And, the comedy is really well-done; with a number of funny bits and clever satire. However, the plot doesn't really go anywhere and kind of falls apart at the end.

Dann M Super Reviewer. Jun 07, What the hell have I just seen? The plot of the movie it's like weird and all over the place.

And I just don't like George Clooney, sorry, I just don't see the special that everyone in Hollywood talks about. Andreia C Super Reviewer.

The characters are not the strongest point but they are nice. The cast is spectacular, top players have unfortunately not used to its fullest, but that's ok.

At the end is a rare movie rarely gets laughs, but is acceptable, entertaining and have a good time. Rodrigo R Super Reviewer.

When it comes to cockamamie plots and plans to make America great again, nothing our government and the US military cooks up should surprise you.

Experiments in mind control, and yes, even "psychic assassins" seem pretty much par for the course. Ronson, a British journalist who has made his name exposing the weird and the wacky, here presents several of the more hare-brained schemes once consid.

Warrior Monks, brown notes, the horrors of Celine Dion and Barney are all covered here. My favorite line? I couldn't decide if Jim was being delightfully naive, infuriatingly naive, or sophisticatedly evasive.

At least that's the official story. My four-star review should in no way be taken as a recommendation. It seems as though plenty of people actively hate this book.

And, indeed, much of the information presented exists in a purely believe-it-or-not realm; evidence is scant, eyewitnesses shadowy.

Well, would you admit to participating in any of this crap? I, however, found it to be an entertaining read that left me shaking my head while reaching for a bottle of gin, mumbling aloud something along the lines of "Our tax dollars at work.

It is about what supposedly happens when new age super-abilities flying, invisibility, the power to stop a goat's heart by staring at it Since the military exists to destroy people and property, guess what they experiment with in attempts to gain these powers and apply them?

All kinds of names, dates, people and conversational bits are used to 'verify' the wildly gyrating content of the book. As with all new age material, though, nothing at all is verified.

Not only that, but I resent the author's ham-fisted attempts to tantalize the reader with scraps of information followed by a quick "I can't tell you any more.

The greatest mystery here is that this type of idiotic garbage ever got made into a movie. I hear it bombed and that just feels so very, very right.

I'd write more about the book, but I'm absolutely convinced they're monitoring my goodreads account May 04, Mizuki rated it really liked it Shelves: non-fiction , great.

I think this book actually is very funny, with a lot of 'maybe it's true, or maybe not so true' interesting information and details in it.

The book also points out how easily it can be for us to fall under the control of powerful suggestions, mind-control and other shit. People, be alerted!

The author manages to string together a long series of random tidbits in what appears to be a coherent manner, but ultimately there was no point to anything we as readers have learned.

They played a Barney song over and over! They played a Sesame Street song and the composer tried to sue for royalties!

Maybe the CIA killed someone once or maybe they gav So here's my problem with this book. Sometimes the author is praising the idea of alternative battle methods.

Sometimes he's mocking. Sometimes he's indifferent as a reporter. Sometimes he is actively goading people into delivering absurd information.

It was entertaining, but by and large it didn't really deliver on its promise as an absurdly entertaining collection of information with a defined message of some sort.

Aug 01, Jim rated it it was amazing Shelves: humorous , thrillers , non-fiction. Jon Ronson looks at army intelligence experiments in psychic phenomena.

One of these experiments, refered to in the title, was to try to kill goats by concentrating on them, real hard.

Ironically, much of this stuff had its origins in the army's post-Vietnam funk, when esprit de corps was at its lowest ebb. A young colonel convinced his chain of command to allow him to study hippy philosophy as a potentially new ethic for a revived Army.

All that came of this was a field manual for something cal Jon Ronson looks at army intelligence experiments in psychic phenomena. All that came of this was a field manual for something called the "First Earth Battalion," which emphasized peace and love, empathy and psychology, over force; it also incorporated the new age psychic and therapeutic practices which had entered the popular culture of the 60s and 70s.

While top commanders took a pass, a few people, mainly in intelligence and special operations circles, were fascinated.

This interest was indirectly given a boost by George Lucas. Some of the soldiers and veterans Ronson spoke with likened themselves to Jedis.

Like a lot of Ronson's work, this book uses humor to draw the reader into some serious areas. The general who practices walking through walls with predictable results is amusing.

Military interrogators, playing the Barney theme song "I love you, you love me It's funny, but things get subtly and progressively disturbing, until we find ourselves in Abu Ghraib, and suddenly it's not funny at all.

Ronson relates how the hippy-dippy approach to winning hearts and minds evolved into an emphasis on interrogation and brainwashing, using loud music, subliminal messages, psychological humiliation, psychotropic drugs, and far, far worse.

One might ask, if a self-described British humor journalist can ferret out this stuff, why can't the big-time, serious journalists do it, too?

Granted, some of Ronson's story is wide open to interpretation. Some of it is just beyond bizarre, and in that may lie the answer to the question.

Reporting on intelligence and national security matters is difficult. Legitimate intelligence is not conducted in the open, and so-called black ops, even less so.

Plus, there are laws governing the dissemination of classified material. Yet, some of the awfulness of Abu Ghraib was photographed by the perpetrators and splashed all over the media; some of the unpleasantness at the detention center at Guantanimo has been hinted at.

It makes a sensation, and then goes away. Part of the difficulty in reporting this is the problem of defining torture.

Are stress positions torture? Loud music? Solitary confinement? The fact that we use these techniques to train our own special forces soldiers further complicates the question.

Also, given the past actions of some captives, it's sometimes tempting to deny pity for them. It's relatively easy to label as torture the infliction of pain and write about it.

But what about a feeling of hopelessness arising from not knowing whether one will ever be released? That's harder to convey in a soundbite. Ronson brings up a particularly insightful point when he states that, when confronted with challenging revelations, we fit it into what we already know or think we know ; what doesn't fit, we discard.

We all do it to some extent, and journalists are no exception. Many of the journalists I have known are a little lazy in their jobs like many of us , and would prefer to go for the easy cliche than anything challenging a preconceived worldview.

Ronson points out that we already accept the concept that the CIA does nasty things, that war brings out the worst in some people.

We are appalled by the idea of torture, but we've seen it on 24 with that hunky Jack Bauer, so it doesn't appall us that much.

This demonstrates that a story will be subsequently shaped by the way in which it is first spun. Also, when reporters found out that the Barney song was part of the supposed torture, it all seemed too funny to be taken seriously.

We like the idea of terrorists being subjected to the purple dinosaur; after all, our kids have made us sit through it.

Mar 05, Nicole rated it liked it Shelves: nonfiction. I had this book on my radar because of a review I saw soon after it came out, long before they made the movie.

But I saw the movie before I got around to buying the book. I like the movie a lot; it makes me laugh.

I looked at Jim Channon's and Lyn Buchanan's websites; got Google pages full of results for "remote viewing", "PsyOps", and other terms and people; and saw that Amazon sells copies of Lyn Buchanan's and Joe McMoneagle I had this book on my radar because of a review I saw soon after it came out, long before they made the movie.

Any good idea can possibly be warped into something dangerous. There are always people within any large group who are willing to try anything, so I believe that people within the government and the military have considered an idea like remote viewing for their arsenals.

I know how certain sounds I consider unpleasant affect me, so I believe that prisoners have been subjected to sounds or music.

But there are a lot of things that no one can prove or disprove in the book. Channon, Buchanan, and others may be sincere While there is a weird fascination factor to reading the stories of people far out in left field, we can't know if they're true; and many of the folks featured in the book are downright shifty.

There are people who believe in remote viewing even though none of the visions they, or people they know, have had ever came true.

There is no proof that anyone ever stared a goat--or even a hamster--to death. It's like any other matter of faith--it requires faith, because you can't prove it.

While Ronson's attempt to tie certain events to Channon's "FEB" writings is interesting, I think he spent too many pages on the mystery of what happened to Eric Olson's father.

Ronson certainly showed how Eric's life had been taken over by the mystery; but the teenage bike trip story and some of the rest of it seemed more like a tangent.

The end of the book sort of fizzles out. About the movie: Consider the movie "inspired by" the book. Certain parts of the book--mostly the funnier incidents--were incorporated into the movie's plot.

People's names were changed in some way; people's actions and attributes were blended to create movie characters; and events were created to further the plot.

Ronson never got to tag along with anyone on a trip to Iraq and never engaged in any daring escape attempts. The documentarian examines how the US military intelligence community has attempted to make use of paranormal and extra-sensory techniques and how this has impacted the war on terror today.

He interviews people such as Guy Savelli, martial The documentarian examines how the US military intelligence community has attempted to make use of paranormal and extra-sensory techniques and how this has impacted the war on terror today.

He interviews people such as Guy Savelli, martial arts teacher who claims to have the Death Touch and to be able to kill goats by staring them to death, and who works with the US military.

He talks with former members of the Stargate Project, a US-funded program that attempted to develop telepathy. He interviews General Albert Stubblebine, who apparently firmly believes that walking through walls is possible with the right mindset.

He looks into the very dark secrets of MK-ULTRA specifically Operation Artichoke, which attempted to subvert wills through forced drug use and hypnosis , and interviews a man who believes his brother, Frank Olson, was murdered over fears he would reveal it to the press.

Sep 24, Austin rated it it was amazing. Jon Ronson is a bloody mad man willing to research the most interesting topics.

Throughout this book I once again realized why I became a social worker and not a soldier. I do not deal well with pain or super jocks who like to wrassle to prove their virility.

I'm more like a nebbishy nerd who would rather read than inflict PSYOPS, physical torture and kill people in the name of fr Jon Ronson is a bloody mad man willing to research the most interesting topics.

I'm more like a nebbishy nerd who would rather read than inflict PSYOPS, physical torture and kill people in the name of freedom.

However I would like to get down on the Jedi Warrior program. I am pretty sure I could cloud burst and drop goats with my mind already and growing up taking mail order ninja classes I have mastered invisibility.

I'm a confirmed Jon Ronson fan. It's slightly less coherent than his best work but still contains Jon's customary knack of uncovering stories which hold up a mirror to just how bizarre life on planet Earth can be.

Jon insists all that this book contains is true, and frankly it's too bizarre to be invented. By way of example, early on we meet Major General Albert Stubblebine III in Arlington, Virginia, who is convinced he can walk through walls despite repeated failure, and a secret unit in which psyops soldiers stare at goats with the aim of killing them.

If that sounds improbable, wait until you read about Lieutenant Colonel Jim Channon who, post Vietnam, set up the First Earth Battalion whose soldiers, it was proposed, would greet people with sparkly eyes and give the enemy an automatic hug.

Jon Ronson draws a line from this idealism to the techniques employed at Guantanamo Bay, and the torture and prisoner abuse at Abu Ghraib. It's depressing, jaw dropping, sporadically funny, and plain bizarre.

Shelves: history. Every year a friend of my roommate comes here from Canada to attend a bookseller's convention downtown and every year he brings the two of us books from his store in Manitoba.

Even though I'd seen the movie, I hadn't known there was a book behind it nor that its author, Jon Ronson, had also authored the book on political extremism that Mike Miley had had me read a couple of years ago while visiting him in California.

This film is both strange and funny, and frighteningly, partly or mostly? The cast does an excellent job portraying these very off-the-wall characters, who are based on real people or compilations of real people.

The premise of the film is a story about men who were, supposedly, part of a U. As I viewed the film, I felt a combination of utter disbelief, amusement and some horror at the fact that these people actually believed in what they were doing and accomplishing.

Fortunately, the film expertly walks that fine line between the seriousness of the characters and the absurd humor that springs from their beliefs.

While this is definitely in the category of a "weird film," it is quite funny and enjoyable, and I'm glad I purchased it. Great casting, amusing comedy film about psi-ops used in the military to try big emphasis on try to undo the enemy with psychological warfare.

Lots of cameos of character actors in this film from that a decade later you see in more prominent roles in , example Nick Offerman of Parks and Recreation.

Loved the last scene of our main narrator See all reviews. Top reviews from other countries. This is one of the funniest films I've ever seen.

It's heart well and truly in the right place, Ewan takes us on this gloriously daft adventure into the more 'interesting' elements of American military history.

Both Jeff Bridges and George Clooney give epic performances. There is so much to love about this film, I don't know where to begin.

Often original and laugh out loud funny, it actually to some extend reminded me of the military school I went to plus all the drugs.

Just one point of nerdism from me: The all seeing eye is not 'the symbol of the Jedi'. Wonderful film, and gives me faith in mankind. The Men Who Stare at Goats is a seriously under-rated film with mental chuckles almost every second of the way.

Those looking for banal belly laughs should probably avoid this flick, but anyone with a relative or friend who was or still is affected by flower-power, or who has served in any of the armed forces is in for a good time from the second scene on.

The first scene helps set up the second scene, so don't worry. You'll catch on pretty quickly. If you have never experienced military discipline, just use a parallel path: was school routine full of serious nutters in charge and your class mates included some odd-balls, weirdos and eccentrics who provided light relief?

If so, this celluloid on a DVD will suit you too. The Men Who Stare at Goats has a cast list that provokes the question: why? The answer: they must have been lining up to take part in this cerebral adventure-cum-comedy.

The plot involves a time warp that brings together Hippy-dom and Psy-Ops to fight a war that is definitely current. The movie provokes thought too.

Politically "correct" behaviour is put under the microscope. How do we view conflict and conflict resolution are subjects that come under scrutiny, so the audience will have something to ponder for quite a while.

But that is not the point: this flick is for fun. Yes, it works. Fans of Mr Bean might prefer a different product. A pleasantly amusing film to whiter away an evening.

A smart little script with a lot of good laughs and an excellent cast. Switching between the training of hippie commando's in the 80's and a current mission in Iraq the film passes nicely and brings you into the characters story.

Bridges and Spacey who play the hippie commander and snake in the grass bad apple get less screen time but make their presence felt.

All in all nice little film and recommended. Report abuse. The film is great but it is not in high definition despite it being on a Blue Ray disc it is only p.
