    Shaun of the Dead and Team America

    Ok, I put this here in the Dog House, because Team America: World Police can be taken as a really offensive film. I, personally, haven't laughed that hard in a long time. It is absolutely hysterical, albeit tasteless. If you're into stupid humor, you really must watch it. Every single person in the theater, at some point, came out of their seat, they were laughing so hard. It's completely ridiculous, but, I loved it!

    Shaun of the Dead is equally as funny, but, not as stupid. It's pretty silly in parts, but, it actually had some heartwarming moments, I thought. The two main characters are fantastic, and, I think they did a great job making you care about them! I laughed crazy hard in the first 30 or 40 minutes, just watching the main character go through his daily life. Anyway, just curious if anyone else has seen either film.

    I saw Shaun of the Dead a while ago and really enjoyed it.

    Thanks for the great signature Kay!

    I heard Team America was really funny, but I can't see it. I am 23 years old and puppets (and Claymation) still give me nightmares. I'm such a dork, but I can't help it.

    I can't wait to see Team America . . . it's finally on here (a week late) and I think we'll see it tomorrow.

    I heard that they had to edit out a few scenes from Team America just so it could be Rated R and not NC-17!!! Puppet sex scenes or something . . . is it that bad? LOL I can't wait to see it!

    I've only seen a few Shaun of the Dead clips . . . my husband is absolutly dying to see it!!! He loves zombie movies so he's pretty excited about this one. It hasn't come on here yet though. Ashland is pretty picky about what movies they bring for some reason. So we just wait patiently!

    Honestly, I don't know what they had to take out to make it only rated r, but, there's still a sex scene, and, short of showing actual parts (they do show boobs), the scene is really racy. It's shockingly funny, though, and, you're either going to be completely repulsed or you're going to laugh your socks off! I wasn't repulsed.

    I LOVED Shaun of the Dead, and, I'm not a zombie fan at all. BUt, it's fantastic, definitely go see it asap!


    Thanks, Dogz!

    My son saw Team America ... he said it was absolutely hilarious ... but, he's a thirteen year old boy. I think I'll pass.

    Well, I'm a 28 year old woman, and, I loved it. But, it is definitely not for everyone.

    I want to see Team America...but I think I'll wait and rent it. I can't rationalize spending $10/person to see puppets

    Well, there's a lot in this movie. The puking scene is my personal favorite.

    I saw Team America with my BF this past week, and we were both laughing so hard we nearly wet our pants!

    It was AWESOME!

    I also saw Farenheit 9/11... what an eye opener THAT movie was. Also a must-see.

    As long as you're open minded, take it with a grain of salt, and, aren't expecting rocket science, it'll make you laugh.


    Thanks, Dogz!

    I saw Shaun of the Dead last night. What a HORRIBLE movie! It barely passed as entertaining I've never seen so many people get up and walk out of a theatre. Or fall asleep hah! It was bad in that really cheesy kind of way - I think I heard pretty much everyone leaving say that they thought it was terrible lol.
