Comments on: Mike Judge’s Extract http://www.slashfilm.com/2008/04/27/mike-judges-extract/ Blogging the Reel World Mon, 6 Oct 2008 23:53:46 +0000 http://wordpress.org/?v=2.5.1 By: Chrono http://www.slashfilm.com/2008/04/27/mike-judges-extract/#comment-447773 Chrono Wed, 06 Aug 2008 06:15:54 +0000 http://www.slashfilm.com/2008/04/27/mike-judges-extract/#comment-447773 I enjoyed all of Judge's movies so far. There is always something about them that makes me want to watch them again - even if it is after a year or two. Sure, Idiocracy was not as good as Office Space, but there are certainly things that I enjoyed. "Ow my balls"! "Extra big-ass fries!" It somehow reminds me of a line in Judge Dreadd (which was really, truly a shockingly bad film): "Eat recycled food - it's good for the environment, and OK for you"!.

Dax Shepard's performance totally ruined it and made me turn it off. The movie had great visual comedy, but once the characters started speaking the movie blew the big one.

OS is not really a very good movie, but it has enough humorous moments to overcome. IDIOCRACY does not. Judge probably needs a writing partner to put in a decent plot for Judge to work within, b/c he's got some great, hilarious ideas (duh).

That movie is a chore to watch. Horrific casting, lame script, and visually...well I guess they just really needed a bigger budget. Where the comedy of Office Space was nuanced, Idocracy's felt like a sledgehammer. Got a lot of love for Mr Judge though. Looking forward to seeing how this comes out.

It also gave me the strange mental image of Jason Batman playing Bruce Wayne. What a messed up movie that would be.

It's funny as hell. The only thing that prevents it from being perfect is perhaps the last act, but it's farrrr from horrible unless you're one of the people being mocked on in the movie.

It was incredibly boring, bland, and seemed like it was three times as long as it actually was. If you are expecting some sort of cleverness or biting satire, you won't find it there. I'm not sure I even laughed once during the entire movie. But I doubt that will prevent you from seeing it. A number of my friends tried to warn me, but based on Office Space alone, I insisted on seeing it. What a complete waste of time. It's just dreadful I'm surprised to hear that it is developing a following and can't say that I actually believe it. I watched it on HBO and I'm sure other people checked it out because of Judge's name, but, like me, found it to be horrible. I can't imagine people actually thinking it was funny or telling their friends to see it. As much as I loved Office Space, Idiocracy was absolutely terrible.

To love Office Space truly, you have to take that point of view into the future. Can you pinpoint the exact moment in Office Space that made you love it? I answer, hecks no!!! There is a great big smile waiting after wading nipple deep into Judge's world in Idiocracy. I guess you could just start watching Lifetime for Women... Sauce!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Sorry. I love Mike Judge. I happily, eagerly believed the stories that FOX has "buried" Idiocracy because it was just so brilliant and bold. Nope. They really buried it because it really really sucked. IDIOCRACY is horrible.
