John:  Did you like that movie Sideways Steph?

Steph:  It was all right. It was kind of a weird movie. I think, I think it was a good movie for guys though. Did you like it?

John:  I liked it. Ya know, there was a lot of hype beforehand so I was expecting more. So, I guess in the end it turned out to be pretty good. I’m not really sure why it was nominated for Best Movie though.

Steph:  Ya know, there was so much wine being poured in that movie. Perhaps, um, it was nominated because it made people want to drink wine.

John:  In a way. But there were some other messages in there about life and making decisions and changes and everything like that.

Steph:  Yes, there were. That guy who played – oh man I forgot the character’s name – but he was the jerk guy, ya know?

John:  Which guy was that?

Steph:  He was the one who was gonna get married.

John:  Oh yeah. And so, it was his bachelor party, right?

Steph:  It was his bachelor party. And he was such a jerk, um, and he really taught me a lot about life.
