Last time I watched this movie was ages ago. I loved this movie when I watched it, and that Matt Damon joke is something that still get refferenced with some of my friends. I have no idea if I would love it now since I can't stand the newer South Park seasons. I have to rewatch it some day.

The musical numbers alone demand a 5.

I've got some great memories when watching this movie back in my first year in college. It was one of the first movies my roommates and I watched together after moving. It's beyond hilarious and it has some of the finest comedic original songs ever in any movie.

Literally the only great scene in the entire film. As a pessimistic cynic I approve of this philosophy.
But overall Team America is immature crap, 2/5 avoid

Actually, I suppose there is one more area worthy of praise: the visuals. As someone who watched a lot of Thunderbirds as a kid, I was impressed at how closely the marionettes in TA: WP resembled the real thing. They almost looked as good as Gary Anderson's, which for 2004 was a treat, since nobody was doing marionettes in mainstream film anymore by that point. So it was a competent looking film to say the least.
That still doesn't redeem all the immaturity, though. 2/5.

Because people have actually watched it instead of picking a fringe movie nobody has even heard of. |

I forgot the Matt Damon joke came from this one. I wonder if people would be able to get that joke now. It made perfect sense at the time, specially with the Ocean's movies.
That dick, pussy, asshole philosophy resonated with lots of people at the time. We were at war, and many people thought of terrorists as the assholes, war advocates as the dicks, and peace proponents as the pussies.
The problem with that philosophy is that in reality the white knight SJW peace proponents are hypocrites, and they are the real assholes, the so called war advocates or those that want a heavy hand are the pussies because they are lead to work for the money, and usually nothing else, and the terrorists or anti establishment are the actual dicks for being tempted by the asses and pussies to do some damage.
However the anti establishment folks are not enough to keep the assholes and pussies in check, they may fuck them a little, but the assholes shit on everyone even more because now their hole is bigger, and the pussies swallow all of it.
What society really needs is a butt plug, so the assholes can stop shitting, simply fucking them a little may not be enough to shut them up, and may even continue to make things worse for everyone.

Because people have actually watched it instead of picking a fringe movie nobody has even heard of. Firstly, your assumptions about me are shit. I despise the film industry and film-making. I strongly dislike all of the performing arts, but film is my most hated of the bunch by far. So there's no reason why I should feel obligated to worship movies, say nothing but nice thigs about any given movie or, most importantly, gloss over any regressive political message/theme from all-american Hollywood pigs like Steven Spielberg, George Lucas (yes he's a pig), or Robert Zemeckis to name a few. Secondly, go fuck yourself. Thirdly, QUIT HARRASSING ME!! I've already told you that I hate you. I've already said that I don't want to talk to you. You know that I don't want to be your friend, so the fact that you reply to just about every post I make (often seeming passive-aggressive or antagonistic) qualifies as stalking. You know what happens to stalkers in real life? They go to prison! So keep that in mind the next time you feel like violating my virtual space, you sleazebag. |

theme from all-american Hollywood pigs like Steven Spielberg, George Lucas (yes he's a pig), or Robert Zemeckis to name a few. And I thought you were a big fan of those, Martin Scorsese, James Cameron, Roman Polanski, Woody Allen, Stanley Kubrick, etc., or even the new ones like Sam Mendes and J.J. Abrams. Thirdly, QUIT HARRASSING ME!! I've already told you that I hate you. I've already said that I don't want to talk to you.

Easy there, Balder has only been nice with you by acknowledging your comments. |

It'd be easier to count the number of people that you don't hate in the world than the ones that you do hate. What I don't get is why you bother to post here when you make it crystal clear that you don't like any of the regular posters. Are you trying to win us over by making political threads? I don't know, but neither do I care. That said, I'm allowed to reply to anyone posting here as it's open to the public. So just shut the fucl up about stalking. I don't think I'd want to be your friend either after trying several times to end the feud we've been having. I gave you many opportunities to settle, but you didn't care. |
