We saw it last night.
1 star
Here in South Carolina we don't hear a lot of swearing, so that got some laugh's, of course the "F" word got the biggest. "Tough titie" also got a big one.
I don't think the producers watched this thing before they put it out, otherwise it would not have made it. It should go to Blockbuster real fast.

That's too bad. I had higher hopes. Ah well, thanks for saving me an evening out and twenty bucks.

It's a true story that the movie makers yucked up.
Thank you,

George Clooney, B movie actor extraordinaire. The only difference in him and the old B movie actors, they make 'em in color now. He should have never left TV, he was much more palatable on a smaller screen.

Speaking of "B" movies...Remember when you could go to the movies and see two of them plus a cartoon?
The old folks will now say, "And a news reel and a serial chapter."

Like I said in another post, it's a true story..It was a Top Secret US Army program and there was a guy that could stare at a goat and kill it. Not funny if you think about it.
Thank you,

I'm so glad you ask...... A young goat had an accident and needed a brain transplant. The veterinarian told the goat’s family, "Brains are very expensive, and you will have to pay the cost yourselves." "Well, how much does a brain cost?" asked the family. "For a male brain, $500,000. For a female brain, $200,000," replied the vet. All the men in the family nodded because they thought they understood. But the mother was unsatisfied and asked, "Why the difference in price between male and female brains then stairs directly at the vet waiting for an answer?" "Standard pricing practice," said the vet. "The female brains have to be marked down because they’ve actually been used!". oops sorry forgot this....  as always goat humor is available on request !_______________________________________________________ People will forget what you say and do, but they will never forget how you treated them.

Hugh------Last time I knew anything about it, it's still in existence, but in a much broader format.
Remember years ago when people were up in arms over $690 hammers and $2000 toilet seats in the Pentagons's budget? Well, nobody in their right mind would ever believe that, but it's just the kind of thing that slips through Congressional oversight, and no one usually questions. Money for "black" projects has to come from somewhere, hence $95 "Welcome to Fort Benning's Annual Birdwatching Week" keychains.

You can't ride home on a bowl of goat. I've always said that.

Hmmm . . . I'm intrigued. When it shows up in the public library, I think I'll check it out.

I haven't seen the movie, but the premise reminds me of MKULTRA, a secret CIA project in the 50s and 60s that involved all sorts of weirdness. It was through one arm of the project that Ken Kesey was introduced to LSD, sparking the whole 60s LSD-powered counterculture thing.

This is not something just anyone can do, since I am an old goat, my ex-wife would have put an end to me long ago if looks could kill.

Hey Scott:
“You Can Hang a Sign on a Pig Saying It's a Horse...But It’s Still Just a Pig.”
As many of us have seen in our various local papers, about once a year:
"You can paint a sign on a cow saying it's a COW , and some city boy with a deer tag and a deer rifle will still shoot it as a deer."
If enough of them see this movie, maybe they'll try kill it by just staring at it.
And, if they stare at it long enough, maybe the beer in their bloodstream will fade, and they'll remember that deer are more brownish, without big red letters on the side.
So, let's brag up that it's a Real Man's movie, made for Real Men, men of Action!!
No Hangout Rule against lying about a film, to save our nation's innocent cows, I suppose?
One may always hope.
Now, Dennis, is the HIJACK warning intended to keep us focused on the cinematic quality of the film, and keep us from debating whether or not such powers exist?
I did read the book, and it seems to be disturbingly factual, and disturbingly funny.
Not easy to write one like that, my hum bull opinion.

Don't know about the serial chapter, but I remember the double feature with newsreel, coming attractions, cartoon, 3 Stooges or those dopey kids. So I guess I'm definitely old. Jessy Frailaway, ladies, frailaway!

Dunno 'bout the movie but if the Banjo Mafia site ever wanted to change its name.........

Thanks for the tip Dennis. I was JUST leaving the shop to go catch a late screening of it! Now I can save myself about $25-30 for 2 tickets, popcorn, soda etc.
Of course, my wife is all dreamy about George Clooney, so I am also about to get kicked in the butt- and that is OK, I suppose!
Again, thanks for tipping me off to it being a clunker!

Yeah, watched a review of this movie on TV this afternoon and both critics said don't bother. But I guess there is one good thing about this movie being released in November, this turkey is just in time for Thanksgiving.

I'm at least old enough to remember when there weren't car commercials before the film. And when people actually went to theatres. Everyone my age just downloads rips of movies when they come out on DVD/Blu-ray. I guess less Internet-savvy people and those who care about copyright infringement still go.

There is an entirely different feeling when watching anything, in a large group, and when watching the same thing alone, or in a very small group.
Theory is that it has something to do with the human being's ability to survive and thrive as a member of a group, whether it is a family, a villiage, a tribe, a BHO, or any of the other primitive societies to which mankind naturally gravitates.
We enjoy each other's joy.

Being from NJ, the F bomb is the state word used as liberaly as on the Sopranos. It's a nound, pronoun, verb, adjective, sign of affection, astonisment, discontent and so on. The perfect word ;)
No offense taken by the word at all and makes me homesick.
