South Park Creators Have A New Film

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."

Southpark is GO!

F*** you, I'm just big boned, me lady!

[LqqkOut]

I hope there's a steamy nude scene with that hottie Lady Elaine... Whoah! Nevermind she's been supplanted by the nubile Queen Sara [pbskids.org]

Free Related Link... No, uh, strings attached!!! [puppetuniverse.com]

Ah, finally...

[iamdrscience]

From stop-motion construction paper cut-outs to stupid looking puppets. How far we've come!

ThunderBIRDS?

[iamdrscience]

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.

Being Matt Stone and Trey Parker

Puppets, eh? I hope they do the right thing and hire the best puppeteer in the world, John Malkovich [imdb.com].

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.

Now go and download yourself a copy of Lynx or STFU.

"Our" current government?

[Gothmolly]

What about the rest of the world, you insensitive clod!

Re:Marionets are NOT Puppets

[Hogwash McFly]

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

Re:I cant wait.

[Anonymous Coward]

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!

Re:Just saw the preview

[thewiz]

You mean we have TWO political parties in America?
I always thought we had only ONE.
Wow, you mean we have a choice?

Come on, everyone's doing it. Become a libertarian. [junker.org]

The most interesting thing...

[abkaiser]

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'd be a libertarian, if they weren't all a bunch of tax-dodging whiners."

If you're still stuck on a platform where you have to "install" Flash, maybe your problems run deeper than you know.

I Learned Something Today

[prattboy]

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?
