I was re-reading Mark Batterson’s book:  “In A Pit With A Lion On A Snowy Day” (awesome book by the way – you should all read it) and I started thinking about this character from II Samuel – Benaiah.  Anyway, this guy ends up as one of King David’s “Mighty Men” because of facing his own “lion in the pit”.  It all got me thinking of these huge Hollywood epoch films that people (especially men) love to watch.  You know, older movies like Sparticus and Ben Hur, and more recent films like Braveheart, Gladiator, Troy, and newly released “300″.   My wife attending this film is akin to me going to a “chick flick” – ain’t goin to happen.    Do you ever wonder WHY these films appeal to men so much?  I haven’t seen “300″ (I think it’s got some typical Hollywood sexual ratings boosters in it), but I read an extensive review in the paper where the reviewer was asking this same question – why do men like these films so much? (the reviewer was a woman by the way – she obviously just didn’t get it.)    I’ve got my opinion as to why we guys like these films, but what do you think?  I’d love to hear from some women too !   Just some food for thought.  Have an awesome day everybody.  I’m going out to mow the lawn when the heat index is over 100 degrees.  I can do it!  Arg!
