bokonon Posted October 16, 2004 Report Share Posted October 16, 2004 intellectual funny or trailer park boys funny? not that there is anything wrong with the trailer park boys, i just want to know what i am getting in to. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
doug Posted October 17, 2004 Report Share Posted October 17, 2004 Haven't seen it yet myself, but I seriously doubt it is gonna be intellectually funny. Probably more trailer park boys funny. My initial impression from the ads and media I have seen is that it is very much a "USA=hero, commies&Arabs=terrorist villain" type of movie probably released just in time to encourage american voters to vote for Mr Bush. If anyone has seen it yet I would like to know if my assessment is close to accurate or very much out of line. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rob Not Bob Posted October 17, 2004 Report Share Posted October 17, 2004 It actually has a mix of intellectual hidden within the TPB funny ... Doug, gotta say your initial impression of the ads is off base, it is *far* from pro-Bush, pro-USA, what it is is a devastating parody of that attitude ... not wanting to give away too much or the, errr, "plot", there is a scene where Team America are taking out terrorists in Paris . Team America manages to destroy the Eifel tower, the Arc De Triomphe and The Louvre with their heavy handed approach to get the terrorists and stand around congratulating themselves and patting themselves on the back while French citizens look horrified and the soundtrack plays "America! fu©k Yeah! Coming in to save the day!" At the same time, it attacks zealots on both sides of the argument, but it is definitely not a "Hooray for the USA" movie. During the scene where the two puppets have sex, I thought I'd die laughing RnB Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
B & Z Posted October 17, 2004 Author Report Share Posted October 17, 2004 South Park funny. It's very crude but also full of satire. Steve Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Guess this is just more proof of how the media can influence public perception and we should pay close attention before deciding on certain issues Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Patchoulia Posted October 18, 2004 Report Share Posted October 18, 2004 This film is unadulterated genius, no question. Yes, there is some incredibly low-brow humour, but it's used in a way that is brilliantly satiric. There's "lowest common demoninator" sex, violence & humour in pretty much every movie nowadays and this film's use of the aforementioned conventions does so in a way that mocks them all. The entire film is a wickedly biting satire of American jingoism, action films & the hubris of Hollywood, western society's misguided social & cultural choices for heroes and much, much more! And, for the ladies, quality cock jokes. Good times! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Tonberry Posted October 21, 2004 Report Share Posted October 21, 2004 Another key moment: "Do you remember the Signal?"or "Matt Damon..." Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
bouche Posted October 21, 2004 Report Share Posted October 21, 2004 MATT DAMON! I read that his puppet came back from manufacturing and they saw it and said "That doesn't look like matt damon. He looks Retarded!" So, they decided to give him a little disability. KOOKS! Another set of lyrics... I miss you more than Michael Bay missed the mark, When he made Pearl Harbor. I miss you more then that movie missed the point, And that’s an awful lot girl. And now, now you've gone away, And all I'm trying to say, Is Perl Harbor sucked and I miss you I need you like Ben Affleck needs acting school, He was terrible in that film. I need you like Cuba Gooding needed a bigger part, He's way better then Ben Affleck. And now all I can think about is your smile, And that sh!tty movie too, Perl Harbor sucked and I miss you (Interlude) Why does Michael Bay get to keep on making movies. I guess Perl Harbor sucked, Just a little bit more then I miss you. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
