Went to see 300 last night at the IMAX. It was awesome, especially with the giant screen and 12,000 watt sound system. Reminded me a little of Braveheart, underdog fighting against all odds for freedom.
The story is based on Frank Miller's (Sin City and the soon to be released Watchmen) graphic novel and is mostly shot on blue screen (90%) and green screen (10%). The entire thing was filmed in 60 days in Montreal and took another year to create the special effects. The result was a bloody, gore filled 3 day battle of 300 Spartans against a Persian army of well over 100,000. Lots of fun!
NCAA tourney got underway yesterday. I'm in a couple of pools. I missed on one of my 2 long shots to get to the sweet 16, as Oral Roberts fell to Washington State. I did manage to know that Duke would lose to Virginia Commonwealth but I also missed the Indiana/Gonzaga game and ended up 14-2 for the first day.
Badgers play at 1:55pm CDT today against Texas A&M Corpus Christi. Despite their last game I still have them going to the Elite 8 before losing to Florida. I think they have enough experience and depth to make a decent run but their lack of offense at times will eventually be their downfall.
Go Bucky!

Not suer I'll be able to get DJ to see 300 in a theater so I'll have to Netflix it.
You have to take your wife to the movies with you? Don't you have any friends?
Just tell her there are 300 bare chested buffed out men walking around with nothing but a thong on... there were a lot of women in the theater.
