After Judd Apatow and Adam McKay, I come up empty. It's a bad time for comedy. "Idiocracy" was one of the best. So much for signs of intelligence in the Hollywood community.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-18439960.post-23824722133768676882008-06-04T15:07:00.000-04:002008-06-04T15:07:00.000-04:00Idiocracy is definitely one of the better comedies...Idiocracy is definitely one of the better comedies of recent years, and it's just mind-boggling how Fox handled it. My understanding is that they didn't even let Judge finish the visual f/x, which is why the film is somewhat compromised visually. Reviews were pretty good overall, and with any promotion at all they could've brought in the Office Space cult crowd. <BR/><BR/>A friend of mine only saw it because he noticed a listing at the multiplex for "Untitled Mike Judge" - and this was the day the movie opened! Great promotion there, Fox.<BR/><BR/>I wonder if Judge remains silent about the debacle because Fox TV keeps renewing King of the Hill?Anonymousnoreply@blogger.com
