The premise of this movie is so depressing and scary because I could see it happening but at the same time it's hilarious. Very well-thought out from the details of the future hospital to the future president.

This film by Mike Judge, the creator, writer, and director of Beavis and Butthead, King of the Hill and Office Space, is gut-splitting hysterical. And a little scary. In my mind it was the second funniest film of 2006, placing a respectable second to a film that is one of
the funniest of all time, Borat. Why have you never heard of Idiocracy you ask? Well, I've heard different stories but the gist of it is that there was a producer dispute involved that basically killed the marketing and distribution of the film's screen release. The film played only in a couple of theaters in New York and LA, but now it's out on DVD. The premise is this...two average Americans(Luke Wilson and Maya Rudolph) are selected by the pentagon to be guinea pigs for an experiment on hibernation. Something goes haywire with the experiment and the two don't wake up until the year 2505 where they discover an America run by idiots due the fact that the smart people over time began having fewer children while stupid people kept having more. This evolutionary tragedy has led to a nation of complete morons run by a former porn star/professional wrestler president. Seriously,
I could go on and on about this flick. It's gold. Get it. Watch it. (via The Cajun Boy)

"Unaware of what year it was, Joe wandered the streets desperate for help. But the English language had deteriorated into a hybrid of hillbilly, valleygirl, inner-city slang and various grunts. Joe was able to understand them, but when he spoke in an ordinary voice he sounded pompous and faggy to them."

"The #1 movie in America was called "Ass." And that's what it was. For 90 minutes. It won four Oscars that year, including best screenplay."

One of the funniest films of 2007, while I understand why this wasn't a bigger hit at the time (it didn't even open on the east/west coast! can you say "sabotaged by Fox"?) it is destined to be one of those cult films people will still be watching ten years from now... whenever they're not watching "Ow, My Balls!", of course.
