I saw Sideways earlier tonight

[Radical Activist]

and man did that movie ever suck ass!

I know a lot of people love it but pardon me for not being depressed and in the middle of a mid-life crisis. Yet another baby boomer growing older movie in the tradition of the Big Chill. Except that the Big Chill was funnier and more engaging than this.

I got some laughs out of it, but mostly chuckles here and there. The most entertaining part was a naked fat man chasing down the lead character. And believe me, I never thought I would say that full-frontal male nudity would be the highlight of any movie I've seen.

The lead character reminded me of every middle aged, annoying flake from southern California I've ever met. I'm not saying I don't like all people from California, but there's a certain type that get on my nerves. I didn't want to relate to these characters.

The other highlight was trying to annoy the woman with a giant stick up her ass in the row behind us who told my friend "this is the time to stop talking" during a PREVIEW! Do you really need to hear the preview to Hitch hikers guide to the galaxy that badly? I'm sure the movie was best suited to the tastes of pretentious middle class, middle aged white people like herself. She probably loved it. Anyway, my date and I had to joke around and talk a few times during the movie just because of the condescending and obnoxious way she had to say that. That made the movie halfway enjoyable.
