    This movie is the reason I will forever love #Matt Stone and #Trey Parker :P I could never get tired of the jokes in this one. It may not have been as well received as South Park, but to me, this is my favourite piece of content to come from the duo. I'll be quoting this one till I am good and dead :D

    P.S I will forever think of this movie everytime #Matt Damon appears in a film :P

      Editing … "Let's make fun of anti-war celebrities in 2004! That won't make this movie grotesquely dated in ten years!"

      Editing … I love things BECAUSE of all the other things I have witnessed and enjoyed. I enjoy game sequels more because I am building on my experience of the earlier games. I enjoy movies like this because of the times I grew up in. I enjoy Pokemon because it is what I remember as a kid. There are films/books/albums/games that I absolutely adore that someone else may disregard, because they do not have the same history of experiences as me. I have long since stopped caring if references date a piece of media or not. They were made for a specific time and a specific audience. They are a reference point for the culture and memes of a particular age. Their temporary nature makes them mean that much more to me.

      Editing … Um, I wouldn't exactly describe indefensible political positions as "references." Mocking anti-war sentiments was already misguided at the time, it just looks REALLY dumb now with the benefit of hindsight. I don't think a little foresight is too much to ask of creators if they're going to fill their work with moral and political subtext, or in Parker and Stone's case, super-text ("I've learned something today!"). Parker and Stone are funny guys but they aren't the greatest forward-thinkers.

      Editing … So it's just because you disagree with the political views of the directors? Isn't satire a reflection of the writer's views? Why would it matter if they were "right" or "wrong". It's a snapshot of their feelings and nothing more. Sometimes their points are still applicable today and sometimes the are not. That doesn't change my point that some works are merely products of their time and should be treated as such.

      Editing … Uh, practically their entire shtick for the last ten years has been shitting on the political views of others. Why doesn't my original comment get the immunity idol of satire? Is poking fun of someone's ignorance only permitted when its a couple of Gen X schmucks from Colorado with the capital to fund movies and television? Yeah, it's a snapshot of their stupid, ignorant feelings that deserve to be mocked! Seriously, they make a movie expressing "Hur, hur, hur, look at the dumb celebrities with their dumb opinions! Michael Moore is fat! They think war is bad, idiots, hur, hur, hur!" A decade plus later with a massively destabilized Middle East, hundreds of thousands of civilian casualties and trillions of dollars in taxes pissed away, and somehow I'M the unreasonable one for mocking a couple comedians for saying something stupid?

      Editing … Yeah, I was wondering. Your previous comment seemed to indicate that I shouldn't criticize the message of the film and that it doesn't matter if it's "right" or "wrong," because it's like, their opinion man. I think it's fine to enjoy the movie, and despite my issues I like it too, but I think it's perfectly reasonable to criticize a film on a thematic basis. Jokes can fall flat if their premise is poorly founded, and questionable messages or implications can make it difficult to get invested in a film. I mean I think everyone appreciates the myriad of ways that Birth of a Nation was groundbreaking, but how the fuck are you supposed to root for the Klan?

      Editing … I was merely saying that I personally wouldn't criticize a film on the basis of it being "dated". Just as I wouldn't with a game. I would look at the culture and climate around when it came out and base it off that.

      Editing … Such moral relativism strikes me as a peculiarly detached way of enjoying media. Do you forgive plot holes in movies if they were made by dumb people?
