Children of Men opened this last weekend in theaters across the
country. This is a movie that Barry saw last fall in Dublin and
reported here. I plan to see it this week.
Also out on DVD is Mike Judge's Idiocracy which was never shown in
theaters and shelved by Fox for a couple years. Plot Outline: Private
Joe Bowers, the definition of average American, is selected by the
Pentagon to be the guinea pig for a top-secret hibernation program.
Forgotten, he awakes 500 years in the future. He discovers a society so
incredibly dumbed-down that he's easily the most intelligent person alive.
Should be a fun watch.
I watched Idiocracy last night. Not great but it has its moments and
the message about the dumbing down of society is indeed there. It may
be a little too gross for the more fragile souls here.
