A friend recommended I check out Mike Judge’s new movie Idiocracy, which as he suggested was a very funny movie which was somehow completely overlooked by most people.  The general plot is that the extremely average protagonist is cryogenically frozen for five centuries and emerges into a world where humans have been bred into incredible stupidity leaving him by far the most brilliant person on the planet.

Of course, you have to get past the outstanding hypocrisy of the man who created “Beavis and Butthead” lecturing us on the dumbing down of our culture.  With all of the references in the film I’m rather surprised he didn’t poke fun at his own creation in this way.
