Men Who Stare at Goats

The book...


is excellent.

The movie...



appears to be a typical Hollywood rip-off.

The book is serious (though funny in a bizarrely disconcerting way).

From the preview, it looks like Hollywood has taken the book and turned it into a joke. That's a shame. Because a government who sponsors the kind of idiotic military "thinking" that Jon Ronson documented, needs to be carefully watched and controlled. This movie will make the whole thing look so silly that nobody would even bother to think about the very real fact that in the real world the U.S. military funded this kind of stuff.
