Idiocracy was OK, but kind of annoying. Maybe that's the point. Anyway, it's a great concept that didn't make a great movie. It would have been better as a skit on an SNL-type show.
Mike Judge still hasn't topped Office Space, one of the great cult classics. I had hoped Extract would live up to that standard, but it was very ho-hum, like Idiocracy. Seems to me that he has been in decline for a while. Guess that happens when your first movie is so awesome. I call it the M. Night Shyamalan Syndrome.
I also thought that District 9 was pretty good, but not Best Picture good. I think grunt is on the money with his politics at the Oscars theory.
