Idiocracy

Post by Cail »

Anyone seen this? Great flick from Mike Judge (King of the Hill, Office Space). Funny on its own, but a harsh, biting social commentary as well. It's about an average guy who ends up 550 years in the future. Society has gone in the crapper, as the WWE/hip-hop culture has totally dominated the nation.

Two thumbs way up.

Yeah it looks good (and kinda scary...)
Saw a clip just a week or two ago, not long after having a conversation about how "idiots" are taking over!
Great minds think alike, eh?
(Office Space on tv last night, forgotten how funny it is).
Looking forward to seeing it. :)
