With so many tales of military heroism left to tell, Clooney and Company choose this…

“But “The Men Who Stare at Goats” is inspired by a “true” story,” they’ll say…

But why is it always these kinds of “true” stories that get picked?

UPDATE: A message to you “C’mon lighten uppers”:

Want to know when I’ll stop being a wet blanket about these “‘c’mon, lighten up, it’s just a” comedies? When for every 5 of these where I’m told “Relax it’s just a movie,” there’s ONE that treats these incredible men and women with the respect and reverence they deserve.

One of five, 20 measly percent, that’s all I’m asking for.

Then I’ll lighten up.

In the meantime, Hollywood can go to hell.
