nonionayWatched The Men Who Stare At Goats. It was funny, if occasionally filled with "oh, hippies, you hurt my brain," moments, some of which were unintentional. (Mainly at the end.)
Here's a nice review discussing the realities the movie was based on, which wasn't all psychics and woo woo stuff.
I was pleasantly surprised at the level of self-awareness. (They call themselves Jedi, in a movie starring Ewan MacGregor. Anyone who's read Sith Academy will have a "Mr Fluffy, noooooo!!" moment, not that the writers intended that.)
In other news, I'm indulging myself by writing about characters from my older books, which I probably won't get around to rewriting for years. I actually had a coherent plot in mind, but then this other character showed up, the plot went out the window and the characters went out for drinks. But if I ever do get the novels published, this will totally be an "aw, look at when they first met!" story that people will eat up.
