The more I read about the luminaries depicted in Team America and the fates that befall them (spoilers, nerds!), the more I feel like an unsung prophet. Kneel, Parker! Cower, Stone! If only.
Well, Salon readers are so torked off that they should be quoted in the movie's advertising. Sour. Sour like Abe Vigoda in a lemon-sucking contest. Magnifique! (Fantasy sequence: Parker & Stone smuggle a DVD of the movie onto the Salon Cruise*, steal all the other viewing materials on board, and then sabotage the boat. It shipwrecks on a deserted island, and the only thing the survivors have to divert themselves from thoughts of impending cannibalism is Team America. I can just see it. Kind of like a Lost sort of feel, only with less Evangeline Lilly and more gut-laffs.)
I am so there on opening day. If that makes me a "South Park Republican," so be it. Plus I miss TV Funhouse and I want to see the Super-Marionation fornication.
Update: "The puppet was reportedly stuffed with ham when it blew." I am camping out in line the night before.
*Cancelled? Awwwww.

That could be the greatest sentence ever written in the English language.
Posted by: dorkafork at October 13, 2004 07:09 PMI wish they'd had the time to incorporate that letter Sean Penn wrote into a segment during the credits, or something. Maybe on the DVD they could have the Sean Penn puppet giving a dramatic reading of it.

Jeez, remember when that site *wasn't* a branch office for Democratic Underground?
