nonionayLast night, we watched Idiocracy, about which I'd heard good things, but I was mildly skeptical, since it looked to tread very closely towards that realm of juvenile scatological humor I despise. Happily, the movie has the genius of being nothing but juvenile scatological humor, and simultaneously making fun of it. IT IS A TERRIFYING MOVIE.
Beavis and Butthead aside, I love Mike Judge. He's got it where it counts in the heart, head and soul, and knows how to appeal to everyone. It's sad that he doesn't have wider acclaim (Fox's fault, according to gossip.) He's like Jesus, loving all us wayward sheep. And damn, I respect him for that. I know that I never could have handled being in Joe and Rita's place at the end of Idiocracy.
EDIT:
Thinking about the conspiracy theory-ness of it, I wonder how the hell did this movie get made in the first place? I know it almost didn't get released. This movie makes fun of the people who produced it, after all.
