Idiocracy (2006)

Richard Wilson4 said:Look, people only say stuff like that when they're trying way too hard to act like they're the smartest ones in the room.

The whole thing is just a mediocre comedy with a few decent jokes thrown in.

Plus, let's be real, most people today are way smarter and more educated by any standard than folks were back in 1950 or 1980.

Take the Netherlands, for example—if you look at their military records, the IQ keeps climbing with every single generation.

It’s a shame you clearly aren't part of that supposed majority, because if you were, you wouldn't feel the need to get so defensive...🙂

And don't think you have it easy either. Hang in there; give it some time, and soon enough, you'll be navigating this whole mess like a pro.

What a total disaster. Honestly, this thing is just going to pick up more fans over time, and you can see it right here in this thread—it’s attracting everyone from the sharpest minds to the crowd that's basically running the show these days. And trust me, the future they’re heading toward isn't nearly as bright as the movie tries to pretend. 😁

I'm not sure if anyone actually bothered to check the subtitles or see what else was tucked away in there... there's an entire alternative ending. 😁

What makes you say it's trash?

The internet basically handed us a self-proclaimed republic on a silver platter, along with all the chaos that comes with it. We really need to make sure the captain isn't sleeping at the wheel when things start going sideways.

Because honestly, calling it "trash" feels like the closest way to describe how you actually enjoy watching this kind of flick. 😁 For a lot of people, it’s just going to be some cheap comedy or total garbage, while others are gonna see pure genius in it. Personally, I found it to be a pretty decent, low-stakes "B-movie" style sci-fi. 🙂 It actually made me curious about the director, so now I'm planning to check out Office Space and Extract.

Office Space is a total 90s classic. It's a comedy, though the humor hits differently than Idiocracy. Still, the message about American society is pretty much the same. Definitely worth a watch if you haven't seen it yet. 👍
