Team America, Sean Penn, Terrorists
You can be old in the head at any age. Or vice versa.
That is among the most ignorant things I have ever read.
... you know, a </sarcasm> tag helps once in a while.
Just got back from Team America
Haven't laughed so much at a movie in years!!! Wouldn't take my eleven year old, but hey, that's just me.
Matt Damon's acting abilities are superb and Susan Saranwrap (even though she sounds like Miss Chockesondik) was wonderful. Sean Penn, as usual, put in a stellar performance and the cameo by film maker Michael Moore is not to be missed. Puppetry has definitely brought out the best in these actors!!!
Loved the kitties!!!!
My husband and I give it two thumbs up.
You do not want to allow that, I promise.
this movies sick humor gets accross the point better then the sick lies of 9/11(the movie)
Guess you didn't like the Bugs Bunny cartoons from 40's poking fun at Hitler
Or the three stooges comedy shorts making fun of mein schicklegroubber (yep, I can't spell worth a darn, espcially german slang)
I found nothing in the movie that would be offensive to those serving in our military, but hey, each to his own said the old lady as she kissed the cow (as my grandmother always used to say)
Just saw it. Its an ok flick. Nothing to write home about.
I just got home from seeing this movie. I have to say the second half was much better than the firsth half. It was amusing. Maybe my expectations were too high.
Exactamundo!
The creators of the film are in their mid-thirties, I believe, and so are a lot of their fans. Many in this age bracket, who had an extended adolescence (Generation X ex-slackers, and former punkers close to 40 - as Trey Parker describes himself), are settling down, raising familes, and having to deal with life-and-death issues for the first time in their lives.
Given the dreary socialist institutional drivel they've been subjected to during their formative years, anything anti-liberal is new and refreshing to them. Especially, as you point out, when delivered with a sense of humor.
lot's of Ps As and Ds.... and a BJ.... no kids.... great for adults... no kids seriously.
Kids will expand their vocabulary in ways that no parent will want them too.
" I forgot about how Gary "Proved" his commitment to get back on the team....."
Perhaps John Kerry could ask Gary if homosexuality can be a choice.
Yes. take Grandma if she likes a dirty joke... or twenty.
I've been telling everyone who asks about that scene that the bigger concern for children is probably the language, which is comparable to the South Park movie and involves near constant profanity. The notorious "sex scene" is just what others have said - anatomically incorrect ken and barbie dolls placed in suggestive poses. Some have made a big deal about the violence, which didn't bother me at all - it was outright funny in the Monty Python way - e.g. blood humorously squirting out the side of the Black Knight. But if your kids are not aware of profanity that could be a real shocker. Personally, I'd wait a few years on this film with an 11 year old. A reasonably mature 15 or 16 year old would have no problem seeing it.
In a way it reminds me of what Charlie Chaplin did to Hitler in his classic film "The Great Dictator." It came out right in the middle of a similar worldwide crisis as we're in today and accomplished great things because it so mercilessly lampooned the bad guy. The US and its later war effort didn't suffer any because of Charlie Chaplin. If anything, it reassured everybody that they were doing the right thing.
I'll just point out that George Will and William F. Buckley (just to name two quick, easy counter-examples, mind) don't post on the FR boards; and have, inarguably, "been thinking longer" on conservative matters -- and to more politically profitable ends -- than anyone else here.
While I suppose it's just barely conceivable there might be strange, stray variant of "conservative" out there, somewhere, who'd automatically count your own jottings as being "more valid," intellectually, than those of either of these giants, solely on the gorunds that you post on FR, and they don't: I wouldn't bet next week's grocery money on it, if I were you.
It's the most bucktoothed and unrepentantly addled "arguments," ultimately, which routinely prove the easiest to kill, skin and cook, in rebuttal. Bon appetit, as they say.
Its puppet sex. And is basically every porn movie (in terms of positions) ever made. The audience laughed so long watching it.
Sounds like somebody's got a bad case of "holier than thou" syndrome. Lighten up and have a little fun for once.
