The Men Who Stare at Goats!
 

I saw this film again last weekend...an excellent movie. ;)

THE MEN WHO STARE AT GOATS - HD Trailer - YouTube

It's based on facts even though it's a comedy the US Military researched what was in the film - believe it or not.

Re: The Men Who Stare at Goats!
 

Saw it when it first came out, interesting and thought provoking. And funny.

Re: The Men Who Stare at Goats!
 

Have you read the book it's based on? That scene at the start where the soldier tries to run through a wall and smacks his head actually happened according to the book all the characters in it are based on real people.

Re: The Men Who Stare at Goats!
 

Remote viewing is an interesting topic.
Ingo Swann is the man who was used by the US military, and who trained others.
He died very recently.
Ingo Swann - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

Remote viewing is a type of out of body experience (OBE)
(don't scoff - it happens - even Jaysay has had one)

There are plenty of videos on youtube if the subject interests you.

Re: The Men Who Stare at Goats!
 

No, don't tend to read the book if I've seen the film and vice versa. I recently read The Psychopath Test by the same author and would like to read some of his other stuff eventualy.

Certainly have Margaret nearly 30 years ago, still a little chilly when I think of it today

Re: The Men Who Stare at Goats!
 

I remember when my body was supple enough not just to stare at goats, however that's all I ever did, missed chances of youth eh? I could have made the headlines in the sun.

Re: The Men Who Stare at Goats!
 

Not to mention Farmers Weekly.

As the actress said to the bishop "Look what popped up in the Peel Park Hotel this afternoon" :rolleyes:


So you'll not be going here for a dose of the heeby-jeebies Mr J ;)

Re: The Men Who Stare at Goats!
 

You weren't the type who stared at sheep as well where you Less! :rolleyes:

Re: The Men Who Stare at Goats!
 

I've had a few psychic dreams that definately for told future events in my own life but it doesn't seem that these abilities can be controlled and made to work for order. As far as my experience has been.

Re: The Men Who Stare at Goats!
 

No I was commenting on an Out of body experience Mr. D, never have had much time for that type of session:D

Re: The Men Who Stare at Goats!
 

Well SueJo will be putting Cissy Greens pies on ;)
I'll have yours ;)

I'm going to commune with Walter for our monthly management meeting. :D

Re: The Men Who Stare at Goats!
 

And his cat Lucky:D

Re: The Men Who Stare at Goats!
 

Hey it's the Peel Park not the Hell Fire Club:D

I'll get Dave J to check his buildings insurance cover just to be on the safe side J ;)

And with SueJo's yappy little mutts they'd be fighting like the proverbial.............. :(

Re: The Men Who Stare at Goats!
 

Give my regards to Dave and Sue ain't seen um for years

Re: The Men Who Stare at Goats!
 

Will do J :D
Did you know Dave had a minor stroke last year? He's Okeydokey now... cut back on work, lost weight generally taking care of himself.
Taking care of himself :cool: bit of a contradiction here *chuckle* he's in Las Vegas with Clive Wallwork as I trype :rolleyes:
He looks well and is OK though :D

Re: The Men Who Stare at Goats!
 

Clive Wallwork now that's another name I haven't heard for years, along with John Chapman, Steve Dukes, Stan the Man (can't remember his last name, lived near Enfield cricket club) Barry Haworth, are they still knocking about?

Re: The Men Who Stare at Goats!
 

Baz Haworth is alive and well living with Ali' Coo in Lanzarote they get back here couple of times a year, usually arrange to see em' in the Peel with Mick Bull and gang:cool:

Re: The Men Who Stare at Goats!
 

Met Clive W in Leeds last month, realised we knew quite a few of the same folk and was led to reminisce about the gorgeous Julie who used to work in Plus 2 later marrying Rod Hill.. Ahh if only I still had hair to wash.:rolleyes:

Re: The Men Who Stare at Goats!
 

Is that the Alison Coo who worked at Melbourne House for a while? I recall that she was a fitness enthusiast.

Re: The Men Who Stare at Goats!
 

Still see Rod and the delectable Julie.... she's still a looker :cool:
Now don't get me wrong and it was another time...but when Rod had his shop on Abbey Street post Warriors..it was always full of schoolgirls.
That's why we called in !!! ;)
Julie was only 14 or 15 I recall....
Keir Starmer would be investigating him now
This is something Mick Bull/Baz Howarth, Jimmy Gabbott and even Chinny at Plus2 have drawn to his attention many a time. Rod always gives a sardonic and inscrutable smile.

Re: The Men Who Stare at Goats!
 

The very one..... good squash player as of course was Baz :)

Re: The Men Who Stare at Goats!
 

How on Earth can we extract the pee from birdman when everyone is wandering so much?

Re: The Men Who Stare at Goats!
 

Little known fact: Baz could exercise his own psychic abilities and, following some intense concentration, stand up and runs headlong through a solid wall at Cloggers.
I saw him do it

Re: The Men Who Stare at Goats!
 

A few peeps have messaged me on here saying they too saw him do just that at the Wheeltappers & Shunters Squash Club in Leyton Blackpool.

Re: The Men Who Stare at Goats!
 

when i saw the name of this film i thought it was a remake of the 1972 welsh classic "men who stare at sheep "
