I really have to defer entirely to Alexander. I did not know anybody other than Alexander. I met him on Election . We had just met. I had already signed to do another movie but I loved the script so much, I asked to meet with him. We met and just talked and then he remembered me a few years later and invited me to audition for About Schmidt . And it was actually all the way to the end, it was between Dermot Mulroney and myself for that role. I wrote and directed a movie that was at Sundance last year, and right when he was posting Schmidt I was scouting in Nebraska for my movie. The Nebraska Film Commissioner said, I told him you were going to be here and when I had you with me, he wanted us to call him. So we called him in New York and Alexander got on the phone with me. Riding around in a van in the middle of nowhere Nebraska and he was like, You ll never know how close you came to playing that part. But you have my word we will meet again. And last summer they just called me in Texas and said he was casting Sideways and he wanted to see me (movies.about.com....1204_2.htm)

The title of the movie is open to interpretation. We talked about it often. You go through a door sideways . Or the little roads that go off to the wineries in the Santa Ynez valley are sideways of the 101. But it s also these little portals that open up, and the experience. These guys are at such a crossroads in their lives. Their lives have been largely defined by failure and you would think the prospect of marriage, which is supposed to be bountiful and hopeful, it s just really another kind of tangential thing in his life. I mean, he s so kind of desultory about it even at the beginning. Whenever Miles comes, he can t wait to get away from it. One week away from being married and he can t wait to get away from his new in-laws and his fiancée. And there s actually some stuff that we shot that was cut out of the movie, these very antagonistic phone calls with his fiancée that Alexander [Payne] took out of the movie.

Alexander Payne strove to keep Sideways as pure as possible, casting actors who were believable, rather than the powerful Hollywood types who were seeking roles in his fourth film. With the two leading men in place, Payne began the process of searching for Paul Giamatti 's onscreen love interest. While sorting through a list of names, Virginia Madsen 's 8x10 publicity photo caught the attention of Payne and producer Michael London . After auditioning, Madsen was quickly signed on to Sideways . (movies.about.com....101204.htm)
A calendar spread is a horizontal spread that uses calls or puts and is short-term neutral, but is generally longer-term bullish or bearish. The position is created by purchasing a longer-term option and simultaneously selling a shorter-term option with the same strike price. The trader will typically use a slightly OTM strike price in anticipation of either a moderate or sideways move in the underlying through expiration of the first option. In the event the short option expires worthless, the trader can sell another near term option with the same strike price to create a second calendar if their outlook is still neutral or sell an option with the same expiration to create a vertical spread if a more modest directional move is expected. Finally, the trader can simply remain long the further out option if the outlook is more bullish or bearish. (www.forbes.com....pread.html)
Assume that it is January 9th and you are longer-term bullish on Microsoft Corporation (MSFT), but believe it will trade sideways for the next month or two. You can purchase a longer-term call and partially off-set the cost of this call with by selling a short-term call with the same strike price. MSFT closed at 26.86 and you evaluate a calendar spread that purchases a Jul 27.50 call and simultaneously sells a Feb 27.50 call. Figure 1-A displays the risk graph for this option strategy, but it s important to note that the existence of two expiration dates makes the reward capped when there is potential for it to be unlimited. In the event the short call expires worthless, the trader will be left with a risk graph similar to a long call position. (www.forbes.com....pread.html)
Although Sideways is for the most part humorous, I would say it has considerable resonance because it takes a humanistic look at male mid-life crisis. The movie shows Miles's despondency and his obsession with wine to be a potentially disastrous combination. The film's title is slang for drunk (homevideo.about.com....eviewa.htm)

This strategy combines a bullish vertical spread with a bearish vertical spread and has both limited risk and limited reward. We ll use a put example to illustrate a long condor (www.forbes.com....ondor.html)
