New Film by Creator of "Office Space"

[nemorathwald]

BoingBoing.net reports that another of Mike Judge's smart comedy films is getting buried and not publicized, just like his classic film "Office Space". "Idiocracy" is about a future in which everyone is dumb because smart, educated people don't breed. It's as if the studio is trying to hide it and wreck its chances! That must be why I haven't been able to find a showing around here. But if I do, who wants to go?

C.M. Kornbluth covered this topic in "The Marching Morons" a long time ago.

Fundie religions cite it as a reason to ban contraceptive measures, which has seemed backwards to me. Aren't the smart people going to figure out ways to avoid that anyway...??? "If we don't have kids, the world will be left to the stupid ones who can't figure out how to stop having kids..." What's wrong with this picture? (In any case, I've produced my two. The world may someday forgive me...)

In any case, it should show up in Ann Arbor eventually, so count me in.
