Fof some reason (conspiracy?!) snubbed by its own promotion company upon release, but you can find it for rent on Netflix etc.. An amusing dystopian cautionary tale from Mike Judge.

anyone seen it? Thoughts?

Oh its been talked of already - well yes, it was a good film. Still, I don't think it could happen, is intelligence really so inhertiable?

Horrible.

good, but i feel like it could've been better without studio intervention. plus lots of people seem to think you're actually supposed to laugh at the "ASS" movie in a genuine sort of way. this seems to anger them.

It says on your chart you're fucked up, you talk like a fag, and your shit's all retarded.

Love this movie still and, after viewing it again, have been meaning to revive the ludicrous Sandbox thread where some ilxor accused Judge of loading the film with "mexican" stereotypes, because that's aboslutely fucking preposterous.

This movie made me hungry for big tubs of whatever the hell those big tubs were full of.

this movie wasn't a turd, but not particularly memorable, either.

critiquing the entertainment industry's stranglehold on cultural and political discourse via a hollywood produced and distributed movie is kinda disingenuous.

sanskrit, this movie was hardly distributed at all, really

this movie has a lot of good quotable bits but I still think the whole thing fails to hold up to much scrutiny on the basis of having all but two of the characters be rather unimaginative cardboard cutouts of the same WWE/NASCAR T-shirt dipshit stereotype. Mike Judge was probably listening to Radiohead when he came up with it.

* fucking up a bunch of shit

you think maybe we could do it family style?

tombot otm -- there were some really funny lines and pieces, but it's just not a very good movie.

Why would Fox allow them to use their name, but not mess with their logo? What the cock is that?

I can't stop laughing at the "yeah! YEAH!" part where he stops running away to watch his own car blow up, then all the cops fire in celebration
