I went with my coworker Max and his friend to see Wired to Win: Surviving the Tour de France at the OMNIMAX theater at the Carnegie Science Center today. Ostensibly, the film is about the workings of the human brain, illustrated via scenarios in the Tour de France. In fact, the science portion of the film was a bit light, but that's fine, because it provided an excuse for some amazing film of the Tour. The footage was from the 2003 Tour, primarily following Baden Cooke and the FDJeux team. If you've got any interest in professional cycling, then I recommend this film. It will be in Pittsburgh through May 2008.
(Yes, the title of the film is a little unfortunate, given the doping scandals in the past couple years.)
