Idiocracy - not as good as Office Space

jeromeme | Mar 28 2007

Merlin,

I wasted 45 minutes of my life renting Idiocracy. Ok, the first ten minutes are pretty funny, but then it's the same joke over and over.

(Ok, the machine guns shooting each other, and Ow my Balls is funny)

Actually, the problem with Idiocracy is that unlike Office Space, women don't dig this movie. This is more a guy's movie. A nerdy guy's movie.

I guess if you laughed at Borat, then you would laugh at this movie. For me, it's just a sad commentary on the state of hummanity.

:confused:

Cranking

Merlin used to crank. He’s not cranking any more.

This is an essay about family, priorities, and Shakey’s Pizza, and it’s probably the best thing he’s written. »

Scared Shitless

Merlin’s scared. You’re scared. Everybody is scared.

This is the video of Merlin’s keynote at Webstock 2011. The one where he cried. You should watch it. »
