Movietime with Idiot Boy Neal Anderson #2

Hi everybody! So today is the big week! Side Ways is FINALLY out on video & DVD. I also got the soundtrack! Side Ways is all about livin’ la vina’ loca! Vina means wine, and this movie has a serious love affair with the stuff. Do you know what? I am starting to think that all those nominations for those awards (a la Oscar) were not half a coincidence. To my mind, this film is one of the best movies about wine ever made. But do you know what? It’s also about men, and women, and the lives they lead, which are the lives we lead as well, lives filled with timechanges. (WEB PEOPLE: PLEASE PUT LINK TO MY TIMECHANGES BLOGGER HERE!)

So who is in this movie? The slow person from The Wings and a big bunch of nobodies, that’s who! I am kidding around about it, but do you know what? The slow person from The Wings is really good. He is almost as good as a normal person would be. I did not think for one second, somebody like Pierce Bronsan (After Sunset, BOND!) should be playing this role, and that is saying a lot, because I think that Pierce Bronsan would be pretty much perfect for every role (and this one is no exception!!!). There is another one in this movie, a weirdish looking one, stylish, and a real glum chum. The plot thickens when the slow one from The Wings tries to cheer him up by having sex with an Asian one and getting married. Instead, “ le other guy” (weirdish looking, but interesting as a character) falls in love with a beautiful married lady, a bawdy barmaid who is always cracking wise. She is a blonde one, but an old lady. Definitely older than the Mexicana from the Pierce Bronsan movie. In the movie’s main scene, the old gal tells him (El Weirdo), “Life is like a bottle of wine,” and “live every moment like you’re drinking a glass of wine,” which is something I can relate to with or without a glass of wine in my hand. Something we all can!!!

I am enjoying learning all about the delights of this drink, which is actually derived from grapes and fruits like that. I looked it up on the internet and guess what? The guy in that movie is telling the truth, sometimes they put a whole bunch of stuff in the wine, EVEN CHEESE and VEGETABLES. Also, the other movie about wine, Da Mondo Vino. This is, I believe, about gangsters stealing wine, they are all like “Hey, forget about it, gimme a bottle a da’ mondo vino or I’ll wack you out!” This one, I don’t know about this one, who is in it? It looks like a bunch of garbage. Does it? Side Ways gets a 9. Da Mondo Vino, I don’t know. If you love wine you will love these movies!!!

Also, I had a letter from a lady named Annie Something-or-other. She wanted to know what to do when your special somebody (her husband!) is always smelling like oil. Me, I would say just keep at it! Sometimes somebody says that men are from mars and the ladies from venus. Think about it. Also, if it is the oil he is smelling like, he is probably having sex with a prostitute. Also, if you would like to read more about handling life’s problems, please visit my blogger about timechanges (WEB PEOPLE PUT THE LINK TO MY WEB BLOGGER HERE PLEASE!). That is it for now, I believe.
Yours Truly, Neal Anderson
