[lit-ideas] Re: "The Day After Yesterday"

As long as we're discussing the lines from SIDEWAYS as well as the 
general referent to "yesterday," let me add my 1 cent's worth:

I think the title of the protagonist's book, THE DAY AFTER YESTERDAY, 
was as nerdy and wordy as he was.  The title was not "evocative," just 
odd.  And the reply of "That's today" was a way of showing the more 
direct, more meaningful way that the waitress viewed things; her 
expressions were missing in his life AND in his book title. This may be 
obvious, but so was most of the movie; so much so that I too found it 
about an hour too long.
