Idiocracy was an unfunny movie loved by stupid people who want to believe that they’re the exception. I’m going to have to go with Mike Judge suffering from amnesia. Otherwise he’d realize that he already made the exact same point infinitely better with Beavis & Butthead.

Oh yeah, eugenicist Nazis loved Idiocracy too.

I wasted $7.50 to go see this movie, and it was one of the worst movies ever made! And I love Mila Kunis. She stole the film in “Forgetting Sarah Marshall”, but was totally wasted in this movie, while giving the best performance of anyone in ‘EXTRACT’. I wanted to extract my ass from my seat in the middle of the movie……. but my wife wouldn’t let me. The last movie I hated as much as this one was John Travolta’s piece of crap…. ‘Battlefield Earth’ perhaps one of the worst movies in the history of the human race.

I’m a huge fan of Office Space, but I couldn’t quite ‘get’ Extract, either. There are maybe 2 or 3 legit laughs, but it’s pretty damn dull and pointless overall. Kunis is the best part just because she’s the only character who acts like a normal human being and because of what she looks like while doing so.

That sucks, I was hoping for a good comedy despite the inclusion of Ben Affleck.

Idiocracy was a brilliant and scathing attack on stupid people and the average people who tolerate their stupidity. It was an elegy for elitism as great as Inglourious Basterds.

I knew it was bad if Judge had to dig out Beavis and Butthead to try and sell it, as much as I miss them. The clip in the preview makes no sense at all, and Kunis is astonishingly awkward. Well, Office Space and B&B are more than most directors manage to do over a career. Guess I’ll go dig out my Beavis and Butthead Xmas special now.

Most directors only have one or two GOOD movies in them.

Eh, every director has at LEAST one or two bad movies in them…

All the Extract posters I’ve seen have the pseudo-”stars,” just their boring faces, inexplicably. It looks like marketing folk are spooked by the uncertainty of box office, much like everyone who used to fund interesting art films.

The people-posters are all even boringer than the main one, except for the lovely, Ukrainian Mila Kunis. Inglourious Basterds had a similar star-centric marketing. Nobody knows what makes people go see movies, but Extract certainly exemplifies failing without even trying.

Mike Judge is overrated, long live disco totalitarianism.
