Watched Sideways at the theatre.

One of the few movies I went into not knowing anything about, other than that the director was responsible for Election (which I've seen twice) and About Schmidt (which I have not seen yet). Paul Giamatti, who also starred in American Splendor as Harvey Pekar, was perfectly cast for this movie. He plays a very self-conscious writer type obsessed with wine, and while on a weeklong roadtrip with his college buddy, he meets someone he had met he had met previously a few times, and manages not to fuck it up as much as he could have. The scene on the couch outside Stephanie's place was my favourite. Maya is exactly the type of woman I would describe as "attractive", and Stephanie is exactly the type of woman I would describe as "hot".
