Sideways (2004)


A depressed, failed writer accompanies his over-the-hill actor buddy on a middle-aged dude's trip to wine country for a week, in preparation of the latter's upcoming nuptials. All one wants to do is drink, while the other wants to sow his oats. This is a fantastic road trip comedy about depression, unlikely friendships, love, sex, and alcohol. A bottle review can't really do it justice.

I finally rewatched this a few months ago. The ending was the exact opposite of what I remembered it being, regarding Thomas Haden Church's character. Another personal Mandela Effect to add to the pile.

You know why I'm here. Eagerly awaiting a chanch to continue ranting. A friend of mine and I were extremely triggered.

Resident Evil? I'm saving my nut for Halloween month. I saw it twice; enjoyed it both times.
