The Men Who Stare At Goats
ScreenDaily.com ^ | 9-8-09 | Mike Goodridge

The Men Who Stare At Goats is a light-hearted and highly entertaining antidote to pompous large scale movies about Iraq or Aghanistan and ironically may be the biggest hit of them all. Grant Heslov’s nimble second feature, inspired by UK journalist Jon Ronson’s non-fiction book, explores a secret division of the US military trained in psychic powers.

Yeah. Alright. Jon Ronson can be fun and all, but I just don’t believe there is “a secret division of the US military trained in psychic powers”.

I think someone needs to listen to more Art Bell and George Noory! ;)

That looks like it could be a fun movie, but I’m not sure I want to contribute to George Clooney.

Don’t know if you’d consider remote viewing to be “psychic powers” or not, but there most certainly was a very serious effort to harness this form of anomalous cognition, termed “nonphysical perception,” for military purposes. Whether there still is, I can’t say.

It’s one of those fleeting, vague, out-of -the corner-of your-eye sort of things, for most people, but most people have at least limited ability to perceive nonphysically. There’s testing for it online, or once was. I played around with an online remote viewing test myself, years ago, through the Rhine Institute here in NC, http://www.rhine.org.

Got fairly good at it, too. Pretty simple. A blank, red screen, with a timer. You click on the area of the screen where you think the hidden dot is, and there are numerous screens in series, seems like twenty in all. I got pretty good at it, was in the top ten for the few weeks that it held my interest. My “trick” was to not focus directly at the screen, and when something twitched or darkened or flickered in an area of the red screen, I clicked on it. Focusing too hard blows it.

Wish I still had that link, I’d post it; but I don’t.

CLOONEY.

How are we ever going to treat these Hollywood libtards a lesson if we cave in a go see their movies just because one in ten actually seem somewhat interesting?

Parts of this were filmed at the Albuquerque Shooting Range (made up to look like a military camp in the desert). It was pretty cool. I’d check out the sets on my way to the skeet fields.
