    Might as well watch the real clips, seeing how no one is watching the movie based loosely on them.

    I still prefer my title to theirs, "Movie That Plays In Empty Theaters." #menwhostareatgoats

    I've got to tell you, watching the second video makes me want to learn how to use "the predator"

    I know two of the points he mentioned just by having older brothers. There are a couple of nerve points on your wrist that can be connected by smacking across the top of your wrist bones. You can do it with a finger, and it hurts like hell. #menwhostareatgoats

    I suppose that if anyone wants to stare down a goat, he or she should ask Crocodile Dundee how to go about it. He stared down a bull and a bunch of dogs, and he learned that from the bush natives.

    I swear it's true. I saw it in a movie or two. #menwhostareatgoats

    In reply to Ewan McGregor Finally Made A Decent Star Wars Movie
    This was a really good movie, better than critics are admitting, and EW is a joke. How could you not a like a movie that lightly mocks the Bush administration, the war in Iraq and Afghanistan, Blackwater, and the military-industrial complex and weaves in a modern day Jedi story with tips of the hat to LSD, Hippies, Peace, Love, Boston, and dancing.

    The Air Force had a slogan for awhile called Aim High, could fit with this movie as well- "How do we turn our desire not to kill someone into a weapon?" Beautiful!

    Be all that you can be and go see this movie. #menwhostareatgoats

    I saw this movie last night, and I'm still trying to figure out if there was an actual plot. Granted, the acting was good - I loves me some Ewan McGregor - but the movie seemed a little scatter-brained. It's as if no one checked to make sure the film was coherent, with an actual arc - they just banked on the comedic talent of the actors to make it worth watching. It wasn't enough for me... #menwhostareatgoats

    I'm really, truly hoping that when one character mentions "dying of a broken heart" it's a shout-out to Padme's wuss out in the third prequel.

    I thought it was hilarious. Plus I’ll see pretty much see anything with Ewan McGregor. Did anyone else notice he seemed to have a hard time keeping his accent under wraps? #menwhostareatgoats

    @RandomFrequentFlierDent: I did notice that, actually.

    My favorite probably-shout-out was when someone said something to the effect of "Welcome to the Hero's Journey." Oh, Joe Campbell. #menwhostareatgoats

    You liked it much more than I did (the first hour and much of the present-day story was pointless), but I'm glad to see I'm not the only one who got the whole Star Wars narrative gimmick.

    I haven't seen the movie, but i'd argue that you're probably confusing monks and hippies.

    a "warrior monk" is not a contradiction in terms.

    a "Warrior Hippie" almost certainly is. #menwhostareatgoats

    The first picture of George Clooney put me in mind of Billy Ray Cyrus...

    Why, they could be bruthers!!

    I guess I've too many episodes of his daughter's show with my daughter.
