300

My Toshiba HD DVD player came packaged with two movies (but no HDMI cable as noted in an earlier post . . . curious, I know), 300 and The Bourne Identity. I sat down this afternoon and rewatched 300 in glorious high definition and enjoyed the movie even more.

With all that increased resolution, I noticed that the Spartan soldiers appear to be as ripped and well-toned as myself. I thought my six-pack the envy of the Houston area, but Gerard Butler definitely gives me a run for my money.

I do concede their superiority in spear thrusting and phalanx maneuvering. I, uh, would likely hurt myself twirling one of those spears or shields around.

Sometime next week I'm going to pop in Sin City and see how the new player handles that cinematic bonanza.
