoadmit.com/thread.php?thread_id=5519019&forum_id=2#47592664) |

overall, i really enjoy sideways. not sure why, it seems like a movie i would hate but i've seen it like 10 times and if i come across it while flipping around i stay on it. |

Despite his view of himself as a good person, he's just a selfish asshole who steals from his mom to fund a bachelor party for his friend (who he genuinely hates) with an itinerary of all stuff he wants to do as opposed to the groom.
It is a deeply depressing movie. |

Date: April 18th, 2024 11:21 AM Author: Rambunctious garrison wagecucks Not flame. From IMDB:
During an emotional scene in the film, Miles talks with great passion about Pinot Noir. After the release of this movie, sales of Pinot Noir wines rose by more than 20 percent over the 2004-05 Christmas/New Year period, compared to the same period the previous year. A similar phenomenon was experienced in British wine outlets. Miles is deeply disparaging, in a different scene, about Merlot, and sales dropped after the film came out. Ironically, Miles's prized bottle of wine, a 1961 Château Cheval Blanc, is a blend of Merlot and Cabernet Franc, another grape Miles disparaged. |

You might as well have made a movie about a random person hitting themselves with a hammer over and over. |

good example of how women fundamentally don't understand men. they think if a man will sleep with them they'd date them. then they see stuff like this and their birdbrain short-circuits. |
|
Date: April 18th, 2024 1:57 PM Author: Supple alcoholic range It’s a very good movie.
Both the Church/Oh and Madsen/Giamatti pairings made a lot more sense in the pre-social media/smartphone era than they do now. Randomly meeting and hanging out with people like that wouldn’t happen 20 years later and if Church wanted pussy he would just fire up tinder.
In a lot of ways the movie captures that last era of American society under Bush II before the decline really went into high gear. |
