Snow coming down sideways

I bought the new album by Snow Patrol, called Final Straw. We've played it a few times at the store, and I'm really digging it. I can't really categorize what it is, but suffice it to say, it's Brit pop.
Also, just went to see the movie Sideways, based on the novel of the same name by Rex Pickett, which I also picked up at the store.
I really dug the movie, and I can kinda relate to the Miles character...I wonder if I'll end up like him when I'm 40. What a prospect.
There are a few scenes in it that highlight missed opportunity, and it's almost painful to watch...there was an audible groan throughout the audience. It was like having a perfect opportunity for connection being offered on a plate, but then closing off and then hiding behind safe walls. It makes you really feel for Miles.
I don't want to spoil too much. Go see it.
