I have to say I am loving the idea of Team America : World Police - partly as it’s being made by South Park creators Matt Stone and Trey Parker, partly because the Boing Boing preview of it sounds great (the trailer isn’t as revealing), but mostly because of its gloriously Stuckist approach to film-making with no vacuous CGI, instead it uses well-crafted (and deliberately mishandled) marionettes and traditional model-based SFX. Though I’m not so sure about the alleged puppet fellatio.

Annoying thing is, though the US gets to see it in less than a fortnight, we’re going to have to wait until the New Year before we get a look. Why can’t us in the rest of the world get a look in at the same time?
