Sideways makes apt comment

The first line of dialogue in Sideways is "fuck" muttered by an unseen voice in the dark. In the film's, and I guess this year's, downright funniest scene, Alexander Payne throws in a political comment that in 1 second says more than Michael Moore does in 2 hours: Bush and Rumsfeld are fucking the country like a heavy metal loving tow truck driver grudge fucking his cheating wife. At one point Paul Giamatti admits one of his clever line comes from Bukowski.
Taylor Hackford is seen talking about his Bukowski days in the current docu Bukowski: Born Into this. Not strangely enough, the end of Ray, helmed by Hackford, seems to say that heroin use is best when rehabilitated but adultery goes unpunished.
