Men who stare at goats..

Anyone else seen this movie?

I found it to be hilarious.

It's about a 'secret' military program to develop super soldiers and the main charecter immersises himself into the 60's hippie culture but the film is set many years later.

No, missed it at the theater but thanks for the reminder, adding it to my NF queue.

I got it as a birthday gift from my kids.

Interesting movie.....

They could have done SOO much and yet did so little with the film.

I was disappointed

Yep ive seen it, (twice) One of my best movies of 2009. Morbid humor, loved it.

Agreed. The end kind of left me saying "is that it??"

I saw it with my Fiance. I thought it was hilarious, she thought it was okay.

I like the billing: so and so, "..and goat"

And in IMDB, "goat" is listed "as himself"

frau kaleun · 04-19-10, 11:08 AM

Well I just watched this over the weekend and LOVED it.

This is going on my "to buy" list, definitely.

I can't even begin to list my favorite moments, just too many.

I'm still laughing over Ewan McGregor's character having been scripted to repeatedly profess complete and total ignorance regarding Jedi.

A little disappointed that they couldn't find a way to work in the line "these are not the goats you're looking for" but I'll take "the silence of the goats" as a consolation prize.

I thought the Kiwis preferred sheep. I'm not sure what the Aussies prefer. Wombats, perhaps?
