Team America, F*ck Yeah!

[DarkStar]

Okay, this movie looks/sounds awsome. It's by Trey Parker and Matt Stone, you know, the guys who do South Park. It's about a group called "Team America: World Police," that fights terrorism all over the world. Oh, and they're doing it all with puppets. Well, marionettes to be precise, sort of in the vein of the old show "Thunderbirds." Anyway,The main theme song is called "Team America, F*ck Yeah!" and somewhere in there is a harcore puppet sex scene.

I'm a huge fan of Southpark and I can't wait for this movie. If you can get past the crude nature of some of the jokes, there's actually some really smart social satire to be found at the core of South Park. They take shots at both the right and the left, which is one of the reasons I really love these guys' humor. I can't wait.

IGN had a bunch of photos up earlier but apparently Paramount asked them to take the pics down. I managed to save one and I'll attach it. Also, here's a hilarious set report from AICN:

Dude, the entire point is to MAKE FUN of Thunderbirds. If this movie blows I'll send you 50 bucks. Seriously.

 

[Direwolf]

Can't get campier than that.

No, the entire point is to make fun of the US foreign policy.

 

[DarkStar]

No, the entire point is to make fun of the US foreign policy.

Yeah, that too.

 

[Zerimski]

They're simply likening it to the Thunderbirds to give it more of a sting.

 

[Farrowlesparrow]

Thunderbirds was good anyway...

 

[Mechagodzilla]

This is what the new Thunderbirds movie should be!
Live-action my ass!

 

[Farrowlesparrow]

Yeah, and they ruined Thunderbird 2! (Its the only one I've seen in detail)

/me gives Andy a Halls

I used to watch Thunderbirds when I was a kid. I could never find the time that it was on, but when I did find it, it was fascinating.

The fact that the movie is being made by the two guys from South Park should be an indication of how crazy this movie could be.

I wounder what the last movie was that used only puppeteers?

 

[sHm0zY]

LOl i useto watch the thunderbirds. they are making a real life movie of the thunderbirds.. kinda looks stupid tho..

 

[mortiz]

That's one of the reasons why the show was so interesting for me. The creepyness made it cool. There wasn't a lot of that on TV then (still isn't much of it today either).
