As Bill Hicks once said about test screenings and focus groups, studios pick "300 random yahoos" to decide what the rest of America gets to see. And do 300 random yahoos want to see themselves made fun of? I'm guessing test audiences didn't get "Idiocracy." But man oh man, it certainly is funny. I saw it on Saturday for the first time, and you referenced the line that made me laugh hardest: "Welcome to Costco. I love you." I'm still laughing.Robert Casshttps://www.blogger.com/profile/08707335033990525130noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4907572287715763095.post-36910619086497967162007-05-17T02:30:00.000-04:002007-05-17T02:30:00.000-04:00Fox didn't want to make money on this movie.

Fox release thousands of the stupidest shows and movies and commercials and products, and are one of the biggest instigators of the "dumbing down" of our population. Fox own more companies than you realise.<BR/><BR/>They don't want anybody to hear about it because then people would start thinking - and thats precisely what Fox don't want.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.com
