Third Eye Spies, which has been in production for about three years (maybe more?) finally gets a cinematic release in the US, on Feb 2019, according to the latest episode of New Thinking Allowed.

This film was leaked as a rough cut on YouTube over a year ago and I saw it before it was pulled, but judging by the trailer in the video above, they've got new footage and a new graphical style. Hopefully, a better structure, too since the rough cut was a bit all over the place. As rough cuts often are.

Courtesy of the SPR Facebook page, Latino-Review Media ("By Fanboys For Fanboys") has some coverage of the forthcoming film, with a two-minute clip:

There's a review of the film by Nemo C. Morck on the SPR website:
https://www.spr.ac.uk/book-review/third-...nce-mungia

The reviewer expresses disappointment several times because the film doesn't include information he'd hoped to see, but ends on a fairly positive note:
I believe I knew too much about the history of remote viewing and the research to really appreciate Third Eye Spies, but I think it turned out quite well. One must acknowledge that it is really difficult to briefly cover the history, which, to some extent, is truly stranger than fiction.

A rather surprising thing to offer.
Quote:(CNN) — A son of Osama bin Laden is emerging as a leader in al Qaeda, the US State Department says, and it's willing to pay up to $1 million for information on his whereabouts.

I'm watching Third Eye Spies now. I guess I was expecting more of a truther style counter-punch to knock the skeptics back on their heels, but instead this is more of a calm meandering personal story about some of the key figures (Targ, Putthoff, Price, Geller, etc) with some key remote viewing hits sprinkled throughout. So although it is slower and a little less punchy than I'd like I am still very much enjoying it. I'm glad Targ got to live to see this released as it must mean a lot to him. I've mostly read/listened to these guys or to people talking about these guys so it is good to put faces to names and have all the visuals. A skeptic would come away with a better understanding of the history of the programs, but not necessarily have all of his questions and doubts addressed. Regardless, I think it will help move the ball down the field, and I'm glad to have it as a reference and to better cement some of the key facts into memory.

I've watched the film and it's very well made  but it was mostly a sort of "greatest hits" of the remote viewing program and that's about all  The only skeptic this would trouble was one who was unfamiliar with the literature (and goodness knows there's a lot of them) but it was nothing new to me  except a couple of quotes here and there. Certainly not enough to change my opinion that psi has no useful military function.

Alex Tsakiris has interviewed Lance Mungia, the director of the film:

I haven't listened to the interview, but the extract at the beginning of the Skeptiko thread talks almost entirely in terms of conspiracy theories rather than remote viewing experiments.

Pretty much the definition of Skeptiko these days.

Alex was definitely in full conspiratorial mode, linking the film to subjects like government cover-ups and mind/spirit duality and then something about UFOs – I didn’t quite follow that: it’s been a while since I listened to Skeptiko. Alex showed little knowledge of Project Star Gate itself, just using it as a leaping off point for other topics. It seemed to go all over the place, touching on a lot of stuff without ever really stopping to make sure if their assumptions about RV were justified. Near the end one of them mentions how few people have looked at the data which was interesting for me because I could tell that neither of them had.

Lance said a couple of things that are wrong. He mentioned that Hal Puthoff said something like 70% of the remote viewing documents are still classified.  This was a quote from a few years ago and 70,000 docs have been released since then. His more recent estimates have been that the vast majority of docs are now available. He also said that Ingo Swann remote viewed rings around Jupiter before they were discovered which, as far as I can tell, he never did.

Otherwise, a bit of a mess but at least it was and interesting mess.

EDIT: no idea what happened with the text size. Fixed it.
