Idiocracy

Has anyone rented/seen this movie yet? It's a Mike Judge (Office Space, Beavis and Butthead), pic.
I thought it was great at commenting on the "dumbing down" of our society. The way things are going, it could turn out to be quite prophetic.
It's a very rare mix of humor and commentary.
Wil, I think you'd like it.

I thought it was hilarious. Luke Wilson starred in it and it is SO MUCH LIKE current pop culture that it is scary.

I heard it was funny but finally watched it last night.
"Water? Like from the toilet?"
The thing is that so many people are so wrapped up in pop culture, they forget about real life and start basing all of their decisions on something they've either seen on t.v. or heard in a song.

I think I need to get some cooler friends. I should have seen a movie like this a long time ago.

And the really scary part is that if you watch oh pretty much anything on MTV, for example, they make the folks in Idiocracy seem like MENSA members.

Dax deserved an Oscar for that one...

I agree.
