 Pee yourself laughing, 2008-06-20
This is by far one of the funnist flims I have seen in a long time. And oh so true.

Brilliant, Bittersweet Satire -- "Office Space After Devolution", 2008-06-18
Insightful observation is the key to good satire. In the case of "Idiocracy", the observation was postively inspired. The finest satire wraps intelligence with wit. In the case of "Idiocracy", wit and intelligence are one and the same.
About four years old and only now being seen widely, the satire is still perfectly--even more appropriately--contemporary.
Corporate sponsorship, advertising "buzz" words and product placement are so effectively skewered that all but the most indoctrinated will see the assumption of stupidity on which they are based.
Buy this movie! Watch first for the fun of it. If you find it anywhere near as good as I do, you'll watch again and again finding deeper intelligence with each viewing. The rather cheezy wide-scale depections of the idiocy are like most episodes of the Simpsons--more thought in one small part than in typical entire works of similar genre.

Our future?, 2008-06-12
This could very well be our future here in the United States, IF the people that actively choose to be ignorant have their way with our future.
I can really see this happening. Honestly...
This is for the Fox News programmed and bible sniffing masses and the people that think that 'it can't happen here'. IT SURE CAN! And it is happening right now!
Fighting evolution: I see the marks of evolution SCREAMING from the history of living things on this planet.
Ecological destruction: I see it ALL AROUND ME! We are eventually going to destroy this planets ability to support life. Then what? What will the people that have all the big money from the profits getting us there going to do then? They die just like we do.
Collective ignorance: Sexism, racism, ageism, political and religious dogma surrounds us. It invades so much of our daily lives (and I don't even watch Fox News)! Fear Obama because he's black. I've got a better one: Fear McCain because he's insulated from the economic damage that 8 years of Bush-o-nomics has wrought on this country.
Watch the movie. See what runaway capitalism would look like. See what our future very well could look like if we don't act now...
This planet is screaming for change...

A mostly disturbing, and yet funny, dystopian future, 2008-06-10
Whoa...
this movie, although on the surface is made up of some bathroom humor, quickly becomes a serious commentary on our current society, and fears of where it might be going.
Many have cited the classic sci-fi story "Marching Morons" as the inspiration behind this film, and for sure that is clear...
While Judge did not explain a lot of what happens behind the scenes in this terribly inept society of the future, he shows enough to make any reasonably intelligent person today shudder (the collapsing buildings held up by ropes was one disturbing thought). Outlandish, but frightening, to think that America could ever possibly become THIS lazy, stupid, and inept. Yikes.
This is a comedy, but in many ways the future it warns against is dark, disturbing, and rather frightening. Let's pray that the true future of our planet does not end up like this.

#1 on the stupidest movie countdown!, 2008-06-10
The movie is absolutely the stupidest movie ever. But I like stupid movies. Like Dumb and Dumber, you would like to hope that there would be a threshold to stupidity, but as Idiocracy reveals, no such threshold exists.
