IN PURSUIT OF PUZZLES

Sideways (Spiral #4)

The designer of the “Sideways” (2004) poster, Christian Struzen, nailed that particular shade of green a full 20 years before it took social media by storm during the ‘Brat summer’ of 2024 (courtesy of Charli XCX’s album).

For those who haven’t seen the movie, it’s terrific, and features one of Paul Giamatti’s many fine performances.

My thanks to Amuse Labs for helping me present this particular spiral puzzle as an actual spiral!

    Great fun! (As was Sideways – Paul Giamatti is one of my favorite actors.)

      Did you see The Holdovers? Another gem.

      Thanks for solving, Jeff; at this point you’re my single regular follower.

        I’ve got to believe that’ll change soon. Have you mentioned the blog on crosshare?

        I haven’t, and confess I’ve been meaning to look into how to connect my blog with Crosshare, like you’ve done with your Jeff’s Puzzles…

    And the movie actually had a noticeable effect on sales of both merlot and pinot noir! See, for example: https://wine-economics.org/wp-content/uploads/2012/10/AAWE_WP25.pdf

      I confess I empathized with Giamatti’s character’s beefs, as I prefer pinot noir myself! Thanks for solving, Sendhil.
