Laurence of TBIFOC gives four Edloe's paws to "Team America"
"Favorite scene: the panthers," raves "Team America" reviewer Laurence of This Blog is Full of Crap, who says it all in a brilliant "three-word review":
America, f*** yeah!
If you haven't seen it yet (You haven't? Whassamaddawiyou? -- we reviewed it ourselves days ago), that's the title of the theme song, and the panthers are two black pussycats who play the parts of Kim Jung Il's prized panthers. The Hollywood bubbleheads sic them on two members of Team America, but one of the team members is a cat whisperer and turns the puddies back on said bubbleheads. Being cats, they go for the jugular. YES!!!
Also, if you're looking for a part of the movie to stand for the whole (synecdoche?), the use of pussycats as stand-ins for panthers -- with the obvious scale/proportional disjunct between cats and marionettes --is the one. Wish we could find a still of that scene to put up here on the blog. BOOFUL.
Update: Citizen Smash has a roundup of review links [via InstaPundit].
