Go see "Idiocracy!"

Kuno's mood is: befuddled

Have you been waiting breathlessly since 1999 for Mike Judge to make another movie after "Office Space?" Then you might be surprised to know he has a movie in theaters right now.

You're surprised, because the evil boneheads at Fox have decided, after holding onto the movie for a year, to dump it in only 125 theaters nationwide, with NO advertising or marketing.

But I saw the movie in Santa Monica on Tuesday night, and I strongly urge you to see it. It's not "Citizen Kane" -- it's not even "Office Space" -- but it's pretty damn funny.

The bad news: it's low budget, poorly lighted, a bit too long, and employs the dreadful device of advancing major plot points through narration, something you usually only see in the kinds of movies on MST3K. (I suspect this was a studio decision. It's clear someone thought moviegoers would not understand the rather simple premise of the film. This is ironic, considering the premise.)

The good news: the movie is funny, clever, and endearing. The special effects and production design are excellent considering the budget, and clearly demonstrate that creativity and humor are more important than having rooms full of CGI wizards at Skywalker Ranch. Luke Wilson is great, and Maya Rudolph is hot.

Seriously, go see it, and when it comes out on DVD, buy it. Or better yet, BitTorrent it and send an anonymous $5 money order to Mike Judge. Then he can get the money, and those asshats at Fox can suck it.
