Sidewaste

Finally saw the film "Sideways" yesterday. Cannot for the life of me understand why this film was so well received. The clerk at Blockbuster could not believe that I didn't care for it. She said I was the first person to dislike it. I asked why it appealed to her, to which she responded: "It's like real... that's the way men are." Wow. I am definately not worthy of the Jade Ed title. I don't believe that all, or even most, men are that shallow, self-centered and down-right ridiculous. Nor do I believe that we women are so desperate as to seek a connection with men who have no apparent redeeming qualities. Whatta you all think?

    jade ed,
    well, you obviously went to a different Blockbuster then me, cause I had the same conversation you did! I am so tired of hot,smart,intelligent,and/or top-shelf women being paired with "shallow hal's" in the movies, partly because I think it encourages that behavior in real life (?).
    so...you are not alone. Remember the In Living Color movie reviewers?
    "Hated it!"
    :-)

    i'm glad that you extremely intelligent women didn't fall for this movie. it is twisted and not indicative of most men looking for love. i plan on seeing it next week just so i can boo. by the way, want to come up and see my etchings sometime?

    I watched a bit of it on the plane and decided it was crap and so switched to another channel.

    I don't know about sensitive and deep... more like hot and waxy.

    May consider it sensitive if they are scented. And deep... hmmm... depends on the wick I guess.

    many thanks oh lame ones. i guess i'm way more sensitive than you, because i already thought of all that junk.
    nicki, it looks like my son may be working near you. he says he's been hired to be a dog groomer (aka buttshaver)right where your clinic is.
