Re: The Men Who Stare at Goats
It could be either but I wouldn't be suprised. It seems the author to the book hasn't credited those from whom he got some info. Jim Schnabel says Ronson plagiarized some of his book. Also a chap by the name of John Sergeant, from a story in the Independent, http://www.independent.co.uk/arts-en...m-1813635.html
Sergeant..."claims he spent two years in Los Angeles, from November 2001 to 2003, researching and gathering material for the TV series Crazy Rulers of the World, which was broadcast on Channel 4 in 2004, and from which Ronson's bestselling book was spawned." It's just a writer making a few quid and in my opinion the film wasn't actually anything worth shouting home about. Don't know about the book because I haven't read it. |

Re: The Men Who Stare at Goats
Thank you for the research Steve.
i agree the movie was mostly fluff. Comedy is a great distraction...but perhaps somewhere in there is something to hear... |
