- inactive, on 06/15/2009, -1/+39I prefer not to get my reviews from aint it cool news because they are a bunch of incoherent douchebags who regularly whore themselves out to studios for swag. They have 0 credibility.
- inactive, on 06/15/2009, -11/+26King of The Hill is one of the best written shows of this decade.
- inactive, on 06/15/2009, -0/+14I think you're sort of right. It's clear that a bunch of virgin nerds living in their mom's basement in Seattle won't be able to relate to Hank Hill, but there are millions of people for whom the show is a very relevant and humorous commentary on their lives
- westtexas357, on 06/15/2009, -5/+18King of the Hill is hilarious if you know a Hank, shop in a "MegaloMart" or have a Dale living next door, or know a Boomhauer talker or have ever met a Peggy etc.
Live a few years, then watch it.
Judge is a genius.
Hollyweird isn't ready for him. - TheUngod, on 06/15/2009, -1/+9Well, don't want to sound like a dick or nothin', but, ah... it says on your chart that you're ***** up. Ah, you talk like a fag, and your *****'s all retarded. What I'd do, is just like... like... you know, like, you know what I mean, like...
- lex0nyc, on 06/15/2009, -0/+7Yes, the antagonist and the innocent bystander that were integral to the plot would hurt the film if they were removed. ... What?
- LlamaTime, on 06/15/2009, -0/+7Brought to you by Carls Jr.
- MWeather, on 06/15/2009, -1/+8Why do you talk like a fag?
- Coffeedemon, on 06/15/2009, -1/+8Do you mean to tell us that relevance/similarity to personal situations influences ratings of entertainment products? What a revelation. You should write a blog. Maybe you can list the countless other movies that were ignored or under promoted in the theatre but went on to find huge audiences on video. A lot of Gen X (remember we are typically 30+ years old now... I think the people you are complaining about were never Gen X they just liked that tag better than millenial or what ever they're called hence they stretch the damn end date of the generation every other year) was already working in a cube or menial job when that movie came out.
- WNW3, on 06/15/2009, -0/+7***** you! I'm eating!
- modsuperstar, on 06/15/2009, -0/+7I hope that never, ever happens. Not every movie needs a sequel. Office Space was clever, tight and resolved itself just fine. There is nothing that needed resolved, Peter found he wasn't cut out for office work, Milton got his reward after being jerked around for years, Michael and Samir went back to being corporate drones after dodging going to federal pound me in the ass prison . What is there left to resolve there?
- smack1700, on 06/15/2009, -1/+8Excuse me, I believe you have my stapler
- Rivfader, on 06/15/2009, -5/+11Mike Judge rules. He should of kept on with Beavis and Butthead. It would be funny to see Beavis and Butthead in their 30s or something like that, if they live that long.
- Jektal, on 06/15/2009, -2/+8Buried for insulting Idiocracy.
- manjas8, on 06/15/2009, -2/+7Damnit Bobby!
- AmnesiacJack, on 06/15/2009, -0/+5Dusty old bones full of green dust!
- bossm4n, on 06/15/2009, -1/+6It's actually one of the more brilliant pieces of satire made in recent memory. The whole film is more a social commentary wrapped around a series of comedic gags. And as usual, Mike Judge has such a subtle wit, you every time you watch one of his works again, you realize you missed something the first time. You're opinion is like the suits over at Fox who didn't get it either and virtually shelved it before it was finished. It was a miracle that it even saw the light of day.
- tourettes1992, on 06/15/2009, -2/+7I think that is saying something about you.
- WNW3, on 06/15/2009, -1/+5I disagree with your assessment.
- mlvassallo, on 06/15/2009, -1/+5No... he lives in Texas. As do I. Where King of the Hill is real life.
- geminito, on 06/15/2009, -2/+6Their hype lost me at "Ben Affleck". I'll just watch Office Space one more time.
- jstohler, on 06/15/2009, -1/+5Idiocracy has grown on me with multiple viewings. Dax Shepard is genius.
- animus, on 06/15/2009, -0/+3plant
- modsuperstar, on 06/15/2009, -1/+4I think Idiocracy was almost too on point with the subject matter, to the point it was uncomfortable for some people. He just extrapolated the world as it exists now and took it further down the line. Our society has already elected wrestlers and former action stars to office, shows like "I'm a celebrity, get me out of here" exist, Walmarts keep getting bigger, people are willing to get goldenpalace.com tattooed on their foreheads, kids are more comfortable using text messaging shorthand then using actual words, everyone loves watching videos on YouTube of someone getting hit in the nuts and the list goes on. The building blocks for an Idiocracy type society are already there.
- inactive, on 06/15/2009, -0/+3Isn't it ironic how AICN started out as the one site that gave the truth about turd-fests before they came out and know Knowles is a paid-off hack troll?
- Tiak, on 06/15/2009, -1/+4Am I the only one who questions the usefulness of a focus group where people actually use the words sardonic and abstruse?...
- MScrip, on 06/15/2009, -0/+3>> "What really grinds my gears is when people throw around Office Space like it's the paragon of modern humor. The movie tanked the box office, and only found popularity when the former Gen-X rebels had to sit down in their cubicles like everybody else."
Who cares when it became popular? Maybe the trailer didn't make it seem like a good movie to spend $30 for you and your girlfriend, popcorn, drinks etc...
But, it gained popularity on home video. It's still a funny movie.
Google "cult classic" to learn more... - dragon76, on 06/16/2009, -0/+2It was called Idiocracy.
- Coffeedemon, on 06/15/2009, -4/+6I agree about Idiocracy. I wanted to love it but it was just too slapped together and silly. It did have a few moments that were as funny as anything that came out that year but needed more time in development.
- lex0nyc, on 06/15/2009, -1/+3Dale is funny.
- Bondheli, on 06/15/2009, -0/+2Dammit! I had to stop reading after "SPOILER ALERT"
- smack1700, on 06/15/2009, -0/+2I completely agree. Sequels can water down the original concept(s), and make you forget how awesome the first one was.
Some examples are the Matrix and Pirates; both 1st movies by themselves were great. But the sequels, meh, not so much. - bossm4n, on 06/15/2009, -0/+2I realize it's not polished, but knowing that Fox basically pulled the plug on him and cut funding before it was finished explains a lot. They almost did the same thing to Office Space.
- MacHarborGuy, on 06/15/2009, -1/+3You got Harry in my Knowles...
You got Knowles in my Harry... - TheUngod, on 06/15/2009, -0/+2As opposed to other such great films, with plots? Where you cared about whose ass it was, and why it was farting?
- allisonaxe, on 06/15/2009, -0/+2Wipeout and America's funniest videos are the real life equivalents to "oww my balls."
- inactive, on 06/15/2009, -1/+2I'm a Mike Judge fan, and I thought it was funny enough, but never thought it was as mind-blowingly funny as it's been made out to be.
- Chappync, on 06/15/2009, -0/+1Add Highlander to that "1st movie" list.... the first was a great watch and the rest were *****... well, I assume the rest were *****... I went to see the 2nd Highlander in the theatre and could not bring myself to watch any of the others...
- MScrip, on 06/15/2009, -0/+1Don't take out the dialog... do you realize how many quotes came from Office Space?

And everyone knows instantly what you're talking about...
Whenever my friends and I have to go do something we'd rather not do... we always say "I gotta wake my ass up at six AM every day of this week and drag myself up to Vascalinas. Yeah, I'm doing the drywall up there at the new McDonalds." - chaos7, on 06/15/2009, -0/+1mike judge owns
- christof53, on 06/15/2009, -3/+4Everything Mike Judge touches is gold. The Goode Family is fantastic.
- meruru, on 06/15/2009, -1/+2And yet it's still better than The Goode Family
- inactive, on 06/15/2009, -0/+1Your dad lost his job.
- inactive, on 06/15/2009, -0/+1Mike judge is great because he doesn't rush into projects. He'll do one movie every 2-3 years and work on the same series for 5 years or more. Quality not quantity.
- vpshockwave, on 06/15/2009, -0/+1Big grains of salt!
- FredFredrickson, on 06/15/2009, -0/+1Because catering to the lowest common denominator is always the best route...?
- bytor4232fb, on 06/15/2009, -0/+1I've been enjoying The Goode Family. I don't think Mike Judge can do any wrong. I'll be sure to check this movie out.
- mojomac69, on 06/15/2009, -0/+1King of the Hill was great. It jumped the shark after Death Picked Cotton.
- covertbadger, on 06/15/2009, -0/+1Office Space would have made a good hour-long special, but it didn't have enough material to be a movie. Round about the time they deploy the virus, the movie drops off a cliff. The first half is pretty good though.
- krakow056, on 06/16/2009, -0/+0My problem isn't with the 'polished' part, is with the script and the acting.
Everything is just so over the top that it falls flat. The people from the future act out too much, it seem too childish, cartoonish, fake to me. -
