Anyone here seen this movie? It's by Mike Judge (Beavis and Butthead/King of The Hill) came out in 2005 and was a comical vision on the way the country is headed. It's interesting how many people never heard of this movie, but everyone that I've told about it really liked it on one level or another. I heard rumors that it's success was squashed by big business because of the movies mockery of some things, I dunno about all that, but if you haven't seen it, it might be worth a watch, esp with the healthcare scare. I'm wondering when I get my bar code wrist tattoo!

He and the rest had there leanings back then too, but they rarely preached anything political especially in the 'Rollins' years. It was a time and a place and I'm fine with it


BTW. Idiocracy is a cool flick.

I found it to be ok.  Definitely some stuff in there though that is sadly indicative of where we're headed.

Not me. but we are everywhere


I was at your shop a few years ago though. The wife unit was/is getting work done by Paul Booth and at the time he was on B(?). Your shop was somewhere around there, I guess you have since moved because I did go back to no avail. You had a really cool pair of turn of the century lab glasses

The movie was worth the watch once.  It does explain the way our society is headed.

I dunno about using it as a potential for the future, but I think it's funny as hell. I love the doctor. ...... "Ok so it says here your $hits all retarded.....and you talk like a f4g."

Great concept! Terrible execution

Movie sucked with a couple of funny items, but boy it sure does feel like what the country is moving too. Good thing is that the Europeans will be there before us.

The Europeans are much worse than we are, although you are right, we may be catching up. For instance, in 20 years, Germany will have a massive skilled labor shortage, mainly becuase they are reproducing enough. My 3 cousins in Austria have had a total of 4 kids and that seems to be the western European standard.
