Team America Sneak Peek

By Garth Franklin Tuesday October 5th 2004 04:13PM

A special sneak peak of the highly-anticipated “Team America: World Police” has just been announced. The sneak preview takes place on Saturday, October 9th at select theaters (around 600-800 in all) around 6:30-7pm in the evening so check your local listings or Fandango for more information.

Meanwhile, <a href="http://www.foxnews.com/story/0,2933,134467,00.html" target="_blank">Fox News</a> claims to have seen a sneak peek at the film and spills some great early details:

&quot;Watching the movie means being slack-jawed for its 90-minute running time...in the first few minutes, we get Gary, our Broadway star, performing a song called &quot;Everyone Has AIDS&quot; in a musical named &quot;Lease.&quot;...When you realize the refrain is &quot;Everyone has AIDS, white folks and also spades,&quot; you see the direction we're headed in...

Two puppets have a wild sex scene set, in the version I saw, to Aerosmith's &quot;I Don't Want to Miss&nbsp;a Thing&quot;&nbsp;&mdash; the love theme of Bruckheimer's &quot;Armageddon&quot;&nbsp;&mdash; in which full androgynous plastic nudity is unbound. But so are the lovemakers' positions. It's an astounding use of inanimate objects.

Scene after scene, &quot;Team America&quot; goes over the top. Whether it's language or just simple suggestion of vulgar acts, &quot;Team America&quot; never hesitates to outdo its preceding scene. I can't repeat all the words to the theme song that spoofs patriotism, &quot;America [Expletive], Yeah!,&quot;&nbsp;but you get the gist of it.

There's more in &quot;Team America,&quot; including a Michael Moore puppet, a stretch DeLorean, a hollowed-out Mount Rushmore used as the Team America lair, and, of course, more irreverent songs, including one devoted to Bruckheimer director Michael Bay and his godawful blockbuster &quot;Pearl Harbor.&quot;
