Any word on these two movies?

[Ferret]

America usually sees the movies first, so I'll ask a wider audience: Has anyone seen the movies World police or Magic Roundabout? Were they any good?

Do you mean Team America: World Police? Matt Stone and Trey Parker's marionette movie?

I have not seen this movie, and knowing who made it, never would. Although a few weeks ago I did read an article (I think it was on darkhorizons.com) in which one of the two guys (Stone, I believe) stated that it was a terrible movie, that they were absolute morons for making it, that it was the worst experience of his life and that he and the other guy were pretty much never going to be working together on movies (he might have said on anything, but I can't recall) ever again.

While I wanted nothing to do with them and thier work, I have to admit I was surprised by the desperate vehmenence in his quote.

No love for South Park, then, I take it?

I haven't seen it yet, but most of the gaming group has seen Team America: World Police and they said it was fantastic.

I don't remember him saying he didn't like the movie itself. He called himself a moron for doing
the movie, yes, but because he didn't realise how much work making this kinda movie would
be and he completely overdrained himself, not to mention that the movie flunked, so it was
all for nothing. At least moneywise.

He's said this before after other projects.

I'm still waiting for it to premiere here, if it ever does.

I saw Team America. It's a decent movie. Some of it's pretty funny (especially the first 10 min or so), and it makes some good points, but it's basically a pretty good half hour show stretched into a full movie with a lot of really lame filler. I like South Park, although a lot of the episodes are fairly mediocre, with some pretty outstanding ones. South Park the Movie was much better than Team America.

I'd recommend renting the movie, but in the theatre, go see something else.

What about the Magic roundabout anyone seen that?

I haven't read the original interview, but what amazes me is the way this keeps getting reported. Stop and think for a minute. Here's a guy whose entire body of work is humor. And yet people expect that they should take what he says in an interview seriously? The quotes and excerpts I've seen from the interview seemed to me very much like someone having fun at the expense of the whole interview/movie promotion process.
