The Men Who Stare at Goats

So, I went to go see this movie with this girl that seems to be somewhat normal. But, she's not the topic of this post ... if you couldn't guess by the title.

I had high hopes for The Men Who Stare at Goats. Unfortunately, like a double mocha cappuchino latte, no foam extra skinny (Which I later found out is similar to espresso ... but also compared to doing the kama sutra and stopping before the orgasm ... which is funny in its own right), I was left with a feeling of something being missed.

Now, don't get me wrong ... alot of the movie showed the big name actors under the influence of LSD. That brings quite the amount of slap-stick and situational humor.

I wasn't expecting too much of a story line ... given the far-fetched topic of the movie. But, when the end came around ... both my date and I were left with the feeling of ... 'that's it?' ... like we got the reach around but no dinner before hand ... left thinking something was missing.

So, with that in mind ... lets talk about the funny parts.

Jeff Bridges as a hippie and an avid LSD user made for some good laughs while we explored his transendance to creating the 'New Earth Army' that is the corner-stone of super-soliders.

While everyone was hilarious in their own rights ... Kevin Spacey really made the movie for me. (Although the creepy child molester smile from the Brigadier General was a close second)

Nothing like watching Kevin Spacey have the facial expression like he's taking a constipated crap while strung out on LSD staring at a little spider on his hand ... or where the tension is broken at the supposed climax by a aptly placed ...

'Wow, I'm hungry' then Kevin Spacey walks away.

I'm going to consider this a disappointment. However, my date and I did find a few others movies that we are probably going to see in the future ... so, it wasn't a complete waste of time.

Time to go find something more productive to do.
