MegaSack DRAW - This year's winner is user - rgwb
We will be in touch
Gets mentioned a lot on political threads but I've never actually seen it, and there's a screening this weekend at the Quad in Derby. Assuming I'm over my cold by then, worth a watch?
(I can find it online I'm sure)
Yes, it's a good film.
Was very funny originally but as time passes it becomes less fanciful.
Similar to watching Years and Years, it was uncomfortable watching in 2019 but rewatching in 2025 was frightening.
Yes, but be prepared to get angry/dismayed/ baffled/annoyed, and question everything 😉
It has it's moments, probably worth watching just because it has because part of the vocabulary, like Groundhog Day everyone knows what you mean.
i better watch it again. great film,specially these days
A friend lent me the DVD, "highly recommended, really funny". I gave it 10 minutes and turned it off. I have since discovered our taste in films is different.
Highbrow humour it is not, its just gets more preposterous and ludicrous as it goes on, but in a world of Trump, Farage, antivaxers rfk jr,, andrew tate, joe rogan etc its looking like a horribly prescient window into the future
If Trump came out tomorrow and said he said we should start watering crops with Monster Energy coz- 'its got what plants crave. It's got electrolytes.'
no one would be surprised
It's funny but also a shockingly good prediction of how things are starting to go.
Well worth a watch.
First watched it a few years ago. Enjoyed it but I fear reality is edging closer to the fiction, much like Years and Years (as pointed out above).
As above, things are starting to look a lot like Idiocracy.
It's ok, I say that as a huge fan of Mike Judge & especially Beavis & Butthead.
Yep. Not even really a satire anymore. Prophetic
It seemed silly over the top comedy on release, now it’s MAGA.
Well worth watching, but only if you like dick jokes. You won't ever look at a Starbucks quite the same again. This is the doctor in the movie, he is a doppelganger for a guy from Texas that I used to work with. Looks the same, talks the same.
Never seen it, but from what I’ve read, everything I see online about what’s going on in America seems to indicate it’s already happening.
And not just in America.
It is an awful film, if it is satirising the growing stupidity of society then it is doing so by proving how dumbed down its audience is.
To make sure dumb Americans get the joke, the same joke is hammered endlessly in exchange for a plot, characters, or interest. You can watch about, I dunno; 10 mins of the start to get the set up, and skip to about 10 mins to the end to get the pay off. The rest of the movie in the middle is just "Americans have become really dumb and say and do dumb things"
I don't know whether Mike Judge planned it that way...
Leave me alone..I'm 'baiting.....
It's a silly, funny film.. I really like it! As other day, it's not highbrow but never meant to be!
Watch it..you'll enjoy!
Fun fact... When it was made, they wanted the 'future people's to be wearing clothes and shoes SOOO stupid and ugle..you know..ones people would never actually want to wear. They found some weird shoes from an unknown brand, and put the actors in those. Check out WHAT shoes the future people wear! 😜
DrP
I was thinking of ex machina, for some reason, not thisi better watch it again. great film,specially these days
