movies/tv What do you think about "Idiocracy"?

[HorsesandMOARGaloar 300]

"Idiocracy" is a science fiction movie set in a commercialised world where most people have become very unintelligent to an amusing and catastrophic extent. It involves two or three people trying to survive in that kind of world and its dirty, broken society.

Due to the future society's ridiculous behaviours, I really enjoyed this movie very much. What about you -- what do you think of that movie?

It's a really funny movie, and my dad and I would joke about how the movie'd come true.

Now it seems to actually be coming true... just not in the same way as in the movie.

That movie... was actually pretty good. I thought it was pretty accurate, too. That's pretty much how we'd end up. Electrolytes are always the answer!

I haven't seen it, but I feel like we are getting to that point.

Sounds like another way to fuel one's cynicism. Idiocracy is almost a cult classic by its own right.

It's pretty good. The fans ruin it for me, though.

What is wrong with Idiocracy's fanbase -- their paranoia, or them being annoying?

Them being annoying. The movie does appeal to the kind of person who belives that they're so much smarter than anyone else, so the fandom has a lot of those people in it. This makes it so that every disscusion about the movie turns into a circlejerk about how everyone except for the fandom (of course) are pretty much retarded.

Haven't watched it, but feels too close to home for me

I really like the movie. It's absurd and, in all too many ways, accurate and believable. Lots of sly humor as well as some pretty blatant stuff. The only realm problem I have with it is at the end when Joe Bauers/I Don't Know is telling everyone to stay in school so they can become smart. I think that's highly contrary to that end.
