Mike Judge's Idiocracy opening in select theatres this weekend?!

[terry78]

I had no idea. I went to that fandango thing earlier to check times for this weekend, and it's playing here in northwest indiana at the Kerasotes theatre, and it actually is on two screens. Is this some kind of test thing they have going on, because I have seen no trailers, advertisements or nothin'. I may go check it out, and people may go just out of sheer curiosity.

Never heard of it.

^Same as everyone else.

Guess creating two long-running series that have changed primetime animation and television in general doesn't count for much. No promotion whatsoever for the man who gave us the cult classic, Office Space.

I have been waiting to see this for ages.

Dangit, when will studios learn to let Judge do his thing? Remember Beavis And Butthead and King Of The Hill? Remember how Office Space was treated like **** by the studio and ended up becoming a big time cult hit on DVD? Now there were rumors that they weren´t even going to release Idiocracy at theaters... sigh.

This is sudden...

Finally some news on this, I was wondering when it was going to be out last year then nothing was mentioned about it. Hope it gets a wider release.

Me too. I read about it in Entertainment Weekly a LONG time ago (before it had that name) and it sounded great! But then it never came...

is this the one where luke wilson goes to the future, and the people have become so stupid that he seems smart by comparison? or something like that?

jesus... he's been making this movie for like, 7 years.

Comes out today in a bunch of select cities and their suburbs. I'll have to give it a look after work. I feel like one of those guys in the press that gets to see a movie before all the hoopla.


Not really.

what is wrong with Fox? (Assuming it's Fox) Are they trying to bury this movie? That's funny. Yet, a movie like Crossover (nothing against it, but it look generic) gets a bigger release?
