Watched Idiocracy last night.
It was somewhat funny…somewhat depressing (about how only stupid people are reproducing at any appreciable rate and when an average guy accidentally gets frozen and forgotten for 500 years, the world is run by Carl’s Jr., brothels, pro wrestling, and really really stupid people.) and occasionally logically flawed. If no one has a high IQ, where are they getting power to run their stuff, and who’s running the broadcasting of the reality show, ‘Ouch, My Balls’? Also, what about other countries, like Japan, where intelligence is considered a trait to breed for? Kinna funny though, and Luke Wilson’s low-key humor makes me smile.
Today I have school and get to turn in the huge projects that ate my life for the past two weeks. The one for my drawing class I’m simply not that happy with…I couldn’t get the perspective right and by the time I got to the final draft, my brain was so tired that my careful shading and observation went down the tubes, and my final draft ended up being my rough. As for the project for perspective class…we’ll see.
Your title, by the way, best line in the movie. Possibly the best line in any movie ever.
I think the idea is that super smart people in the past set things up so that they were “idiot proof”, but those super smart people are now gone, leaving the idiots alone. I’m sure if something breaks they don’t have anyone to fix it.
What about the Japanese?
They don’t have anyone to fix the Japanese either.
The Japanese are ALREADY smart, ’cause they value smartness.
