FIRST EARTH BATTALION The Real Story Pt.2 By Jim Channon

Gorgeous George Stares At Goats Clooney becomes a psychic soldier Source: Variety Gorgeous George Stares At Goats We suspect that usually George Clooney’s stare only makes him a ladykiller, but today, he’s signing on for a different task: killing goats with only the power of his mind.

The film’s based on the book all about the events by journalist Jon Ronson, with a script by How To Lose Friends and Alienate People’s Peter Straughan.

Story of a Sign?

Someone sent me an e-mail with a link to a You-Tube video called The Story of a Sign. I guess it originally was at flixxy.com, because that was where the link took me to, but
it was a You-Tube video. Anyway, It says it is no longer available. No matter how often I search, I can’t find a place to view it. It said it was a winner at the Cannes Film Festival.
Any tips or ideas as to why I can’t view it, and/or where I could possibly view it?
