Idiocracy


Thanks to the folks at The Onion AV Club for announcing the release of Mike Judge's new film Idiocracy.

I've done just a bit of research on the history of this film. I must say I'm very intrigued to see it. Not just because Judge's previous film Office Space is one of the most dead-on chronicles of modern life ever to appear on film.

Keep in mind this film was supposedly finished two years ago, and it hasn't even been given a theatrical trailer or any advertising yet.

I see two strong possibilities here: Either this confirms my Brazil theory that any movie that accurately satirizes bureaucracy will be interpreted by the bureaucrats responsible for releasing it as a direct attack on them, or this is truly such a smoking turd of a movie that it couldn't get past the studio that brought us "Garfield: A Tale of Two Kitties" and "John Tucker Must Die."
