Watched 'The men who stare at goats' the other day. Very funny. If you ever saw 'Mash' on film or the TV series you'll love this. Brilliant cast. I just love the concept of using New Age philosophy to eliminate the need for armed combat by training special troops in psychic warfare. Bit like Headology I suppose.

I watched that as well. Very good indeed. George Clooney is excellent in it.

Ah! Gorgeous George One of his best movies. Always a treat to see Kevin Spacey also. I'm sure I saw the DVD of this in a charity shop recently....if i could only remember which one

[Dotsie]

I'd heard about this story before the film was made, so I was mad keen to watch it, but I just couldn't get into it

I read the book about 3 years ago but I can't remember much about it
but the film was very enjoyable

I got a 3 DVD box set of movies from Lidl the other day for a fiver. District 9, Moon and a film I'd never heard of called Knowing with Nicolas Cage. I watched Knowing tonight and thought it started off really well. A really interesting idea that had me wondering where it was going.

And then the whole thing got completely pants and quasi religious with Close Encounters type aliens taking little kids away to save the human race (and rabbits - do aliens realise how much they breed? ).

I'm sure I'll enjoy the other two films. I saw Moon once when I was flying to Tucson and thought it was excellent and I've heard good things about District 9, but Knowing is dreadful.

I've read the book as well but not seen Men Who Stare At Goats.

I think District 9 & Moon are fantastic sci-fi movies.

These are my 2 favourite Nic Cage movies. Both from the 1980's, worth checking out if you've not seen.

That was to feed the kids with.

Or the other way round.

To Serve Man.

Yummy.

My thoughts exactly. Two hours of my life I'll never get back.

I loved The man that stared at goats, when we watched it Emi was in tears with laughing, and me too.

The only notable thing I've seen recently is a BBC representation of Much ado about nothing done in the 80s, and I loved it.

I went & saw Song For Marion yesterday, with my friend. I cried most of the way through it, it has got to be the most emotional film I've seen for ages. Terence Stamp is brilliant as the husband.
Having written that, we didn't think it as good as Quartet, story line better in that & more humour.

Oh yes, I forgot - the aliens sprouted wings at the end and turned into angels.
