Idiocracy
 

Just to rebel from the Misc Mushy Mingle thread, I'm actually starting an individual thread about a movie we just saw on DVD. :eek:

Idiocracy. Never heard of it? Neither had we. Saw an ad for it being released to DVD. Mike Judge made another movie?! After reading the plot outline I had to see it:
The movie delivers a horrifyingly possible - nay, probable! - future. It was funny and ridiculous but man, it was scary more than anything. I probably won't see it again but it was an entertaining flick.

I recommend it for popcorn stupidity. You may come away wanting to procreate and fill the world with smarter children.

"What are you tryin' to read that word for? What are you, a fag or somethin'?"

Random searches around the net tell me that the studio squashed this movie. Even the DVD release is in lame-ass January and costs way too much. I even found amusing posts that claim that Idiocracy was far more plausible than Children of Men.

Anyway, worth a Netflix evening. :snap:

So .... IS this an announcement??

or an argument for government regulated reproductive rights

FUnny movie. Product placement and endorsements will be out of control in the future.

Hmm, well I took away a rather different twist on the same idea. I felt the strong urge to have the entire population neutered. Reproduction rights can be reinstated after registration, licensing, and a thorough background check including psychological evaluation and proof of financial stability.

Although that's nothing different than what I thought before the movie, but it just reinforced it...in a very eerie creepy way.

And now....the cupcake and memorial smilies. :babette: :decap:

Dude, you just have to see Borat and Idiocracy. Just because I've been seeing movies with reproductive themes doesn't mean there's a hidden message here. Why does every gay boy I know seem to be relying on ME to populate the world? :rolleyes: :p

Because they've all given up on me. ;)

and they know my boyfriend

And, someone's GOT to have a kid soon because we have a unused, brand new, Bellini Crib in storage. That, alone, is reason to procreate, right?

Could you hold onto that for just a few years longer? Thanks. ;)

And no female would touch me... :p
