Idiocracy
- Commentary: Under construction.
Yes, I've seen this movie, although quite a while ago. I remember not being able to decide whether I liked this movie better than They Live or vice versa, even though they are pretty much dissimilar, excepting their political angles. I don't think I ever decided, although I finally acquired this movie and I don't, yet, have a desire to acquire They Live.
I have a bizarre memory that I can't seem to verify that I read the "book" a bit before the movie came out, but I can't seem to locate "that book". I believe I purchased a copy of it for the book club reading of it, so I should probably try to track it down through my stacks and stacks of books. Could be that the book had a different title and the author may have (successfully) divorced himself from the movie. We'll see.
More later.
