It looks like a Luby's, circa. 1995:

i mean, this movie is like Withnail or Python or Grosse Pointe Blanke with its quoteable bits but yeah, classic and has held up well.

my coworkers decided to re-enact a few scenes for a work function. my favorite: someone got a free printer via FB marketplace & they took it to a field near work & whaled on it w baseball bats, end result looked so good w low camera angles & the music over top :D

this, from the nytmag profile, is amazing:
Over dinner, Judge told me that he now fears “Idiocracy” was a little optimistic — maybe the country won’t even exist in 2505. Then he told me the best story of the night. He was location-scouting for the movie at a reform school, though he didn’t know it was a reform school at the time. He looked around and thought the students there looked, in his words, “kinda stupid,” and figured they might be of use to him. In the “Idiocracy” universe, the most popular movie in America, and the winner of eight Academy Awards, including Best Picture, consists entirely of a man’s buttocks, passing gas intermittently for 90 minutes. Judge had made a 35-millimeter print of this movie-within-a-movie — just a few minutes of it — for a scene that takes place in a theater, and he wound up recruiting 250 of the “juvenile delinquents” to fill the seats. Judge figured he’d have to do a bit of directing to get the proper response from these extras — that context-free flatulence wouldn’t actually be that funny — but the kids surprised him. “They just start laughing,” he told me. “And they just keep laughing.”

Amazing and kind of highlights what's execrable about Judge himself.

also the punchline to that anecdote is one of his major crew saying "why don't we just release THIS?"

Overestimating your fellow human beings is truly the definition of execrable

Seeeeeriously. And, if anything, it's almost prophetic wrt where we've wound up 20+ years later.

Also, Nathan Fielder basically remade that fart movie for his show and it actually was completely hilarious.

I think a fart movie would go over pretty well with a large part of the populace tbh

I really feel the "just work hard enough to not get fired" part of Peter Berg's monologue.
also I have a "PC Load Letter, what the FUCK does that mean?" moment every other day.
