'Sideways' Returns, Uncorked for Japan - NYTimes.com
This article's main point (that US film studios are increasingly thinking globally and acting locally by producing local versions of US films) is a bit boring. But the description of the Japanese version of "Sideways" is humorous and worth reading. Be sure to catch the parts about how comments about merlot destroyed the grape in the US, the need for the Golden Gate Bridge to appear in the Japanese version, and, most especially, the photos showing the picnic scene in both versions. Worth a read. 'Sideways' Returns, Uncorked for Japan - NYTimes.com
