I'm worried that for him to go from King Of The Hill to this means some major loss of empathy for the classes he made his mint off of.

I think perhaps the idea is that all the engineers and manufacturers who keep America running are in other countries, while the US has become a subsistence agrarian state exporting little more than violent TV

I liked Maya Rudolph on what she 'paints': "People and fruit and shit."

Just watched this. The point about the weird class stuff is well taken. But: I actually think that with all the "particular individual" stuff Judge was trying to portray the stupidity of the future as a hideous hybrid of working-class stupidity (the cussing Carls Jr stuff) with middle-class bureaucratic Office Space style stupidity ("particular individuals") with upper-class corporate stupidity (Brawndo on the crops.) The problem is, the "you talk like a fag and your shit's retarded" stuff is by far the funniest, so that dominates your impression of what the movie's about, and it ends up reading as "fear the dopey masses, they breed."

I enjoyed the Fresh Air interview for the fence-building story and him highlighting the diff bet/w Mr Anderson's and Hank Hill's voices by doing both in the same segment.

I loved the fence-building story, too. Biggest thing that hit me while listening to him tell stories about people is that he is good at finding humor in people's mannerisms and conveying what's so funny about them. A lot of his movies are too bogged down by plot. Almost makes me wish he had a writing partner who could handle the main story or something.

wow i just came here to quote the stoned doctor but yall are on the race issue. i genuinely thought the majority of ppl in the movie were supposed to be "mixed race" and that this was a p genius and subtle representation of the future. it doesnt have to be viewed as CAUSAL

i still crack up thinking of the purple dildo-like thing that was on Joe's car in the demolition derby. in fact I haven't seen this movie in years and I still think of it any time someone mentions "Costco", "Carl's Jr.", "H&R Block" or "tattoo".
actually now that I think about it, it's really similar to Office Space and Beavis and Butthead do America, it's more a collection of great scenes than it is an actual movie with a plot and all that

Yeah, Judge is a composer of uncannily well-observed tableaux that are only mildly tweaked for comedic effect. Plot shmot.

I love how this movie is totally a mess, and was most likely completed in a highly compromised form, perhaps edited against judges wishes or maybe without his input. At least, that's how it plays. Yet even as a mess it is funnier and more otm than most comedies. Certainly significantly better than Extract.

It started off boring and slow, with Not Sure trying to bullshit everyone with a bunch of smart talk: 'Blah blah blah. You gotta believe me!' That part of the trial sucked! But then the Chief J. just went off. He said, 'Man, whatever! The guy's guilty as shit, we all know that!'
