South Park Creators Have A New Film

Posted by michael on from the they-killed-kenny dept.

Vince C writes "Trey Parker and Matt Stone are back to filmmaking again. No, it is not a South Park movie and no they are not acting. In fact, it is a totally different media... marionettes. Yep! Puppets folks. They are making Team America:World Police. If you liked the original Thunderbirds and hate the live action remake but also love comedy sticking it to our current government then you are going to love Matt and Trey's new project. Trailer and more info at the movie's site."

    Screw Thunderbirds, this would be even cooler if it were in the style of Thundercats.

    I mean, besides the obvious fact that Thundercats was a cooler show, cats kill birds, it's a fact of nature. Plus, you know, there's Cheetara.

    I like my internet like god intended it, text and pictures.

    What do you mean, text and pictures? God didn't intend there to be no pictures on the net.

    Lady Penelope.... now that's a bird I wouldn't mind thundering! Seriously though, I Matt and Trey are usually really good at finding good targets to aim at - evidenced by South Park ... so I'm looking forward to this.

    So I guess the fairly common phrase 'Puppet Strings' is a bit of a misnomer then?

    Yes, and people who like Bush usually find marionette shows to provide deep and insightful analysis of world events. This should be a big win all round!

  16. The most interesting thing... by abkaiser · · Score: 2, Funny
    All talk of "libertarianism vs. conservatism" or "marionettes vs. puppets" aside, the part I found interesting was reading the "About the Film" section, page 2, talking about Matt and Trey:

    "But they've never before done it with marionettes."

    ...and there was no joke immediately following!

    I learned something today. /.-er's will argue about anything. How can we figure out what side of the political spectrum Matt and Trey are on? What would Brian Boitano do in this situation?
