Idiocracy (Mike Judge, 2006) | Thread profile

Well, at least we won't have to wait long for the DVD. It arrives in January. From DavisDVD: Quote: 20th Century Fox Home Entertainment will release Idiocracy on January 9th, 2007. Meet Joe Bowers. He's not the sharpest tool in the shed. But when a government hibernation experiment goes awry, Bowers awakens in the year 2505 to find a society so dumbed-down by ...

What a surprise -- a lackluster DVD release just like with Office Space . Let's hope Judge has learned his lesson and never works with Fox again.

Or maybe he'll learn his lesson and never make movies again... (at least that's probably what Fox wants)

I believe the Office Space SE is so barren because Judge had little interest in revisiting it after the crap he had to go through making it.

Is that really FOX not knowing what funny is, or is that more about North American TV audiences not knowing what funny is? Arrested Development was a great show, but it never achieved the ratings ...

Yah Arrested Development was great, but it didn't get the good time slots, it didn't get the advertising. If you remember, David Cross had some pretty unkind things to say about their advertising campaign and the shitty job that fox was doing to promote it. Though, I am truly surprised that it lasted 3 seasons. I do commend Fox for at least keeping it on that long. It is too bad, however, that ...

I completely agree with that point. However, at the same time, I can't really think of a way to advertise that show ...
