Idiocracy


I finally got to see Mike Judge's new movie, Idiocracy, last night on DVD. I would have gone and seen it at the theatre (I like Mike Judge that much), but due to studio execs' wisdom, it was only in theatres for less than a week, and it received no ad campaign whatsoever. Frankly, I was astounded that they didn't give the creator of Office Space, Beavis & Butthead, and King of the Hill some more creative freedom and support based on his past output.

Anyway, the movie is definitely worth adding to your Netflix queue. It's a sharply written (like Office Space) piece on the rampant dumbing-down of society, with plenty of the downhome Beavis & Butthead charm.
