Luke Wilson said he’s ‘always pitching’ sequel ideas for 2006’s Idiocracy to director Mike Judge.

    It will be more depressing to watch it. Since in that world no one is hateful just stupid. We got the timeline with the hateful and stupid people.

    Does it need to be at movie scale?

    A 30min workplace sitcom about running the whitehouse in that world might work.

    I wonder how many of the ideas he has pitched have become reality in the last few months/years.

      It would probably make better viewing to write a mockumentary about Wilson pitching ideas that then happen IRL the same day. Like Curb Your Enthusiasm but about satire writers. Is satire of satire already a genre? It should be!

    Unpopular opinion incoming but Idiocracy isn’t that good and incels only like it because it soft-validates their support for eugenics

      Tell me you missed the point of the movie without saying you missed the point of the movie.

        Never said that’s what the movie is about, only that’s what people take away from it

          The phrasing you used is that it does validate their support, not that other people think that. That’s why you aren’t getting an award.

      I love it for just being a stupid movie but it’s certainly not any kind of brilliant satire. It misses the mark quite a bit in a lot of ways.
