" people called it the ' sideways effect on merlot , ' " says steven s . cuellar , chair of the department of economics at sonoma state university . " here in wine country when you speak to people who produce merlot , there is a lot of conventional wisdom and folklore about declining merlot sales after sideways . "

for now , pickett is throwing himself into a stage adaptation of sideways , produced by ruskin group theatre co and showing to full houses in santa monica , california .

engaging , well - paced , and ultimately satisfying , sideways is an enjoyable , well - acted comedy that features tender moments , strong writing , and subtle humor .

“people called it the ‘sideways effect on merlot , ' ” said steven s . cuellar to usa today , chair of the department of economics at sonoma state university .

sideways is a 2004 comedy - drama film written by jim taylor and alexander payne and directed by payne . a film adaptation from rex pickett ' s novel of the same name , sideways follows two men in their forties , portrayed by paul giamatti and thomas haden church , who take a week - long road trip to santa barbara county wine country .

much like “sideways , ” that film is an agile mix of comedy , romance and astute cultural observation — in this case about women in the workplace — and it had six oscar nominations . ( “sideways” had five . ) but “working girl , ” which follows a staten island secretary’s big - business climb in manhattan , is more of a fairy tale .

the japanese version of “sideways” ( which for the moment is still being called “sideways” ) is one of the most intriguing of these cross - cultural experiments . as in the original , the action takes place in california and the road trip involves plenty of wine talk , a leather - harness - clad chase , a jealous - rage beating and a wine - spittoon guzzle .

“sideways” is a fully sanctioned remake , done with the blessing of the original filmmakers — sort of . “i don’t know a damn thing about it , but i hope it’s better than the original , ” joked alexander payne , the co - writer and director of “sideways . ” “no , i’m really delighted . i got a check for it , and the check cleared . ”

sideways itself lay unpublished until payne bought the rights and transformed it into an oscar - winning film in 2004 . fox searchlight took a punt on the script after steven spielberg’s dreamworks rejected it .

in wine terms , sideways is credited with creating a worldwide demand for pinot noir that endures to this day , and damaging merlot sales . miles is an evangelist for pinot but loathes merlot .

sideways is neither effete nor snooty . it ' s a knowing , often - tender comedy about the plight of middle - aged men who aren ' t exactly living fast - track lives .

" pinot noir became the rising star in wine , " says gladys horiuchi of the san francisco - based wine institute , " and sideways had at least something to do with that . "

similarly , if the demand for pinot noir rose as a result of " sideways , " we should observe an increase in price . figure 3 shows data on the real price of merlot , pinot noir and the non - " sideways " red wine control group of cabernet sauvignon and syrah . all prices are indexed to one , so that we can observe the relative changes in the growth rate of each . figure 3 shows that indeed promoted and non - promoted price of merlot falls , while the promoted and non - promoted price of pinot noir rises following " sideways .

" sideways " arrived on the scene at the best possible time to make a real impact , given the momentum the wine industry had already achieved . but the movie resonated more than even the director imagined .

fox searchlight owns the rights to sideways characters miles and jack and also has first - look rights on payne’s projects . ‘if payne doesn’t endorse it , it’s a non - starter for fox , ’ pickett said .

figure 2 also shows that the ratio of merlot to the non - " sideways " control appears to be relatively stable prior to the movie , then decreases slightly after . conversely , the growth in the ratio of pinot noir to the control group increases significantly after the movie ' s release . once again , tests indicate that all changes resulting from the movie " sideways , " shown in figure 2 , are statistically significant .

on the flip side , in the wake of the success of " sideways , " sales of pinot noir jumped 15 percent in the three months ended jan . 15 , according to acnielsen . retailers and wineries , pushing pinot with all kinds of " sideways " tie - ins , say the movie has prompted the biggest buzz in the wine industry since a 1991 " 60 minutes " program touted the health benefits of red wine .

from a distance , the cover photo of four people sharing a bottle of red wine at a picnic suggests a dvd of alexander payne’s sideways . that impression is seemingly confirmed by a glance at the title , saidoweizu , which—because of how japanese accommodates words borrowed from other languages—literally translates as “something called sideways . ” only once you hold the box in front of your face does it become clear that everyone on the cover has been translated as well .

some makers are feeling pretty confident . duckhorn wine co . has gotten more positive press since " sideways " came out because so many wine critics have written stories " about merlots that are good , " said spokeswoman belinda weber .

as a result , sideways is an album you can listen to without knowledge of the film it accompanies . the close symbiosis between sight and sound that we are used to is not as close in this pairing . does that mean sideways is not a successful score ? well , it depends on how you look at things . if you believe the only successful film music exists solely to support the film it accompanies , then you might find sideways a disappointment . i personally enjoy a little surprise every once and a while , and sideways provides that on many levels . it is well crafted , moves briskly along , always keeping your interest , and is simply an enjoyable listening experience . for those reasons alone i ' m recommending this score and think kent deserves the accolades that have been coming his way due to his work here . i think we ' ll be hearing a lot more out of him in the future .

" sideways " also did something else , which was unplanned . the independent movie became a cultural phenomenon , seeping into everyday conversations and generating lots of press coverage . it became known even to those who hadn ' t seen it .

‘i think he sees himself as a guy leaving a cinematic legacy . he thinks the sequel is selling out , ’ said pickett , who has written a sequel to sideways , vertical , which he’s keen to see on the big screen .

the international clamour for sideways : the play is building , pickett says , reigniting interest in the film , which tells the story of a last wine road trip of the ill - fated miles and soon - to - be - married jack .

the 5 - foot - tall , chain - link fence for the park was more than half built when the whole project went sideways , and construction was stopped mid - build due to concerns from residents , including water contamination from animal waste .

“i cared desperately about ‘sideways’ while making it , but now it’s behind me , ” he explained . “so it has its own life , and if part of its life is having a twin in a parallel universe , then so be it . ”

while the results so far appear to coincide with conventional wisdom regarding the effect of " sideways " on wine consumption , it is possible that much of the growth in annual wine sales is confounded by the increased coverage of the nielsen data since 1999 .

" ten years later , it ' s win - win - win because of sideways , just ask the restaurant owners and hoteliers , " says kunin . " there is no bad press about this movie . well , except that one line . "

sideways is one of the few movies that people actually act in and there is a plot that doesn ' t rely on any special effects . part of what makes this movie special is the soundtrack by rolfe kent which puts each scene in perspective .

original soundtrack of the motion picture ' sideways ' directed by alexander payne . paul giamatti , thomas hayden church , virginia madsen and sandra oh play the main roles of the film . ' sideways ' won the oscar in " best writing , adapted screenplay " category , and was nominated in four further category : best achievement in directing best motion picture of the year best performance by an actor in a supporting role best performance by an actress in a supporting role comes in a tri - fold digipak .

but the big winner was pinot noir , which an a . c . nielsen analysis showed hitting record levels , up 16 % in the months after sideways . cuellar says pinot noir sales have continued to increase at a rate of nearly 9 % since .

froymovich takes some issue with blaming merlot ' s woes all on sideways . he says by the time the movie came out , merlot prices were already falling — a result of growers planting too many merlot grapes after the wine became the go - to choice for many drinkers in the ' 90s . some of those grapes ended up in bad , cheap bottles , hurting merlot ' s reputation . " sideways came out well after this trend had taken effect and just dunked prices a bit further , " he says .

paul giamatti at the four season ' s hotel in los angeles , during the press tour for the wine movie " sideways . " despite its one memorably cutting line about merlot , the movie was good for the wine industry , say some california wine producers .

but you can , it seems , remake “sideways” without bashing merlot . the memorable rant by paul giamatti’s miles ( “if anyone orders merlot , i’m leaving , ” he bellowed , before using some saltier language to express his hatred of the wine ) is nowhere to be found .

" sideways " is about wine aged to perfection sipped by men who ' ve aged to mediocrity - softer , hornier versions of walter and the dude . but miles ' s brutal honesty is its soul . he ' s annoyingly , depressingly out there , but never fraudulent .

sideways art co . will present their first event , where guests can get chatty about art over beers from 4th tap brewing . the first event will feature artists robert page , sarah pollock , and whitney turetzky . the show will be on display from january 18 - february 27 .

i ' d never have guessed that the japanese would remake a movie like sideways , with its focus on a specialized west coast winemaking region , but i can see how the comedy has universal appeal . do you like the concept , or should fox have simply dubbed the original ?

' the sideways effect ' : how a wine - obsessed film reshaped the industry : the salt the 2004 movie about an obsessive wine snob helped boost california ' s pinot noir production by 170 percent . and merlot ? the wine so famously maligned in the film has finally bounced back .

indeed , last november froymovich did his own analysis of the sideways effect , based on usda reports rather than retail sales , and found that any damage done by miles ' aversion to merlot in the film appeared to have finally run its course , resulting in increased plantings and grape prices .

the studio has been fielding offers from producers in other countries to remake films like “trading places” and “what women want , ” but mr . cripps said he is waiting to see how fox’s project goes first . “there’s a lot to learn from ‘sideways’ for us as well , ” he said .

in the wake of " sideways , " the impact on the wine industry is clear . nielsen ' s numbers show that while pinot was surging , 2 percent fewer households bought merlot in the 12 weeks after the film ' s release last fall , though volume sales did tick up slightly .

as to any harmful effect the movie has had on merlot , moviemaker payne feels little responsibility . the anti - merlot quip in " sideways " evokes such laughter in theaters , he said , that he thinks the film simply " gave voice to a feeling that had been rumbling around . "

sideways dictionary , which launches today , runs as a standalone site where you can pore over analogies submitted by the public . you can vote for the analogies you find most useful , and the washington post will integrate sideways dictionary into all of its stories . any security keywords appearing in an article will be linked to the dictionary . hover over the word and the most popualar analogy appears in a box onscreen . “it’s about communicating safety as simply as possible to people , ” says alfred malmros , who runs marketing for jigsaw . in practice , it ' s more complicated than that .

in terms of national numbers , however , cuellar studied national grocery store sales to see that merlot was already declining before sideways and continued to fall at 1 . 4 % a year after 2005 . still , it remains one of the most popular wine varieties , despite a loss in market share .

what a strange and delightfully surprising score rolfe kent ' s sideways is . i ' ll admit that i ' ve become a little jaded when it comes to film music . i suppose that i have listened to a bit too many scores , but give me the scenario and i can pretty well tell you what style of music will accompany it . so when i read that sideways concerns the exploits of two middle - aged men , one of whom is about to be married , on a wine - tasting trip in california , i immediately thought " nostalgic pop music with a light score . "

sideways is a rare comedy — admired by critics and a box office hit ( $ 72 million domestically ) . it launched its stars ' careers ( giamatti , church , virginia madsen and sandra oh ) . japanese filmmakers made their own tribute version . it even garnered payne an adapted - screenplay oscar .

at sunday ' s 10 - year anniversary screening in the film ' s location , santa barbara , payne still handled questions aboutthat merlot joke . but seth kunin , owner / winemaker of santa barbara ' s kunin wines , says the audience knew sideways put santa barbara on the wine - destination map .

in the film sideways , which earned an academy award in 2005 for best adapted screenplay and boosted the careers of thomas haden church , virginia madsen and sandra oh , those descriptive words aptly captured the character of angst - ridden , wine - obsessed protagonist miles raymond , played with self - flagellating glee by paul giamatti .

while our results show that " sideways " did increase wine consumption , the rising tide of consumption did not lift all varietals evenly . our results clearly show that merlot suffered a small decrease in both price and sales volume , while pinot noir benefited from the movie as indicated by significant increases in price and sales volume .

urltoken is selling sets of wine from the region toured in the movie along with the " sideways " dvd . twentieth century fox teamed up with several wineries and last week launched urltoken to sell wines from the central california coast . robert mondavi is rolling out in - store promotions , also in conjunction with the studio .

the same words also tell the story of an equally important , but liquid , character in the film : pinot noir . a dozen years later , pinot noir has become a mainstay of the california wine industry , and winemakers credit the film with bringing deserved attention to the varietal , calling it " the sideways effect . "

of course , many of us are less versed in the language and flavors of pinot noir , perhaps leaning more toward miles ' buddy jack in sideways , who pretty much thinks anything in a wineglass tastes good . jack is the merlot — big , agreeable , full - bodied — to miles ' more challenging pinot noir .

the next variable we examine is price . conventional economic theory tells us that as long as supply is not perfectly elastic , any change in demand should result in a price change . if the demand for merlot fell due to the negative publicity surrounding " sideways , " then we should observe a decrease in the price of merlot .

finally we examine whether " sideways " had different effects on different price segments of wine consumers . for example , if high - end wine consumers are more representative of core consumers than low - end wine consumers , and core wine consumers are less susceptible to movies and promotions than casual wine consumers , then we would expect " sideways " to have a larger effect on lower - priced wines than on higher - priced wines . to see if the effects of the movie differ by price , we re - examine the data segmenting the wines into three categories : less than $ 10 , $ 10 - $ 19 . 99 , and $ 20 - $ 40 .

the exhibition takes its title , and somewhat its conceptual and formal inspiration , from queer scholar kathryn stockton bond’s notion that rather than the normative view of “growing up” , the non - straight child “grows sideways” 1 through life - long , lateral interactions between childhood motivations and adult identifications , formed by sly intentions , blurred chronologies , and animalistic attachments .

, the release strategy evolved organically . “it wasn’t like we sat down a year before the movie came out and said ‘we’re going to put out a trailer eight weeks before the release date . ’ it just sort of became that . ” and while trachtenberg was naturally involved in the master plan , he was still knocked sideways by its execution :

" sideways " was released oct . 22 , 2004 , nominated for five academy awards on jan . 25 , 2005 - - it won one , for best - adapted screenplay - - and closed may 19 , 2005 . in the 30 weeks the movie was in theaters , gross domestic ticket sales topped $ 70 million , with worldwide sales reaching more than $ 100 million , making it the 40th highest - grossing movie of the year . the no . 1 - grossing movie of the year , " shrek 2 , " grossed more than $ 440 million and nearly $ 1 billion worldwide that same year . " sideways " was released on dvd in the united states and canada in april 2005 .

sideways dictionary does exactly that . the browser extension , developed by google ' s online safety division jigsaw and the washington post , aims to help laypeople understand online threats and the precautions they can take against them . it starts with basic fluency ; you can ' t protect yourself against a phishing attack if you don ' t know what it is .

there is a memorable scene in the movie " sideways , " in which the lead character , a pinot noir fan , adamantly refuses to drink merlot . as wine consumers have gone on to mimic actor paul giamatti ' s anti - merlot quip , the effect of the movie has become folklore within the wine industry . for example , in the april 2008 issue of

first consider annual case volume of merlot , pinot noir and the control group of non - sideways red wines consisting of cabernet sauvignon and syrah . the largest red varietal seller by volume in the u . s . is merlot , followed by cabernet sauvignon , syrah and pinot noir , with merlot and cabernet sauvignon selling almost twice as much as syrah and pinot noir .

as anyone who has enjoyed " sideways " knows , the music perfectly captures the film ' s various moods , and listening to this cd is the next best thing to seeing the movie . indeed , hearing the exuberance of " wine safari " and the melancholy of " abandoning the wedding " prompts the corresponding scenes of " sideways " to run vividly through my mind . even so , i had two minor issues with this disc . one is its brevity - there ' s only a little more than a half - hour ' s worth of music here . i also would have preferred the tracks to be in sequence with the film . but these are minor personal quibbles that shouldn ' t deter you from buying this album .

if you were stoked to hear about the release of the ramen girl , wait until you hear about the next big foodie flick . oh , wait — you may have already seen it . twentieth century fox is creating a japanese version of sideways , the oscar - nominated comedy about four friends road - tripping through california wine country that became a runaway hit in 2005 .

paramount is taking “baby steps” in the foreign remake game with the development of a japanese version of “ghost , ” according to andrew cripps , its president for international theatrical distribution and marketing . “ ‘ghost’ has a lot of elements that appeal to a japanese audience : the emotionality , the sentimentality , ” he said . “like ‘sideways , ’ ‘ghost’ is a dialogue - driven drama . ”

that ' s exactly what the st . francis winery & vineyards in sonoma valley is doing , cooperating with a popular sonoma restaurant that has created a " ' sideways ' martini , " said nan fontaine , a spokeswoman for the winery . the cocktail is a mix of vodka , lime juice , lemon juice , pomegranate juice - - and a generous splash of st . francis merlot .

when the producers of the new “sideways” set out to shoot at california wineries , the response was less than enthusiastic . though the original sparked a surge in pinot noir sales and wine tourism , it also led to a drop in merlot sales . as terry joanis , marketing manager of the frog’s leap winery , explained : “not everybody grows pinot noir . a lot of people grow merlot . ”

the effects on non - promoted price provide the most convincing argument for a " sideways " effect . while the fall in the price for merlot continues a trend that started in 2003 , the increase in the price of pinot noir that starts in 2005 following the movie appears to reverse the downward trend that began in 2003 . additionally , our analysis indicates that these changes are all statistically significant .

the sideways effect is also generally credited with depressing the market for merlot wine , based on a memorable line from the movie when miles colorfully proclaims his disdain for the wine — the back story is that his ex - wife liked merlot — declaring , " no , if anyone orders merlot , i ' m leaving . i am not drinking any f * * * * * * merlot ! "

in other words , it did for wine what every marketing professional wants to do for a product . the fact is , though , when something grabs the imagination of the public at large - - so much so that buying habits are affected - - it is almost always an accident . how much " sideways " will continue to help pinot and hurt merlot can ' t be predicted or controlled .

the idea behind saidoweizu isn’t “what if sideways took place in japan ? ” it’s “what if everyone in sideways were japanese ? ” while it would be appropriate to call the film a remake , it might be more accurate to call it a repopulation . whereas the original film is about a self - pitying writer who takes his best friend on a bachelor - party weekend in california’s wine country , this version is about a self - pitying writer who takes his best friend for a bachelor - party weekend in california’s wine country while being japanese . the difference is not inconsequential , and the fact that the film never forgets that is its only real source of artistic value . saidoweizu may not have been intended for western audiences , but it doesn’t mean that this curious remake doesn’t have anything to offer us .

to examine the effect of the movie on merlot and pinot noir consumption , we use annual scan data from u . s . retail chains . annual data was used because it allowed us to examine a period sufficiently previous to the release of the movie in 2004 . in addition to merlot and pinot noir , we also examine the " non - sideways " red wines cabernet sauvignon and syrah as controls .

the director was flying back from edinburgh , where he had been at a film festival promoting election , when he finally had a chance to read rex pickett’s book sideways . as soon as he landed , payne ran to a pay phone ( this was 1999 ) to call his agent about purchasing the rights . he later told pickett he liked his novel because his characters were “so f * cking pathetic . ”

figure 2 provides an even starker view of the diverging trends of merlot and pinot noir . consider first the ratio of merlot to pinot noir . if the movie " sideways " induced a decrease in merlot consumption while simultaneously increasing pinot noir consumption , then we would expect the ratio of the two to decrease . this is in fact what we observe in figure 2 for both promoted and non - promoted volume .

miles and jack traveled to oregon with miles’ mother in rex pickett’s 2011 sequel , vertical . pickett made sandra oh’s character into a lap dancer as a “little wave” to payne , and wrote stephanie ( terra in the books ) out of vertical entirely so payne wouldn’t have to work with his ex - wife again . pickett also wrote an ebook in 2015 titled sideways 3 chile , which found miles traveling to south america .

“spinoffs are tough for a bunch of reasons , but if the right idea came , i’d certainly love to work with [ actor hoon lee ] again . i’m leery of the fact that — sometimes really amazing supporting characters , when you make them the center of the show , sometimes it goes a little sideways . but if we had the right idea for a job spinoff , certainly we would play with that . ”

that’s why jigsaw and the washington post are turning sideways dictionary over to its users . moderators will excise inaccuracies but let readers decide which analogies are the best help . such an approach keeps any one entity from dictating definitions , while letting different perspectives or cultures factor in . that could increase understanding . and that ' s essential , because people can ' t protect themselves online if they don ' t understand the problems—or the solutions .

" pinot noir production in california has increased roughly 170 percent since sideways was released , " says wine industry analyst gabriel froymovich of vineyard financial associates , noting that total wine grape production has increased 7 to 8 percent during the same time . " i think people who were into wine saw the passion for pinot noir in the movie , decided to explore that variety a bit , and realized how lovely a wine that grape makes . "

carlton cuse : we thought just doing one [ of those options ] would inherently not be satisfying . since the very beginning of the show , characters started crossing through each other’s stories . part of our desire [ in season 6 ] is to show that there’s still this kind of weave , that these characters still would have impacted each other’s lives even without the event of crashing on the island . obviously , the big question of the season is going to be : how do these [ two timelines ] reconcile ? however , for the fans who have not watched the show closely , that’s an intact narrative . you can just watch the flash sideways — they stand alone all by themselves . for the fans who are more deeply embedded in the show , you can watch those flash sideways , compare them to what transpired in the flashbacks and go , “oh , that’s an interesting difference . ”

growing sideways presents over five dozen drawings on collage that will frame the space and culminate in a site - specific floor - to - ceiling installation , growing across two and three dimensional surfaces and creating a disjointed narrative exploring gender formation and erotic curiosity through schliebener’s combination of cuttings from found children’s books with abstract drawings and felt pieces that recall organic sensual shapes in nature and the body . two series–”peek - a - boo” and “sassy and butchy”–comprise this show .

gluck’s version doesn’t acknowledge rex pickett’s novel or deviate far from the american film—payne even retains his “screenplay by” credit—but it still fails to retain much of the wry wistfulness or aching regret that makes sideways so special . nevertheless , saidoweizu’s most glaring weaknesses ( a script lazily spackled with voiceover , the visual dexterity of a bad sitcom ) are somewhat compensated for by how it gently reminds western viewers that being the world’s default audience doesn’t make them the only audience worth serving .

a wine tasting road trip to salute jack ' s final days as a bachelor careens woefully sideways as he and miles hit the gas en route to mid - life crises . the comically mismatched pair , who share little more than their history and a heady blend of failed potential and fading youth , soon find themselves drowning in wine and women . emerging from a haze of pinot noir , wistful yearnings and trepidation about the future , the two inevitably collide with reality .

this is where sideways dictionary can run into trouble , because metaphors can have an outsized impact on public opinion . in a paper from 2011 , stanford psychologists compared the tropes of crime as an epidemic and individual crimes as attacks . they found that when crime was likened to an epidemic , people favored responding to it with educational and preventative programs . using the more violent " attack " metaphor made people think bolstering police and getting tough on crime was the best response .

virtually all the results are consistent with the theory that " sideways " had a negative impact on the consumption of merlot , while increasing the consumption of pinot noir . however , far from having a " devastating " effect on merlot , the positive impact on pinot noir appears greater than the negative impact on merlot . in fact , while the main impact of the movie on merlot was to slow the growth of case volume , the case volume of pinot noir increased significantly .

these days everyone seems to be speculating on how the wildly successful , best - picture - nominated road movie " sideways , " with its strong focus on wine , will affect our wine - drinking habits . stories are buzzing , especially in southern california - - the setting for the film - - about how sales of pinot noir , which was highly touted in the film , are skyrocketing while sales of merlot , which was singled out for particular ridicule , are plummeting .

cuse : we did have some concern that it might be confusing kind of going into the season . to clear that up a little bit : the archetypes of the characters are the same and that’s the most significant thing . kate is still a fugitive . if you were to look at the comic - con video , for instance , that now comes into play . there was a different scenario in that story . she basically blew up an apprentice plumber as opposed to killing her biological father / stepfather . those kind of differences exist , but who the characters fundamentally are is the same . if it becomes too confusing for you , you can just follow the flash sideways for what they are . it’s not as though there’s narrative that hangs on the fact that you need to know that this event was different in that world , in the flashback world versus the sideways world . that’s not critical for being able to process the narrative this season .

as much as “sideways” belongs to mr . payne and his co - writer , jim taylor , the japanese version is , like an american indie , close to the heart of mr . gluck , who is of japanese and american descent and spent much of his childhood attending american schools in japan . mr . gluck’s bilingual film experience dates to 1989 , when he assisted on “black rain , ” the ridley scott film about an american police officer ( michael douglas ) in japan .

the alexander payne - directed sideways followed two men in their forties taking a week - long trip to santa barbara , california . ostensibly planned as an intimate bachelor party , soon - to - be - married jack ( thomas haden church ) and unsatisfied writer miles ( paul giamatti ) end up getting romantically entangled with two women , which they complicate in both comedic and horrific self - destructive fashions . here are some facts about the 2004 movie that are best paired with a wine that’s still evolving .

m . c . gainey played the husband of cammi , a waitress jack seduces . . . but whose husband comes home early and chases a naked jack out of the house . later , it ' s gainey who is doing the naked chasing . he once said , “men recognize me from it , but i have yet to have a woman say , ' weren ' t you in sideways ? ’” despite the “wonderful” experience , gainey claimed it would be the final nude scene of his film career .

visual inspection of figure 1 shows the case volume of pinot noir growing , while the growth of merlot appears to flatten out and even decline following the movie ' s release in 2004 . for the control group of non - sideways red wines , growth appears to continue an upward trend started in 2004 . statistical tests confirm what is apparent from figure 1 : pinot noir observed a relatively large increase in case volume , while merlot and the control group experienced small but statistically significant declines in their growth rates .

at any rate , the " sideways " soundtrack is a must - have if you can ' t get enough of the adventures of miles , jack , maya , and stephanie , and it stands on its own merits for lounge or chill music as well . by the way , there ' s no movie dialogue on the tracks , so don ' t be concerned about " i ' m not drinking any # @ % ! $ merlot ! " getting you in trouble at work ( heh ) !

the bureau of general services—queer division presents growing sideways , an exhibition of new work by buenos aires - based , chilean artist catalina schliebener , organized by independent curator john chaich , on view december 2 , 2016 through january 22 , 2017 with an opening reception on friday , december 2 from 7 - 9 pm at the bureau of general services—queer division , 208 w 13th street , room 210 , new york , ny , on the 2nd floor of the lesbian , gay , bisexual & transgender community center .

rolfe kent , who has made his name scoring comedies like legally blonde and mean girls , here writes an intelligent score that has little to do with the movie beyond ambiance . most composers try to match screen action very closely , heightening the drama through little touches . kent , working closely with payne , chose instead to match the atmosphere of a 1960s italian film since sideways takes place in the sun - dappled vineyards of california . the score was even recorded on an old valve based mixing board to give it a retro sound .

yep , that ' s the big twist : split is set in the same cinematic universe as shyamalan ' s 2000 super - hero tale unbreakable . in a move that ' s perhaps even more ambitious than the title - switch j . j . abrams played with last year ' s 10 cloverfield lane , the notoriously secret - prone director has slipped a sideways - sequel to one of his most beloved movies into theaters without anyone noticing . it ' s not just a twist ending ; it ' s a twist beginning too .

additionally , because of the similarity in the growth rates of merlot and the control group , we test for differences in the growth rate of merlot and the control group . our results indicate that the growth rate of merlot was indeed less than that of the control group , while the growth rate of pinot noir was greater than that of the control group . at this point , case volume of merlot and pinot noir appear to follow the expected effect if the movie " sideways " did decrease demand for merlot and increase demand for pinot noir .

then " sideways " came along and tackled a more psychological barrier to wine consumption : the notion that you can ' t drink wine unless you know wine . to be sure , the movie celebrated wine ' s complexity and romance , but it also showed its appeal for the rest of us . of the two buddies traveling through santa barbara ' s wine country , only one puckered and sniffed the vanilla notes in his glass . the other , a washed - up actor , had little more to say than , " i like it . "

miles and jack , in their own ways , are in awe of women—of their power to scramble a man’s good sense . miles’s ex - wife , when we finally meet her , is no gorgon ; she’s decent and intelligent and still cares about him , only not enough . with miles , declarations of faith are supposed to be forever . he can’t abide the waywardness of affection , any more than he can abide someone who doesn’t love pinot . in sideways , wine is much more than wine . it’s a metaphor for the spirits that bring us to a reckoning with ourselves .

miles is the hero of alexander payne ' s " sideways , " which is as lovable a movie as " fargo , " although in a completely different way . he ' s an english teacher in middle school whose marriage has failed , whose novel seems in the process of failing , whose mother apparently understands that when he visits her , it is because he loves her , and also because he needs to steal some of her money . miles is not perfect , but the way paul giamatti plays him , we forgive him his trespasses , because he trespasses most of all against himself .

in seattle , david coyle , head sommelier for the metropolitan grill , says that , on average , he gets two or three customers mentioning the movie each night . " they make comments about the movie ; they want to know if i ' ve seen it , " he says . " before ordering a merlot , they ' ll say , ' i know i ' m not supposed to . . . ' " but all the " sideways " chatter hasn ' t affected sales at the metropolitan , where coyle reports pinot sales have barely budged and merlot sales are as strong as ever .

hayley : it’s actually so easy ! it’s way more simple than i think most people would tend to believe . i deep condition it at home every few days and i just use leave in conditioner and a water soluble hair gel on the other days and then diffuse it . it only takes about 10 or so minutes total . i don’t wrap it at night or anything , which i should probably start doing because i want it to grow !

hayley : when i went to a bad hair dresser it did ! my new hair dresser uses more natural products so i haven’t noticed much of a difference with my hair being dry and brittle . it’s actually gotten significantly less dry over the past couple of years but i would attribute that to finally finding decent products as well as a shift in my diet . it makes sense that what we eat and consume would effect everything down to our hair and nails .
