It is an amazing time of year. The NBA is winding down, baseball is just beginning, the NFL is fucking up everything, and college basketball begins a magical stretch that captivates us all. I took off of work Th. and Fri. to enjoy all that is March Madness. I am going to watch basketball for four days and be completely captivated and not bored in anyway. I have watched the least amount of college basketball this year than I have at any other point in the last 6 years. I'm hoping that will help my bracket out since I thought I had some clue what was going on in years past and have proven time and time again that I don't know shit. I do know that every year at least one 12 seed knocks off a 5 and one seeds always fall before you think they should. I'm going to just sit and enjoy all the games for two straight days and I can't wait.
I'm watching Platoon again and I always get caught up with how good the cast is. You rarely see an actor in Platoon that you haven't seen in couple of other features or tv shows. Headlining is Charlie Sheen, Tom Berenger, Willem Defore, but backing them up in minor roles are John C. Mcginley, Johnny Depp, Forest Whitaker, and Kevin "Johnny Drama" Dillon. I will watch it with Oliver Stone's commentary next time around to soak it all in. I still count it as one of the best war films of all-time. It's just an honest portrayal of parts of war that doesn't get shown without any glamorization. It's a must see film, it's just that simple.
Good call. BTW could Wisconsin have gotten a more difficult draw?. And I would like to get your thoughts on the play in games that are taking place this week.
ReplyDeleteI try to ignore the play-in games as much as possible. It's bullshit in the sense that not every team that "deserves" to be there will ever get in. It's an easy way to get more money into the NCAA.
