Sideways
- Commentary: Under construction.
Yep, I've seen this movie, a couple of times, since it came out early in this century. I've often been reminded of it and, when I am, I always think, "Oh, yeah! Delightful movie! I must add that to my collection!" And then I go on to think of something else and I forget. Well, now, I've remembered for sure. It'll be here in a couple of days. I'm really looking forward to watching it again. And again. I was, you see, involved in a friendship very much like the one depicted. We fell into friendship in high school. We even went on a road-trip, of sorts, except it was a move to a city with which both of us were unfamiliar. We are, by the way, still friends, very comfortable friends, although quite distant, at the moment, being involved in unlocked and very busy separate lives. I expect that at some time before we die we will come together again. In the meantime, I'll watch this movie. Maybe, some day, we'll watch this movie together. She's not a movie person, so she may not relate to it as I do, but I think she'll appreciate it.
More later.
