Re: New movie from creators of South Park!

Very interesting!    I'm going to try to download the trailer to see what it's all about.   Have you seen the trailer yet?   If so, can you give us the scoop?  Personally, I always loved South Park.  One of the few cartoons that could make me laugh myself sick!   big_smile

Re: New movie from creators of South Park!

this movie looks GREAT!

the 'scoop'

this movie will be so good in these times;
heres the basic premise;

All of the characters in this movie are PUPPETS!!!
yes, i love this idea because it metaphorically shows what the elite and power player really are.

beyond that, i dont really know what the movie's plot is, but i get a hunch its gonna cover a wide variety of sensitive subjects that have engulfed american society in the recent years.

question; when's it come out ?

The Movie "Team America: World Police" is due out in mid-October - two weeks before the election.

It looks like it will be hilarious, timely, thought-provoking, and on-target.

I saw the trailer in the movie theaters before the AVP movie.  It's powerful to see on the big screen!

Here is the voice over:

We live in a time of unparalleled danger.

Weapons of mass destruction are being offered to terrorists all over the world.

Global chaos is about to consume every country on Earth.

And there is only one hope for humanity . . .

(end of voiceover)

                    TEAM
                 AMERICA
             WORLD POLICE


Freedom hangs by a thread.

Here is the trailer (in Quicktime):

Re: New movie from creators of South Park!

Well, the creators of "Team America" (Trey Parker and Matt Stone)  have stirred the ire of Sean Penn.   No surpise there.  Everybody stirs the ire of Sean Penn.   But Mr. Penn lashed out due to some comments Matt Stone said in "Rolling Stone" Magazine which were: ""If you don't know what you're talking about, there's no shame in not voting."

Penn responded with, "It's all well to joke about me or whomever you choose. Not so well, to encourage irresponsibility that will ultimately lead to the disembowelment, mutilation, exploitation, and death of innocent people throughout the world."

Sean Penn apparantly REALLY believes that A)  The election process in America is exactly what they tell us it is,  B) Voting is legit;   and C)  If you don't vote, (ie, skip out on voting for John Kerry) it WILL in fact, make a difference.   

All we can do is wait and see.  I'm sure Kerry will win the election and when he does, we'll have to see whether or not this country and world become a better place.  All the Dems are so certain that all we need is Kerry, and everything will miraculously turn around and this country will go back to the state that it was in during the Clinton years.   But if it doesn't.....and the rest of us conspiracy theorists are right, then a big fat "I told you so" is in order.  sigh.

Here's the article:

(I thought I'd post it here since the story primarily revolves around this new "Team America" movie......)

Re: New movie from creators of South Park!

I'm hoping to see this movie this weekend. Matt Stone and Trey Parker are masters of satire. South Park is the only TV show that I can still laugh at. While some of the humor on SP is downright silly and gag-related (fart jokes), the commentary on politics and society is always spot on. Stone and Parker will make fun of anyone who claims to have the answers to the world's problems.
