MooPig Movie Reviews: "Idiocracy"


Some Background on a Movie so Serious that it's Funny?
Some second guessing Retrieved by Pat Darnell

:: MooPig can not say it any better than Louis Proyect: the Unrepentant Marxist, Knocked Up and Idiocracy | Filed under: Film — louisproyect
Despite his reputation as a money-maker almost equal to Judd Apatow, Mike Judge found himself shafted by Twentieth Century Fox when the film premiered in 2005. There was almost no money allocated for advertising and the movie tanked. Some believe that the anti-corporate message of “Idiocracy” was just a bit too explicit for a studio run by Rupert Murdoch, as reported in the September 8, 2006 Guardian:
There is venomous anti-corporate satire throughout the movie, remarkable mainly because Judge names real corporations. I was astounded – and invigorated – by the sheer vitriol Judge directs at these companies, who surely now regret permitting the use of their licensed trademarks. Like fast-food giant Carl’s Jr, which in 2006 sells 6,000-calorie burgers the size of dictionaries under the slogan, “Don’t Bother Me, I’m Eating”. In Idiocracy, this has devolved into “Fuck You! I’m Eating!” And every commercial transaction has been sexualised: at Starbucks you can get coffee plus a handjob (or a “full body” latte).
Behind the movie’s satire lie long-term social changes like the stupidisation of the American electorate over [recently] 30 years through deliberate underfunding of public education, the corporate takeover of every area of public and private life, and the tendency of the media – particularly Fox News – to substitute anti-intellectual rage and partisan division for reasoned public debate...

MooPig notices that the movie, Idiocracy, made only between $300,000 and $400,000 on opening weekend. It was not well known in the year 2006 when it was viewed.

MooPig Editors like it today because it reminds us of Starman, made long before -- and Wall E, made recently. Both movies possess the theme of complementary conflicts; like Dumb and Smart, Orderly and Decadent, and other similar contradicting imagery. It is about time someone stepped up and made the future less marshaled and less apocalyptic.

MooPig Editors voted five out of five -- plus a point -- on the surplus of Idiocracy. "We were happier in the 1960's, and we think this movie resonates that sentiment," said MooPig's Cinema Review Editor, Hcodrum Trepur. "And we all like very much images of Rubbish Mountains in both Wall E and Idiocracy."
