A word of warning to anyone who sees the "satire," Idiocracy, advertised on Sky's On Demand and feels tempted to give it a go.
Do not under any circumstances.
I'm a bloke who thinks The Hangover trilogy is sophisticated humour. But this pile of absolute wank, just left me open mouthed in amazement that anybody thought it was a good idea to make this film.
Humour is hard for everyone to agree on but Idiocracy is a very funny film for me! Off the top of my head the Hospital scene is quality, the whole dumbing down of society is great and one example goes when Joe goes to get his identity stamp/tattoo.
eg
IPPA Computer: Thank you! Please speak your name as it appears on your current federal identity card, document G24L8!
Joe Bowers: I'm not sure if...
IPPA Computer: You have entered the name "Not Sure." Is this correct, Not Sure?
Joe Bowers: No, it's not correct...
IPPA Computer: Thank you! "Not" is correct. Is "Sure" correct?
Joe Bowers: No, it's not, my name is Joe...
IPPA Computer: You have already confirmed your first name is "Not." Please confirm your last name, "Sure."
Joe Bowers: My last name is not "Sure!"
IPPA Computer: Thank you, Not Sure!
Joe Bowers: No, what I mean is my name is Joe...
IPPA Computer: Confirmation is complete. Please wait while I tattoo your new identity on your arm!
Joe: Oh, this is f---ing great!
It's hardly a 10/10 perfect film but it's a 7/10 for me :)
