Author Topic: Team America: World Police (2004) Phil Hill I love my cootie bug Posts: 7595 From: Hollywood, CA USA Registered: Mar 2000 posted 10-24-2004 07:50 PM                  quote: Tim Reed Swear words for the sake of swear words... I need something a little more substantial... JFC & holy shit, Tim! I think Las Vegas Paul put it best... Even though I have the vocabulary to use "other" words in conveying SOME of my meanings, I choose to use swear, curse, and "crude" words cuz I just ***LIKE*** the way they sound. Also sometimes, one just cannot find the correct non-naughty word to express how one REALLY feels about something. BTW: About the film... Go SEE IT! It's a hoot! >>> Phil  |  IP: Logged Jason Black Phenomenal Film Handler Posts: 1723 From: Myrtle Beach, SC, USA Registered: Nov 2000 posted 10-24-2004 08:05 PM                        You're such a waste Alec Baldwin... I couldn't agree more.. All in all, a pretty funny film although a bit slow in parts. The sex scene was pretty funny, as others described. The others in my audience seemed to enjoy it. I heard them laughing during many parts, even the famed scene.. ) 3/5  |  IP: Logged Don Anderson Master Film Handler Posts: 312 From: West Bend, WI, USA Registered: Mar 2000 posted 10-24-2004 10:55 PM                     Laughed my ass off, and then procedded to get a BJ by the guy sitting next to me. Only kidding, it wasn't funny..uhm...I mean about the bj. Kinda funny that the didn't re-shoot the scene with the motorcycle getting knocked over by the cameraman!It must have been a pain in the ass to film puppets.  |  IP: Logged Jeremy Fuentes Mmmm, Dr. Pepper!

USA (1774.21 miles northeast of Dallas) Registered: Jun 99 posted 10-30-2004 09:34 PM                        This was funny as hell, though not as intelligent as South Park. As a fun throwaway "popcorn movie," it's one of the best I've seen. For social commentary, South Park would be a better film to watch.  |  IP: Logged David Yauch Expert Film Handler Posts: 206 From: Mesa, AZ, USA Registered: Oct 2004 posted 11-01-2004 02:00 AM                     "...as intelligent as south park" If we are using south park as a measure of intelligence we have problems far bigger than I had feared.  |  IP: Logged Chris Hipp Phenomenal Film Handler Posts: 1462 From: Mesquite, Tx (east of Dallas) Registered: Jul 2003 posted 11-01-2004 10:14 AM                     David, you must not have ever watched Southpark, please tune in to comedy central, watch a few episodes and then return and apologize for your blasphemy. Most people that have never seen it dont understand.  |  IP: Logged Jack Ondracek Film God Posts: 2348 From: Port Orchard, WA, USA Registered: Oct 2002 posted 11-01-2004 04:27 PM                        Wathched the sneak in Seattle with my 3 daughters (full house - 250 or so). Crowd enthusiasm added a lot to the experience. 3 weeks later... took my wife to a local house to see it. Saturday nite, 7pm show... only about 24 in the room. Except for some of the really 'over the top' stuff (like the sex scene), the crowd was very... VERY quiet. First time I've ever experienced such a dramatic difference. Very wierd.  |  IP: Logged Brian D. Whitish Expert Film Handler Posts: 103 From: Seattle, WA, USA Registered: Apr 2001 posted 11-04-2004 02:03 AM                     Ive always thought that comediies play better with a crowd. When we got Stripes at the theatre I was working at we watched after work on the Thursday before it opened. None of the 10 of us thought it was that funny. But some friends wanted to see it on a Saturday night and with over 400 people it was a completely different movie. Now I try to see comedies the week they open.  |  IP: Logged Tim Reed Better Projection Pays Posts: 5246 From: Northampton, PA Registered: Sep 1999 posted 11-25-2004 02:49 PM                       quote: Phil Hill I choose to use swear, curse, and "crude" words cuz I just ***LIKE*** the way they sound. And, Phil, from you they work! Yeah, and I also use rough words sometimes -- specially if I'm peed off -- but, if I had a screenplay to write, I could damn well come up with language that would use just the right phrases to move the story... without cursing!  |  IP: Logged Michael Schaffer "Where is the Boardwalk Hotel?" Posts: 4143 From: Boston, MA Registered: Apr 2002 posted 11-25-2004 03:10 PM                        You explained yourself with your last post what the point of the swear words is. As long as these have the potential to provoke people, they have an "expressive" value, so they aren't there just for their own sake, but to stimulate a response. Like yours. You go on and on about it. They must have hit a nerve.  |  IP: Logged
