Ten Bucks a Ticket Movie Reviews: Moron, Morons Everywhere!!

[10 Oct 2006 | Tuesday] 

Idiocracy.... seriously, did you even realize that there was a movie called Idiocracy? Did you know about its existence before today, because I was in the dark until a couple of friends brought it to my attention a couple of days ago.... and to their credit, they were fucking right! Idiocracy is one of those movies that you'll just plain and simple enjoy. Firstly, for a little bit of street cred, the movie was written and directed by Mike Judge, the man behind Beavis & Butthead and Office Space. That right there should see you on it. Still, if you've got some reservations, then chew on this: the plot of the movie is that a slacker military guy and a prostitue are sent into an experimental hibernation project to be woken after a year, are subsequently forgotten, and resurrected in the year 2505. The kicker is that in the future people's general IQ is only about 2 points above retarded, the world has gone to advertising hell, and the president is a former pro wrestler. The logic is basically this: intelligent, career driven couples often wait to (and sometimes never have) children because they want to provide a good environment for said kids. On the other hand, stupid people pop out little anly biters like they were going out of style, they do it with the women they're with, with their baby's mamas, hell they'll fuck anything with a goddamn heartbeat. Hence the successful (in Darwin terms) cross-section of human beings would be the utter imbeciles. Retards fucking retards fucking retards fucking retards for 500 hundred fucking years! What do you think would happen to the world in their care? Put simply, the movie is funny. The #1 show on television is called "Ow My Balls". The best movie of the year is title "Ass". Corporations have exchanged subtlety for out and out obvious joked (ie Fuddruckers becomes ButtFuckers). It's just funny in that simple, God how did these people ever survive this long kind of way. What makes this movie brilliant is its lampoon of every single corporation in existence. Starbucks gave up on coffee and now simply offers handjobs. Carls Jr sells "Big Ass" fries. One ad even reads "If you don't like Coke.... Fuck You!" See it. You'll enjoy it. I only hope you can find it cause last time I checked it was only playing in one theatre in LA. 8.1/10 Side Reccomendations: Office Space, obviously.
