Office Space Rules!

has anyone seen Mike Judge's new film Idiocracy? It's supposed to be quite good and as biting as Office Space.

I'm going to rent that movie.

I still wonder why it wasn't widely released.

When did it come out?

I think it came out in September, but was released in a very very limited fashion. It got no promotion at all, but it's supposed to be a good movie.

My boss is Dax Shepard's uncle (Dax is one of the main actors in the movie) - he said the big issue seemed to be that the studio couldn't figure out a way to market it that made Mike Judge happy - I guess it's a little bit difficult to boil down in a 2 minute trailer. Maybe Fox is hoping it will do well in the DVD market like Office Space did But I am looking forward to this too

I found an article in Esquire from June that explains it a little more:
