I saw the IMAX 3D version of Beowulf last night.  UNREAL!!!!!!!!!  If you have a theater in your area that is showing the 3D, it's a must see.  I don't know if it was the movie was good or I was enjoying the 3D, but it's one of the most enjoyable movies I have seen in a while.

I didn't even know that sort of thing was possible.  You can really get a sense of where movies are going in the future.

If you only knew.  I know when I go out out town and tell people I am from Kansas they always get that "look".  Like oh my God, he has shoes on, looks fairly normal, talks normal etc etc etc"

Where I am from:

http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Johnson_County,_Kansas

And a few quotes from that:

In 2006 CNN/Money and Money magazine ranked two cities in Johnson County on its list of the "100 Best Cities to Live in the United States."[2] Overland Park was ranked sixth, and Olathe was ranked 13th

Johnson County has the highest median income in the state and the nation's 43rd highest per-capita income and 62nd highest median household income.  Most of the county is suburban, being a part of the Kansas City Metropolitan Area.

And as far as seeing it on IMAX, I had my choice of 3 or 4 theaters in the area that have IMAX.  I did have a tough time trying to find a place to park my horse though ;) ;D

And in Kansas it's wheat ... not corn.  Please get it right :P

Here's a few I get when I go to Florida and wear my KSTATE....clothes

"Do you have a dog named toto? -.-

"Can you REALLY see forever?"

"Have you seen the wizzard of oz?"

"How scary is it to be in a tornado?"

I know it sounds silly..but they REALLY do ask this stuff

d**n the Wizard of Oz questions!!!!!!!  If I hear "You're not in Kansas anymore" one more time while I am out of town

I used to have a roomate from Calgary.  One time a bunch of his buddies came down to visit him, except one.  His reason .... he is afraid of tornadoes.  And he was serious.  I've lived here for 25 years and I have seen 1 tornado. :-?

National Lampoon's Vacation doesn't show us in a good way either.

 Folks can get strange ideas about other parts of the country.

 I've lived my whole life in Memphis (TN) except for about year and a half in San Diego, in the early 70s. I had a couple of folks out there ask me if "one of my legs was shorter than the other"? At first didn't understand and just blew it off. Another person asked and I said what do you mean. She said "you know...from running up and down ridges" :-? :P :-?. Finally understood, most folks there thought all of TN was mountains. Memphis is flat enough to think anything higher than the local cemetary plot is a hill!

                                     As Ever,

Well, I was born in Kansas and my grandmother's name was Dorothy.

When I was little we lived in Wichita and experienced three tornados at and near our house. Things were worse when we moved to Kansas City.

Yes, you can see forever. Especially when you are pheasant hunting and find yourself a mile from your truck, walking uphill and against the bitterly cold wind across a wet, plowed wheat field!

Many of the streets were originally paved with brick, though not "yellow brick".

I still love Kansas and I'm sure the Wizzard of Oz would like it there, too!

The company I work for deals alot with the NCAA which moved here from Kansas City to Indianapolis a few years back.  All of the people from their have been very nice and down to earth.  But back in 2002 the building I work in was demolished by a tornado.  It was the first big tornado I had ever had the experience of being directly in.  I thank God that I survived but the funny thing was the next day all the emails we got from the NCAA wishing us well, all said, "There's no place like home, there's no place like home,........".  Great people, funny how they seemed to blend in with us Hoosiers.

Back to the movie,  I too plan to take the wife to see it this weekend at IMAX.  Should be awesome.
