DVD: Idiocracy

From the same brilliant minds that made OfficeSpace. But significantly darker, to my mind anyway. Two people of average intelligence are sealed up for an experiment…yet while they’re “asleep” the entire society gets so dumbed down (ouch! too close to home?) to the point that when these two are mistakenly awaked, they are now geniuses. And the contretemps ensue…

Luke Wilson is great in this. And I loved the whole “Who’s on First?” tattoo machine moment. Also: “Gatorade” has taken over the world!
Sadly when this really goes down it’s going to be a company a LOT worse than that…

Funny. But sort of secretly dark. Or super dark behind the scenes once you start thinking about how likely some of it feels… You could watch it without those inner thoughts. But who would?
