Just watched men who stare at goats....
 

Wtf ?????

I saw that in my Netflix pile this afternoon. Can't wait to see what the brain trust says about it

(Hurry up and tell me what to think, I'm a busy man, dammit!!!!)

Poorly done, take the big names out and it goes straight to DVD.

Another case of a good story that Hollywood ruined.

based on fact......(sort of.)


The Real Documentary That Inspired The Men Who Stare at Goats | /Film

My wife and I were scratching our heads afterward. It started out very Coen bros. so it got my interest from the "this is gonna be a weird movie" aspect. But it went straight down hill. Could not wait for it to be over.

eh.... i liked it. it wasn't schindler's list. but it was entertaining and that is what i was after.

I liked the part where they dosed the whole base. That was funny.

I heard from a co-worker that it wasn't good. I'm disappointed. I'll still probably watch it at some point, but I won't run out and get it.

The movie is based on... lots of spooky stuff.

The military CRV training manual & Open source CRV

It would have to have been remade better to just suck.....

We saw it in the theaters. There are a few laughs but overall it was rather dumb. I have seen worse.

This is all great info. I watched "The Hangover" last night via netflix and all i can say is that I'm glad I wasn't stupid enough to pay to see it in a theater. What a POS movie.

+1

I thought it was pretty funny, my wife thought it was sophmoric.

I laughed at some of the things in the movie and liked the MB. The taser scene was very funny to me.

I don't want to hijack this thread but trashing a suite in a hotel is not funny, stealing a police car is not funny, getting married to a stripper is not funny and encouraging the use of exodus is not funny especially when there just never seem to be any ramifications of the bad behavior. It's only funny if you are smart enough to realize it's not reality.

Some younger and I suppose some older folks today can't make that connection. Consequently, crap like that really does happen.

i think you mean ecstasy, or 'X'.

i guess i am not sure what y'all expected of men who stare at goats. i rented it knowing nothing about it and liked it. it was funny and the acting was acceptable, the dialog was great. perhaps i am easily amused.

It wasn't much but I think better people for the parts could have made it a little better, maybe, Clooney just wasn't good in his part. Contrived, dumb.

Actually, any of those things CAN be funny. They were just not funny in that film. :cool:

I really like the writing of Jon Ronson, the guy who wrote the book, but can't say I have seen the movie yet.

Getting punched by Mike Tyson is funny, as long as it's someone else.

Overall, Hangover was just the Three Stooges in 2009.
