Idiocracy

No, I'm not talking about the common thing me and my friends have with eachother. I'm talking about the movie, Idiocracy with Luke Wilson and Dax Sheppard. I watched it last night with my friend Ashley at the tail end of a great night. True, I did fall asleep like I always do, but the beginning really caught my eye. This movie is about an average guy in the army: average personality, average IQ, with hardly any ties to society since he became the army librarian and since his parents & siblings all died. So, he's seen as the prime choice for a little experiment the army wants to do with the final product being the means of preserving the best soldiers for a year or two for when there is a lack of good soldiers.

This movie really made me think. In the movie, society gets dumber through the years, instead of smarter. The beginning outlines this in a neat way by explaining two case studies: a couple with both over 130 as their IQ, and a man whore with an IQ of less than 50. The couple tries and tries to get pregnant, but with only failed attempts, while the man whore impregnates equally stupid ladies and have the most idiotic children.

Anyways.... Luke Wilson's character is preserved, but for 15 years instead of one or two, by accident. As society lost brain cells over the years, he maintained his and can now outsmart most of society rather than just stay average.

Now, I won't tell you what happens next (...mainly because I fell asleep and don't actually know what comes next :P) but I will say that you should see it if you want a thought provoking and funny movie.

Until next time...
Candie butt :)
