positive · AI labelView post →Napa Boys is a really disgusting but very funny movie that is notionally the 4th or 5th movie in a series of raunchy wine comedies spun off from Sideways. She plays one of the characters from a spin-off of the spin-off, Napa Boys: The New Batch

neutral · AI labelView post →@brainchain.ca Sandra Oh, years before Gray's Anatomy, Sideways, and then Killing Eve turned her into a household name, in Mina Shum's film Double Happiness, from 1994. She's from Nepean, aka a suburb of Ottawa.
neutral · AI labelView post →"Sideways" is one of those movies that has taken root in culture — eminently quotable, it boosted the wine industry in California almost as much as it did the careers of its stars and director, and did irreparable damage to the reputation of merlot. 20 years after its release, David Holmes went on a "Sideways" themed wine-tasting trip with Rex Pickett, the author whose novel was adapted into the screenplay, and wrote about it for Esquire. “The owner of the Hitching Post restaurant got ahold of…

positive · AI labelView post →Everyone should see Sideways lose his mind at the incredibly dangerous incompetence of the Les Mis movie
neutral · AI labelView post →Evidently, Vance is synonymous with shit now. The text substituted "Vance" for "shit" near the beginning when he says "these two pieces of shit"! 🤣💩 Reminds me of when I saw the movie SIDEWAYS on a plane in 2005. On the golf course, when the character said "asshole", they substituted "Ashcroft"!
neutral · AI labelView post →I've never even seen it but I know that's a reference to the movie Sideways.

positive · AI labelView post →I always thought the film Sideways was so brilliant at saying as much...plus, you know, drama, and chewing gum.
positive · AI labelView post →Just read "Sideways" which the movie was based on. Sequel "Vertical" also. Seriously guy books

neutral · AI labelView post →While not my favourite movie of #TIFF26 (that goes to "Onwards and Sideways") I am positive "Gentle Monster" and its star Léa Seydeux will be nominated for the big awards. Difficult watch, but an important one. Movie releases on Netflix soon. #filmsky youtu.be/hsOgBqDSi9M?...

neutral · AI labelView post →I think it’s better than it used to be. It got really popular after that wine movie. Sideways? Wineries cranked it out and the quality took a dive. Now it’s coming back. (I actually know very little about this. That’s why I’m on the internet. )
neutral · AI labelView post →THE HOLDOVERS - I absolutely loved this film! Alexander Payne, director of 'Sideways', delivers a witty, smart, and deeply moving story. I love that it's shot in the style of a 60s movie (right down to the opening idents) as well. Giamatti, Randolph, and Sessa give incredible performances! (All4)

neutral · AI labelView post →Paul Giamatti is in it - he is terrific actor. It is such a wonderful movie, funny, heartwarming, well written. It was directed by Alexander Payne. He did that hilarious movie Sideways. It also starred Paul Giamatti. There is 1 scene in that movie I thought I would die from laughing. 1/2

neutral · AI labelView post →Now twenty+ years later, we need a follow-up to the movie #Sideways with the guys dealing with age. Maybe Jack has to face his mortality and Miles is dealing with early onset dementia.
neutral · AI labelView post →"If anyone orders Merlot, I'm leaving. I am NOT drinking any fucking Merlot" As I get older, I have realized that this movie is written really well. Paul Giamatti and Thomas Haden Church have a hilarious chemistry and I can't help but agree with Miles a few times. I wish I loved wine like Miles does, but I do love hearing him describe each one with a passion.
