Went and saw this last night. I recommend it--at least on dvd :icontvlol: . Quite a clever commentary on the dumbing down of America and the future of corporations running the world. It's a dark satire. Double interesting that it comes from the creator of Bevis & Butthead. This is the review that made me go see it. Kim:

Quote:Fox has been sitting on Mike Judge's comedy "Idiocracy" for almost two years, allowing no one to see it, not even reviewers, finally releasing it Friday, September 1, in a piddling seven cities Austin, Dallas, Houston, Atlanta, Chicago, Los Angeles and Toronto with no plans to open it wider. Not even New York will get to see the latest from the Austin creator of "Office Space" and television's "Beavis and Butt-head" and "King of the Hill."

Not even New York. Wow. It's barely out here (L.A). There were 10 of us in the theatre--it isn't listed in any of the movie summaries or even on Moviefone.

I've been thinking about that movie all week and my husband and I have been quoting things from it at each other as we see moronic things occur.

Someone bump this thread when the DVD comes out. Kim

Kim,
You can probably buy a pirated copy on eBay. > Big Grin

You can also sign up with Amazon for them to notify you when it comes out on DVD.

Idiocracy: 500 years in the future the Smileykoolaid

drinkers rule the world--it is not a pretty sight. They have no crops and a major dust problem because the makers of Smileykoolaid

have replaced water with Smileykoolaid

everywhere except toilets. They irrigate their crops with Smileykoolaid

and

comes out of the drinking fountains. Kim

P.S. Actually a Gatorade type thing, but we have no smiley for that.

Kim - I just read a review of this move in Entertainment Weekly and it sounds very good! Maybe it hit too close to some movie mogul's business plan? I hope it gets good word-of-mouth and the DVD sales and rentals are BIG.
