Rant alert - an Oscar addict confesses

[johnb]

Sideways is a really nice film. Don't have much to add to the fine siskell and egbert work above except to mention that in Spain the film has attracted the odd title 'Entre Copas' - between drinks/rounds/being out on the ale. There is a hard-to-understand literalism when the Spanish translate film titles. I ignored this film for weeks in the video shop because I'd confused it with an unfunny-looking spanish movie about drinking. Makes you really wonder how smart the translation that makes up the dubbing really is... (thank god for DVD.) Anyway, grand movie, just like About Schmidt by the same director. According to the IMDB he's made a few others - anyone seen any of them? (Sorry, none of them are about running, I don't think.)
