8 thoughts on the 29 thoughts on the apparent sexiness of sideways.
1. Excellent article.
2. It Made me laugh even though you spelled oenophiles wrong. I'm an artist not an editor, so I don't care.
3. 14 and 15 hit home.
4. Not sure I agree with 7. Hot girls like funny looking guys. Not "hot" girls. I mean like "super-hot must be an alien" girls. I had a friend who was real funny looking. More funny looking than Steve Buscemi. Always wore a knit cap was 5 foot 3 and had a wandering eye. He went out with this totally hot model. I think he may have had flea-like proportions. Or just a really fantastic sense of humor.
5. Definetely see Closer. Natalie portman "prancing" in the london strip club is worth it alone. And it is especially helpful when you go to see the last SW installment and it will probably suck, but not if you picture her wearing that same outfit under those robes.
6. Your credentials should be revoked if you've never seen casablanca. But I've never made it through Citizen Kane, so I shouldn't talk.
7. Avoiding any mel gibson or Kevin Costner vehicle will not adversy affect your emotional intelligence. Ignorance is bliss.
8. How does a drunk hyena laugh? I think just "laughing like a hyena" might have been an adequate metaphor.

Oh, for God's sake, does no one copyedit this shit at Nerve? It's "Jerry MAGUIRE," not "Jerry McGuire." http://www.imdb.com/title/tt0116695/ It takes two seconds to be a professional writer and check your stuff; hackery lasts FOREVER!

What? Why did you stop at 29? C'mon, you could have at least evened it out at 30 with another Jerry Mcguire observation! That movie sucked so bad that after viewing it I forgot how to even spell it. By the way, Sideways was a great flick. Sincerely, Lonely Male Shut-in Loser

Okay, I now forget the plot line of "Breaking the Waves," and it was that flick that started on this

Dear Adam,
While not quite 29 complete thoughts of Sideways sexiness, you did have me at Oh.
Why do all self-righteous movie snobs have bad breath? Scarlett was way hotter in Ghost World, and Topher ...his name is TOPHER!
But for the record...as a real life waitress, rolling her eyes at all Pinot drinkers as of late. Virginia Madsen would totally fall for Paul. Absolutely.
It is as sure as the fact that merlot really does suck.

Well done, Adam. I'm still laughing at this one:
14. And while it's good, is anyone that psyched to go see The Aviator? The Aviator should be called All Right, Fuck it, Let's Just See the Aviator.

"29 Thoughts..." rocked my world.
As of now, I'm ditching my Nerve Personals profile. Adam Boyle is the male who will tangle my sheets forever. I must find that I may love him up. End of story.

Jerry McGuire is an unwatchable collage of saccharine, Scientology and self-help hooey - there are ten movies just like it on Lifetime every day.
I will make it through life without seeing Braveheart, but I sadly did see Dances with Wolves. However, cut the last 30 minutes from Costner's movie and it's tolerable.
I really hope Episode III rocks - else I may never forgive Lucas.

Believe it or not, I have been holding on to the idea that the 3rd "Star Wars" movie could rock. The way I see it, the most fascinating part of the plot left to be filled in is the details of how Annakin becomes Darth Vader. It's almost like there's so little room for Lucas to manuever between the end of "Attack of the Clones" and the beginning of "A New Hope," that it would be hard to screw it up.
That idea will cost me $8 at the local multiplex. To get me to go back -- it will have to actually be good.

21. I bet when they were filming the penultimate scene in Jerry McGuire — the "you had me at hello" scene — everyone got kind of sick of repeating that contrived dialogue, which if you watch it now is kind of embarrassing. Except Tom Cruise. I bet he was really, really into it.
I was at Sundance in 1997 and was chatting up a delightful Hollywood woman. She asked what I had seen lately and I told her I had finally seen Jerry Maguire. She said it was a great movie. I said that it looked like it had been framed and shot for video; all two shots, nothing important outside the center of the frame. She said that it had done $300m worldwide. I said that it had a bad score, the 40 most recognizable seconds from the top 50 songs in the classic rock catalog. She said that it was a great film and had done over $300m worldwide. I said that the "you had me at hello" scene should have been done in ASL. She said that it had done more than $330m worldwide and walked away. I learned a couple of lessons there: Hollywood confers greatness on movies that do more than $330m worldwide, and dissing a great movie closes doors in Hollywood.
