We watched Team America: The World Police last night. The unrated version. Let me just say that I'm seriously, emotionally scarred by it. Usually, puppet sex doesn't freak me out that much.
I happen to be very biteable, pal. I'm moist and delicious.

Sir, it's not an offence to let your cat eat your bacon. Okay? And we don't arrest cats, I'm very sorry.

See, that's just the thing with puppet sex - its effects can be unpredictable.

How much puppet sex do you have to compare it to?

Well not canonically, no, but this is transformative fiction.
I don't think 2001 is either boring or sucky.
The poorly stated point of my brief post was that if I've already disliked one masterpiece after having seen it the first time on the small screen, I don't want to screw with another, similarly-recommended, one the same way.

There's always that far more disturbing Peter Jackson movie, for puppet sex aficionados.

Gotcha. Go revival houses!

I have never been able to stay awake for 2001 on the small screen. I think I might add Barry Lyndon to the list of movies that will be big screen only.
Somehow, I made it through Solaris on DVD, though.

Between Farscape and Meet the Feebles? Um...more than you'd think.
Objectively, I think I'd have to say that Barry Lyndon is a better film than 2001. Or, well...I keep wanting to say that it's less experimental, but that's not quite true. The risks it takes are subtler, and because all of them pay off, they're harder to see. 2001 is more overtly daring, and so large parts of it don't work as well as they should. But it grabs me harder on an emotional level. Maybe.
(It's really hard for me to compare them, because I love and admire them both so much on such completely different levels.)

I guess that's probably more true for me than my statement about preferring 2001. It's an ask-me-tomorrow-get-a-different-answer situation.
