Here's what Trey & Matt from South Park have been up to lately

the synopsis: "Marionette superheroes fight to end terrorism and put tired celebrities out of their misery."

http://fansites.baboom.us/teamamerica/index.htm

Apparently, this was born of a desire to show Bruckheimer et al that you can do an action movie without $200 million worth of explosives.

the site has a teaser trailer & various screenshots. Looks good. They're apparently rushing like fuck to get it out in mid-October, before the election.

Fuck the Thunderbirds movie; this will be the Real Deal, as it were.

The Official Site.

Nicole was mentioning this the other day and I was deeply pleased.

― Ned Raggett (Ned), Friday, 30 July 2004 21:37 (twenty-one years ago)

look out! here comes Osama!

― Kingfish von Bandersnatch (Kingfish), Friday, 30 July 2004 21:38 (twenty-one years ago)

apparently, some of the celebrities taken down are Susan Saradon, Tim Robbins, and a "mustard-stained Michael Moore".

oh i can't WAIT to see who adopts this for their own purposes...

― Kingfish von Bandersnatch (Kingfish), Friday, 30 July 2004 21:39 (twenty-one years ago)

oh yeah, and more info here.

apparently, Kim Jong Il will be the bad guy, and there will be musical numbers and a sex scene.

― Kingfish von Bandersnatch (Kingfish), Friday, 30 July 2004 21:49 (twenty-one years ago)

Hopefully, this will be funnier than the Sprite 'show'em my motto' commercials.

Seriously, this might be lame, Super Marionation was cool because it kept a very straight face which kept the uncanny factor maxed out for the duration of the movies. God, when those puppets would chuckle I would almost have to leave the room.

― Spencer Chow (spencermfi), Friday, 30 July 2004 21:58 (twenty-one years ago)

from the Aint it cool bit:

”They were actually too good,” Matt said. “These guys are amazing, and they made the puppets so they could articulate their mouths completely. Problem is, it just looks creepy when there’s that much motion going on. It was like a whole movie filled with Chucky. We found just the right balance. They can move their mouths very simply. Open. Closed. Smile. Frown. And they can move their eyebrows. Anything more than that gets really distracting.”
[...]
It’s not overtly silly or jampacked with obvious jokes. “We figured out pretty quickly that the more straight you play it, the funnier everything gets,” said Matt. “Watching puppets discuss life and death issues is just funny. Period.”

― Kingfish von Bandersnatch (Kingfish), Friday, 30 July 2004 22:31 (twenty-one years ago)

That's a promising statement.

― Spencer Chow (spencermfi), Friday, 30 July 2004 22:39 (twenty-one years ago)

i cannot fucking wait

meanwhile, if you turn on G4/TechTV right now, they're running a 3-day Thunderbirds marathon.

the pacing of the shows are...a little off.

You know, I am starting to have this hunch that after the South Park movie lightning is about to strike twice in a massive way here.

― Ned Raggett (Ned), Friday, 30 July 2004 23:51 (twenty-one years ago)

Can you explain a little more, Ned? I can't quite figure out what you're getting at ...

― dean? (deangulberry), Friday, 30 July 2004 23:52 (twenty-one years ago)

i'm of that opinion too, as long as they don't go overboard with the "CELBRITIES R DUMB LOL!!11" subplot...

― Kingfish von Bandersnatch (Kingfish), Friday, 30 July 2004 23:54 (twenty-one years ago)

sorry, what does ned mean?

― Masked Gazza, Saturday, 31 July 2004 00:00 (twenty-one years ago)

the SP movie was far, FAR better than it had any right to be, and one of the best flicks that year, too.

― Kingfish von Bandersnatch (Kingfish), Saturday, 31 July 2004 00:03 (twenty-one years ago)

Oh okay. To me that's a given though. I can't think of a bad thing
Trey & Matt have done.

― Masked Gazza, Saturday, 31 July 2004 00:06 (twenty-one years ago)

Yes even Orgazmo....
(ok that one's touch and go)

― Masked Gazza, Saturday, 31 July 2004 00:07 (twenty-one years ago)

"That's My Bush", their sitcom, was a bit of a mixed-bag.

Orgazmo rocked. New super-expanded DVD coming out soon!

― Kingfish von Bandersnatch (Kingfish), Saturday, 31 July 2004 00:08 (twenty-one years ago)

"That's My Bush": we haven't seen that in the uk yet

― Masked Gazza, Saturday, 31 July 2004 00:11 (twenty-one years ago)

Yeah, I think you may be onto something Kingfish and Ned ... my only concern is that they can keep this under 100 minutes. :)

― dean? (deangulberry), Saturday, 31 July 2004 00:30 (twenty-one years ago)

i bet a fiver that it'll be about 80-88 minutes.

and you should be able to find "TMB" thru p2p networks

― Kingfish von Bandersnatch (Kingfish), Saturday, 31 July 2004 00:49 (twenty-one years ago)

$10 on 98min ;)

― dean? (deangulberry), Saturday, 31 July 2004 00:52 (twenty-one years ago)

"That's My Bush" was great. Esp. the one where Laura thought that George thought that Laura's twat was a toxic waste dump. (That reminds me, must add "persqueeter" to the every-word thread.)

― Rock Hardy (Rock Hardy), Saturday, 31 July 2004 01:25 (twenty-one years ago)

Orgazmo rocked. New super-expanded DVD coming out soon!

Beautiful, I'm glad I held off on getting it.

― Ned Raggett (Ned), Saturday, 31 July 2004 02:43 (twenty-one years ago)

This looks awesome.

― Simon H., Sunday, 1 August 2004 14:21 (twenty-one years ago)

The 'NOW YOU'RE A ME-AAAAAOOON-ah' theme from Orgazmo redeems it anyway.

What was the name of that expensive web project thing they did that got canned because it was so obscene?

― Fergal (Ferg), Sunday, 1 August 2004 14:43 (twenty-one years ago)

i think there's two episodes of it on the Trio channel page.

I really do not think terrorism is funny

That's a bold statement for an official to make anonymously. Does he also like little birds as well?

― Ned Raggett (Ned), Monday, 2 August 2004 00:27 (twenty-one years ago)

The movie's official poster features an apparent Bush look-a-like [strings attached] with his back to the viewer.

yay! drudge is projecting again!

Matt and Trey's reaction to the reaction:
http://www.aintitcool.com/display.cgi?id=18082

Now I'm worried this film won't be offensive ENOUGH! Also, no Bush puppet?

― Simon H., Monday, 2 August 2004 14:29 (twenty-one years ago)

Well, then it would be nonfiction.

― Ned Raggett (Ned), Monday, 2 August 2004 14:42 (twenty-one years ago)

It rips on Hollywood actors. We thank the Bush admin for the the free press. I think you will think it's funny what happens to Janeane Garofalo.

that's the thing i worry about; that they'll spend the rest of the time harping on certain celebrities(note that the ones they list are all outspoken liberal activist-types) that the thing winds up being used by conservative fuckheads as proving their point.

― Kingfish von Bandersnatch (Kingfish), Monday, 2 August 2004 15:15 (twenty-one years ago)

I suspect they know what they are doing and that NOBODY looks good by the end.

― Ned Raggett (Ned), Monday, 2 August 2004 15:16 (twenty-one years ago)

we shall see.

― Kingfish von Bandersnatch (Kingfish), Monday, 2 August 2004 15:20 (twenty-one years ago)

This has just replaced Sky Captain as The Movie I Am Most Hype to See In 2004. I just sent my dad (with whom I had a great talk about Supermarionation after watching the ol' Thunderbirds the other day) a link, and I imagine his fervor may even top my own.

― nickalicious (nickalicious), Monday, 2 August 2004 16:20 (twenty-one years ago)

I think one problem with it will be that they will attack liberal personalities but conservative issues, and because their medium seems to lend itself to shallow interpretation the former will have greater impact than the latter.

― Dan I., Monday, 2 August 2004 23:25 (twenty-one years ago)

Also it's easier to make the filmmakers pussy out about things like the Bush administration's foreign policy, but obviously there's going to be zero pressure to, for example, not make Michael Moore look like a fat idiot.

― Dan I., Monday, 2 August 2004 23:29 (twenty-one years ago)

it's easier to make the filmmakers pussy out about things like the Bush administration's foreign policy

I understand your concern and all, but correct me if I'm wrong, this IS the same Parker/Stone combination that has not exactly been kindly towards our belov'd president in not one but two TV series so far for some time now?

― Ned Raggett (Ned), Monday, 2 August 2004 23:30 (twenty-one years ago)

Yeah but how hard could it possibly be on Bush if "As of now there is no Bush puppet in the movie, but we might put one in."

― Dan I., Monday, 2 August 2004 23:33 (twenty-one years ago)

As the trailer names Bush along with a ton of other people, I suspect Parker/Stone are being very intentionally disengenuous.

― Ned Raggett (Ned), Monday, 2 August 2004 23:38 (twenty-one years ago)

This might be really good. I always found there was something intensely creepy and disconcerting about super-marionation.

― Kim (Kim), Monday, 2 August 2004 23:49 (twenty-one years ago)

trey parker's republican right?

― cinniblount (James Blount), Monday, 2 August 2004 23:52 (twenty-one years ago)

The South Parks that have dealt with political issues have tended to come to a halt on a sort of amiable compromise that mocks both sides. The 'Little Bit Country' one where they conclude the liberals and conservatives need each other and have a singalong isn't as good as the one where the conservatives all keep shouting 'DA TIRK IR JIIIBS' and have a massive gay orgy to get rid of time immigrants though.

Given their track record I have faith that this will be sufficiently offensive.

― Fergal (Ferg), Monday, 2 August 2004 23:55 (twenty-one years ago)

I'm so looking forward to this...

They're basically just libertarians, right? They wish America didn't have to do all the over-the-top patriotic bullshit and acted with a little more intelligence but they'd still prefer a country that takes out bad guys to liberal peacenikism.

― miccio (miccio), Tuesday, 5 July 2005 21:31 (twenty years ago)

The AIDS song and the kitties were the best things about this movie.

― Jeff-PTTL (Jeff), Tuesday, 5 July 2005 21:36 (twenty years ago)

The kitties were the only good thing about this movie.

― milozauckerman (miloaukerman), Tuesday, 5 July 2005 21:37 (twenty years ago)

well, that's a little unfair. Ggreat things in the film:

- all the songs were pretty great (tho I think Bigger, Longer, and Uncut had better ones). Gonna need a MONTAGE!
- sex scene
- panthers
- all the camera-work and set-design were top notch
- all the dick jokes, scatalogical one liners, etc.

But the rest = crap.

― Shakey Mo Collier, Tuesday, 5 July 2005 21:39 (twenty years ago)

the dick jokes, sex scenes and songs were all pretty lame to me. But I'm not a South Park fan, so it's possible my sense of humor isn't compatible with Parker's/Stone's.

I like my lowbrow humor in the Jackass: The Movie vein.

― milozauckerman (miloaukerman), Tuesday, 5 July 2005 21:41 (twenty years ago)

Shakey OTM if I add 'anything else involving Kim Jong Il' to the list. "you're busting my balls, Hans, you're busting my balls!"

― miccio (miccio), Tuesday, 5 July 2005 21:42 (twenty years ago)

oh and any scene involving Michael Moore

― miccio (miccio), Tuesday, 5 July 2005 21:44 (twenty years ago)

did kids see this movie? did it do well at the box office?

one of the things that I found odd was that they would bother to make a film relying so heavily on such a specific parody (ie, Thunderbirds are Go). I mean, would anybody under the age of 20 even *recognize* Supermarionation? I can't see it having too wide an appeal, it seems like a joke only a tiny portion of the movie-going public would be likely to get.

x-post

― Shakey Mo Collier, Tuesday, 5 July 2005 21:45 (twenty years ago)

(oh, also the bit where the actor promises that he will never die just to get the pussy - that was probably the best-written scene in the whole thing)

― Shakey Mo Collier, Tuesday, 5 July 2005 21:46 (twenty years ago)

The thing about that South Park Conservatives book is how much it gets under the skin of the pious moralizers on the right, who confronted with a (still thoroughly obnoxious, I'd think) conservatism that isn't explicitly about 'god and country' per se react with combinations of disdain and grunting acceptance for reasons of political expediency. Not that quoted reference Goldberg can't do the pious moralizing thing himself, of course. ;-)

Still, it predicts something that had been mumbled about in various corners for years and is starting to find a greater articulation. And we're about to see more of it in the Supreme Court wars.

did kids see this movie? did it do well at the box office?

A few kids saw the film when I did, I remember -- early teens, etc. They larfed and had a good time. But the film itself was no major hit -- as I mumbled above, the week it came out, the number one film was in fact Shark Tale. Eurgh.

― Ned Raggett (Ned), Tuesday, 5 July 2005 21:49 (twenty years ago)

Definitely made back its budget, so no complaints from the suits, I'm guessing.

― miccio (miccio), Tuesday, 5 July 2005 21:51 (twenty years ago)

"I can't see it having too wide an appeal, it seems like a joke only a tiny portion of the movie-going public would be likely to get."

I think you are overestimating how much of the joke was Thunderbirds related vs. just plain puppet related.

― Alex in SF (Alex in SF), Tuesday, 5 July 2005 21:52 (twenty years ago)

x-post. I WISH this movie had no 'pro' but the climax of the film clearly posited Team America over Baldwin et al.

But it's also a parody of big-budget Michael Bay summer blockbusters. Team American have to win in the end -- there is no other possible ending.

― MindInRewind (Barry Bruner), Tuesday, 5 July 2005 21:53 (twenty years ago)

Still, it predicts something that had been mumbled about in various corners for years and is starting to find a greater articulation. And we're about to see more of it in the Supreme Court wars.

I'm curious about what you're talking about, Ned.

― Tracer Hand (tracerhand), Tuesday, 5 July 2005 21:56 (twenty years ago)

Basically, Tracer, will the GOP big tent hold together? Its demise has been predicted for a while so I wouldn't hold my breath, and 9/11 and after I think gave it a temporary lease on life. I'm suspecting a long overdue division though not outright fragmentation.

― Ned Raggett (Ned), Tuesday, 5 July 2005 21:58 (twenty years ago)

Barry, there didn't have to be a speech implying that Team America are preferable to Baldwin et al. They could have blown away the obnoxious stars without pausing for justification. The fact of the matter is that the politics of the makers WERE expressed - it was not a simply parodistic, destructive work, in part it actually BECAME a Bay film, if one that's (more) self-aware about its absurdity.

― miccio (miccio), Tuesday, 5 July 2005 21:58 (twenty years ago)

fair enough Alex, but even so, who under 20 is familiar with ANYTHING at all involving puppets? Its just no longer a prevalent medium. And it seems weird to me to make a movie making fun of conventions people aren't necessarily going to be familiar with. Its akin to a modern novelist parodying oh, I dunno, someone nobody ever reads anymore - Henry James or something. It may be well done and genuinely clever, but who would "get it" enough to really laugh at it?

(x-post)

― Shakey Mo Collier, Tuesday, 5 July 2005 21:59 (twenty years ago)

Shakey, you don't have to know what they're specifically parodying to find puppets in a blockbuster totally entertaining and goofy-ass.

― miccio (miccio), Tuesday, 5 July 2005 22:00 (twenty years ago)

sure, even so I'd like it if someone who has never seen Supermarionation would come on this thread and verify that. (and I readily acknowlegde that the universality of dick jokes goes a long way towards transcending specific genre parody boundaries...)

― Shakey Mo Collier, Tuesday, 5 July 2005 22:03 (twenty years ago)

that would be me, then. I've never seen a Supermarionation show in my life, just references.

― miccio (miccio), Tuesday, 5 July 2005 22:09 (twenty years ago)

hahahaha!

okay never mind.

― Shakey Mo Collier, Tuesday, 5 July 2005 22:09 (twenty years ago)

If Matt and Trey had chosen a side on the war and tried to get their views across in the film, it would be hypocritical of them to do so when they used the same film to make a point about actors and celebrities thinking they know all about politics and have to get involved just because they're famous. The ending can be explained by the action film parody side of the film anyway, the main characters have to win.

― Cressida Breem (neruokruokruokne?), Tuesday, 5 July 2005 22:32 (twenty years ago)

That doesn't make any sense. Parody doesn't have to match the original point for point. You can't just explain away the political viewpoint as 'oh it had to be that way' - there's absolutely no reason it had to end that way, other than it expressed exactly what Stone and Parker wanted to express.

― milozauckerman (miloaukerman), Tuesday, 5 July 2005 22:34 (twenty years ago)

"The ending can be explained by the action film parody side of the film"

which, JUST COINCIDENTALLY, happens to mirror the particular political opinions of the filmmakers as laid out in print interviews. gimme a break.

― Shakey Mo Collier, Tuesday, 5 July 2005 22:36 (twenty years ago)

the ebert review linked upthread echos a lot of my problems with the actors guild material in that they seem to be ridiculed for existing at all as opposed to what they say or how they express themselves.

If you set out to satirize such a broad and all encompassing issue as the America's "War on Terror," you can't really neglect certain factors, so it seems really weak and weasily for Parker and Stone to ignore the political right's shrill media manipulation as a target.

It's a shame though, for at least the 1st half the straight faced use of blockbuster action devices applied to current symbols of "terrorism" gave the film an energized sense of danger. The opening sequence of the little boy walking into a shadowy terrorist had a weirdly fun sense of manifesting peoples worst fears w/r/t terrorism. The exploding titles credit sequence that preceded this was also a nice gesture of mocking such spectacle while respecting the fun power of the form.

― theodore fogelsanger (herbert hebert), Tuesday, 5 July 2005 22:49 (twenty years ago)

"the actors guild is .... ridiculed for existing at all as opposed to what they say or how they express themselves"

yeah, and not too surprisingly, this stumbling block also has to do with the very public sentiments Parker and Stone express re: actors and acting in general. Which is to say Parker and Stone hate actors with a passion, they have no use for them, etc. They make a clumsy shot in the service of their own beliefs, rather than in the service of filmic satire.

The cynical part of me suspects that this hatred of actors stems from the same reasons they run a closed, non-union shop - ie, they hate dealing with people who want to be paid for their work and have opinions of their own (some of which may be better thought out than their own half-assed libertarian balonium).

― Shakey Mo Collier, Tuesday, 5 July 2005 22:58 (twenty years ago)

a closed, non-union shop

No such thing.

― giboyeux (skowly), Wednesday, 6 July 2005 00:05 (twenty years ago)

yeah sorry mixing up my terms there.

― Shakey Mo Collier, Wednesday, 6 July 2005 00:12 (twenty years ago)

Though South Park is occasionally very funny, I really really hate these guys, and I have always found them to be closet conservatives. I don't buy the "We make fun of everyone" defense.

― Hurting (Hurting), Wednesday, 6 July 2005 00:12 (twenty years ago)

probably because they don't actually make fun of everyone.

― Shakey Mo Collier, Wednesday, 6 July 2005 00:15 (twenty years ago)

But it's also a parody of big-budget Michael Bay summer blockbusters.

I can't see how you can bracket out the dumbing-down effect of Michael Bay type of movies on the general public, and to my mind, that's political - making people buy into these incredibly simple minded stories. The real message behind that speech/"analogy" at the end? It goes directly to those summer blockbusters, which are always drenched in romantic and patriotic nonsense but ultimately, they are just that dumb and reactionary - and completely Puritanical - so Parker/Stone give you the obscene version. Just like they replace the grand inspirational epic theme song with "America, Fuck Yeah!"

That's the politics of it: epic rah-rah patriotic blockbuster movies make people really.. stupid. (And Hollywood liberals messing in politics are treating people like they're stupid.) So trying to kill off summer blockbusters with this parody is a political act, I suppose.

― daria g (daria g), Wednesday, 6 July 2005 01:41 (twenty years ago)

― ambrose (ambrose), Wednesday, 6 July 2005 10:51 (twenty years ago)

i tend to really like Trey & Matt's sense of humor, since it follows much of mine. Their politics, not so much, but otherwise...

― kingfish (Kingfish), Wednesday, 6 July 2005 13:54 (twenty years ago)

Yes, the things I remember most about this film is that it's cripplingly funny, and completely gratuitious. I smiled for a long times yesterday after someone posted the lyrics to the song about how a) I miss you and b)Pearl Harbour sucked.

― JD from CDepot, Wednesday, 13 July 2005 01:27 (twenty years ago)

A friend from work was saying that in some interview (maybe on the dvd) that Trey and Matt said that they know Matt Damon and he really didn't want to be too dumb in the movie, but when they got the marionette back from the designers it looked incredibly dumb so they changed his lines to "MATT DAMON!"

can one of you send me the "asshole/pussy/dick" speech? while i know that not all of you enjoyed that speech, i thought it was hilarious and intend to use it (i'm a dick & asshole and my coworker's a pussy). haha if you don't mind, pls send to: me_bikeguy@hotmail.com

Can't be, 'cause they actually used "Push it to the Limit" for the Special Olympics episode, which is a pretty bizarre way to subvert the power of the original Scarface montage.

The other day they shut down Union Station for a couple hours (apparently for a "suspicious package") so driving past it on the way home I see everyone out in the street, a ton of cop cars, some fire trucks, a hazmat squad, police tape cordoning off the building. and what did I think of, but.. Hey terrorists! Terrorize this!!!

The Loft in Tucson had a July 4th Team America "sing-a-long." Packed theater too, and to state the obvious: having a theater full of drunk/high folks singing and shouting at all the ridiculousness made it a heck of lot more enjoyable. Twenty years from now, I suspect this will age about as well as a Mark Russell routine. Hell, I (along with the rest of the world) had completely forgot about Helen Hunt.

The vomit and panthers scenes are still really fucking funny.
