Michigan State Puts Up A Good Fight

Finally saw 300 tonight – the Imax version. Wow! You can’t beat 10-foot high heads getting lopped off! Isn’t it weird how a cottage industry has sprung up around making moving image replicas of Frank Miller comic books? From two different directors, no less. Anyway, it was very, very purty.
