TV Generation: Hangin' Out in South Park

21 May 2009 12:18 AM, PDT | From Daily Film Music Blog | See recent Daily Film Music Blog news

From week to week, South Park brings us revolting, swear-heavy and at the same time intellectually provoking stories for thirteen seasons. Music has always been a big part of the series' success and I'm not only talking about the musical specials such as the "Chef Aid" or the collection of Christmas songs that were performed in the third season. The scores have been just as important, starting with Adam Berry's redneck-stinger that opened almost every episode and became a signature calling card of the show. But when Berry left the show during the fourth season, the frantic search for a new composer began and South Park found Jamie Dunlap for himself.

Jamie's career was tied together with the 3rd season Christmas Special entitled "Mr. Hankey's Christmas Classics" in which the characters of South Park perform classic holiday songs, invent their own jingles or just call "Rio" a relevan song.

South Park Creators Want Cleese

6 May 2009 5:15 AM, PDT | From wenn.com | See recent WENN news

The creators of hit animated show South Park are desperate to land a cameo appearance from John Cleese - but fear upsetting the star with their outrageous storylines.

The adult-themed series is known for poking fun at celebrities, famously parodying stars including Britney Spears, Tom Cruise and most recently Kanye West.

Writers Matt Stone and Trey Parker admit they are big fans of Monty Python Cleese and would love him to voice a role on the show, but they are worried about offending their comedy idol.

Stone says, "I'd love to meet John Cleese - he is a legend. The real struggle is to find the story.

"We don't set out to offend. We always do - but that's not the starting point."

Sukiyaki Western Django: Review #2

25 April 2009 2:06 AM, PDT | From 24framespersecond.net | See recent 24FramesPerSecond news

Director: Takashi Miike. Review: Tim Irwin. I've loved Takeshi Miike for a long time. He's been just about the only director to consistently offer surprises. Random acts of violence, bizarre people, and extreme behaviour have marked just about all his work. Even his made-for-tv stuff like Mpd - Psycho has had some of his unique flourishes. After receiving some Western recognition for work such as Audition and Ichi the Killer, Miike has now attempted to jump the various ponds involved and create an odd amalgamation of Japanese and American and Italian westerns. Unfortunately, the biggest surprise here is nothing that happens in the movie or with the plot, but rather with the film itself. Sukiyaki Western Django is filled with Japanese actors and actresses, speaking in difficult to understand English and laced with Japanese legend, mythology from Italian spaghetti westerns. This is the surprise; that an entire movie is filled

South Park Duo Land Saddam Hussein Keepsake

12 April 2009 7:00 AM, PDT | From wenn.com | See recent WENN news

South Park creators Matt Stone and Trey Parker still can't believe a signed photo of Saddam Hussein U.S. Marines sent them is for real - but they hope it is.

Legend has it the troops screened the duo's 1999 film South Park: Bigger, Longer and Uncut before the former Iraqi dictator was executed in 2006.

In the film, an animated Hussein is depicted as Satan's gay lover.

Stone says, "We're very proud of our signed Saddam picture and what it means... I have it on pretty good information from the Marines on detail in Iraq that they showed Saddam the movie over and over again, which is a pretty funny thought."

South Park's No. 1 Fan: Saddam Hussein?

Before "gay fish" Kanye West, there was...Saddam Hussein?! South Park masterminds Matt Stone and Trey Parker have revealed members of the U.S. military sent them a photograph autographed by the Iraqi dictator before he was executed in December 2006. The South Park duo told Britain's Telegraph that members of the U.S. Army's 4th Infantry Division repeatedly screened the 1999 film South Park: Bigger, Longer and Uncut for Saddam while he was in custody. Stone and Parker relished poking fun at the bellicose leader over the years. Their 'toon version of Hussein made his debut in an early episode "Terrance and Phillip in Not Without My Anus," when he mounted a failed invasion of...

Kanye Hurt By South Park Mockery

9 April 2009 6:30 PM, PDT | From wenn.com | See recent WENN news

Kanye West didn't know whether to laugh or cry as he watched satirical cartoon show South Park in America on Wednesday night - because the episode mocked his huge ego.

The rapper took to his blog on Thursday to reveal the programme hurt his feelings - but prompted him to take a long, hard look at himself.

And it seems the characters of South Park and show creators Matt Stone and Trey Parker have given West something to think about - after depicting him as the most egocentric person in the world.

The plot of the episode revolved around chubby character Cartman starting a joke that everyone deemed the funniest joke in the world, except an animated West, who didn't "get" it.

In a capped-up message to fans, West wrote, "South Park murdered me last night and it's pretty funny. It hurts my feelings but what can you expect from South Park!

"I actually have been working on my ego though. Having the crazy ego is played out at this point in my life and career. I use (sic) to use it to build up my esteem when nobody believed in me. Now that people do believe and support my music and products the best response is thank you, instead of 'I told you so!!!'"

And, proving that he's no longer as egocentric as he once was, West even offers kind words about rap rival Lil Wayne: "It's cool to talk s**t when you're rapping but not in real life. When you meet Little Wayne in person he's the nicest guy... I just wanna be a doper person, which starts with me not always telling people how dope I think I am. I need to just get past myself."

[TV] 2009 Nickelodeon Kca Or Better Known As Disney's Free Publicity And How It Destroys Our Culture

29 March 2009 12:51 AM, PDT | From JustPressPlay.net | See recent JustPressPlay news

Ok, before I go off on my tangent I want you to know that I am aware this is a kids show and that is it meant for kids between the ages of 0 to 15 or so, but it still is becoming just like a lot of "award" shows, a big publicity sham. Disney ran away with award after award from their T.V. and movie and music section all while continuously promoting their own stuff throughout the commercials and during the show even. What I have the real problem with is some of the "winners" and how repulsive these "role models" have become. The goal of these programs nowadays is to market themselves while doing it on their own show and getting paid for it, it's like porn, we all love it and we all do it so why not get paid for it eh?

Netflix Now Streaming "South Park"

27 March 2009 7:15 PM, PDT | From JustPressPlay.net | See recent JustPressPlay news

Heads up, Netflixers. You can now watch the first nine seasons of South Park on Netflix InstantWatch as they were all just added to the selection today.

South Park masterminds Trey Parker and Matt Stone struck a deal with the online rental service earlier this month after considering other options such as Hulu. They referenced the new partnership on the Season 13 premiere a few weeks back with a few product placements. Aside from the featured pic, the Jonas Brothers also sing a love song with the lyrics, "Who Needs sex and drugs and partying / When we can cook a meal at home and watch Netflix."

Netflix is said to have paid cash to the duo for the previlege, in their effort to provide better selections in their streaming service. I wonder if people would care if they know that SouthParkStudios.com already has all of the episodes available for free.

South Park: The Complete Twelfth Season - Blu-ray Review

We.re going back to South Park. Gonna have ourselves a time. Blu-rays, Blu-rays everywhere.

It.s hard to believe that South Park has been on since 1997 and has 182 episodes under its belt. Its just started its thirteenth season (a lucky number?) and still has some of the most cutting edge and hilarious satire on the telly today.

[TV] South Park and Poe's Law: Nothin' Funnier Than the Truth

17 March 2009 9:49 PM, PDT | From JustPressPlay.net | See recent JustPressPlay news

Poe's Law: Without a winking smiley or other blatant display of humor, it is utterly impossible to parody a Creationist in such a way that someone won't mistake for the genuine article.

Throughout their years of practice, scatological satirists Trey Parker and Matt Stone have had a very effective secret weapon in providing much needed laughs week after week. When lampooning the absurd, how do you top its own absurdity? South Park knows it's futile to try, so it opts to recreate instead. It’s amazing how many people would then assume these things were fiction, when in reality the South Park guys didn’t have to invent a thing. Through their simplistic animation style and poorly impersonated celebrity voices, it’s easier to notice how insane our world truly is. As the old saying goes, truth is stranger than fiction.

Blu-ray Review: South Park - The Complete Twelfth Season

16 March 2009 3:35 AM, PDT | From Rope of Silicon | See recent Rope Of Silicon news

There are a few television shows I enjoy watching the complete season all at once, but as individual episodes they do absolutely nothing for me. "South Park" is one of those shows. With only 14 season twelve episodes digesting the whole thing in a couple of sittings is an extremely easy task and this latest season release from Comedy Central and Paramount Home Entertainment is perhaps the most feature filled "South Park" season I have reviewed, arriving with three behind-the-scenes featurettes and the traditional Trey Parker and Matt Stone mini-commentaries. Does that make it any more valuable? Perhaps to die-hard "South Park" viewers I would say it does, but for casual watchers such as myself you have to ask yourself just how many times you plan on slipping these seasons into your player. First off, the idea of "South Park" in high-definition seems almost contradictory to everything we have ever gotten

South Park Season 12 Blu-ray Review -- They made a cartoon out of the old Star Wars meme

14 March 2009 | From Collider.com | See recent Collider.com news

You know what to expect from South Park at this point, you know what to expect from a season. There’s going to be a stand out episode or two, they’re going to start strong at each half (they split their season up between two seven episode runs), get a little weird, likely throw in a multiple part episode, and then they tend to find their strengths and then stop. All too often, they’ll get pedantic, and you get the sense that Trey Parker and Matt Stone are bullies, who while funny, don’t deal well with having their ideas challenged. It’s no surprise they have a “strike” episode and mostly piss on the writers. Parker and Stone suggest the writers all got fucked on the deal, and that the deal wasn’t that great at all, but more of the truth of it was that the
