1. "I thought your head would be bigger..."
My son rented this movie while he was home on break - we all loved it. I think HBO ran it recently.

2. It's got electrolytes!
I can't believe Idiocracy wasn't more popular. Maybe it just sounded too plausible and scared people?

5. It's got MOLECULES!


I have to admit, the stupid film grew on me rapidly. I bought it ($5 bin) at a grocery store, just on the basis of having heard its name bandied about here, and after I watched it for the first time I saw the satire but thought it was basically a really stupid movie. The second time I watched it, just recently, the genius of it sank in more -- it's not the first movie I've seen, some of them now firm favorites, that took a couple or more watchings to really get into. The thing's brilliant (and, yes, simultaneously stupid, probably a side-effect of focusing on the terminally dense).

I have to admit, I way prefer this Presidential theme over "Hail to the Chief," and Comacho's got better writers (and tailors) working for him than Dubya has:

Fox News, however, is not satirized at all:

6. My favorite line took place in the doctor's office.
I'm not gonna post it, because it's offensive as hell...but it's still funny.

Anyway, it has to do with the Dx and the doctor saying that his ex-wife is a pilot now.

8. I Have A Friend That Talks Exactly Like That Prosecutor
in the court room scene. It was scary. Maybe the scariest movie of all time.
