What movie is it?

the men who stare at goats i believe, from what i heard it's nothing special it all leads up to the very end.

Looks stupid.

Guessing that new Men who stare at goats movie?

I tend to avoid movies with big names anymore. Usually just flashy with no real content.

Don't understand the Jedi stuff? You're Obi-wan Kenobi!

Unfortunately that's what makes a 'good' movie these days. We don't need plot, story or even intriguing dialogue. We just need budget-pushing actors and special effects whose market value after production could easily solve a tenth of America's funding issues. We can always just dig a plot or story out of some book somewhere. Even better if the original author isn't around to fight with us!

I'm only betting the same for Fantastic Mr. Fox. I WANT to like it, but...I don't think I'll be able to.

All-star cast, yay! ...Terribly awkward book for plot, embarrassing dialogue and undesirable 'trademarks'? Boo, boo, a thousand times boo.

Actually. The Men Who Stare At Goats is pretty low-budget. It's mostly Ewan Mcgregor and George Clooney walking around the desert while they try to make it whimsical and unique by having McGregor narrate, because hey, it worked in Moulin Rouge and Big Fish, right?

Well, at least the title KINDA tells you what to expect from the movie? O=D

Alternate titles...

"We Spent All Our Money On Actors, So We Sent Them On A Walk"

or

"Ewan McGregor Makes An In-Joke Star Wars Reference No One Will Be Awake For"

Wait, I'm sorry. Simple movie titles are this decade's fad. Let me rename them.

"Cha-Ching!"

or

"George Lucas Strikes Back. Again."

They're not listening.

*shrugs* I thought it was fine.

I guess it comes with knowing the kind of people who actually did that research back in the day.

I actually really enjoyed it. I guess you need to have a certain sense of humor.

Eh, I had a blast with that movie.

the book is based of a real army platoon/squad/whatever, i do believe.
