Whom do you think...

...gave the better performance, Adam Baldwin, in Full Metal Jacket (1987), or

...Michael Madsen, in Reservoir Dogs (1992)?

I have no idea, although I preferred the movie Full Metal Jacket. (Reservoir Dogs was just a little too grisly for my taste.)

What does this have to do with anything? Tonight, Baldwin's alma mater, New Trier, will play Madsen's alma mater, Evanston, in basketball at Northwestern University. And I'll be there.

The Trevians (18-4) are ranked No. 12 in the state by the Tribune, No. 14 by the Sun-Times and No. 27 by MaxPreps. The Wildkits (11-9) are unranked by the city's two leading newspapers and No. 129 by MaxPreps.
