‘Men Who Stare at Goat’ Trailer Actually Features Goat Staring

I thought that Men Who Stare at Goats was just going to be one of those movies where the title is a metaphor for something, and never translates literally in the film. Well, that’s until I watched George Clooney kill a goat with his mind just now.
I’ve no idea what this movie is or where it came from, but it’s got a solid cast including Kevin Spacey, Jeff Bridges, Ewan McGregor, Aaron from 24 and Clooney. I was stunned to find out that this is in fact not a Coen Brothers film. Which in my opinion is for the best. Psychic Jedi U.S. Army soldiers? Sign me up.

Apparently this is based on true events. Pretty rad.
This movie is based on a book by the awesome Jon Ronson. http://www.jonronson.com/goats_04.html
He also wrote an excellent book called Them: Adventures with Extremists.
Both are non-fiction that are oddly enough about exactly what their weird titles suggest they would be.
