like it is so condescending and elitist and super classist and also low-key pro-eugenics??

I watched this a couple of years ago and was not impressed by the quality of the satire, which was predicated on similar ideas to those long held by racists, except "The Yellow/Brown Peril and Destruction of the White Race" was replaced by "The Proletarian Peril and Destruction of the Educated Elites".

It's a terrifyingly prescient and occasionally very funny film ruined for many people because of a totally unnecessary Eugenics 101 sequence that they stuck at the beginning as if society's decline required a theory.

anybody else have friends that think it's so hilarious to say "little did we know at the time this was a DOCUMENTARY"

my hatred of this movie has grown tenfold since I first watched it 4 months ago

I just saw this movie for the first time since it was in theaters. Some of it has aged well, some of it has aged terribly, but it remains by and large a borderline disaster, like a self-funded pilot that never got picked up.
