“Generalmente las comedias estadounidenses me parecen pedorras. Son puro humor idiota con chistes escatológicos o slaptick ridículo que hace ver a sus personajes como incapacitados mentales que deben ir con un especialista.

Movies Watched In 2018 - To Infinity & Beyond! (365 movies items)"This is a brilliant satire on what would happen in the future if stupid people ran the world.

Making A Scene: Memorable Movie Scenes (13 movies items)"Ow, My Balls! The show within a movie which spawned a game on ITunes. Really!"
Seen in 2018 (388 movies items)"I had seen this years ago and basically only remembered that Terry Crews had a wig and was the president in this.

Movies Watched in 2014 (80 movies items)"2014/01/08 First viewing. @home w/ Kendra on dvd Had some amusing parts, but there was much that was just annoying or frustrating. Considering the subject matter, I am not sure it could have been otherwise. I don't regret watching it, but wouldn't need to see it again."
From Plot to Reality (6 movies items)"A Dumbed Down U.S.A. Admit it, you knew this one was coming! Of course, the dumbing down of the U.S.A. is nothing new. It was already happening when I was a teenager in the late 1980's. "
ChihuahuaDaddy's Favorite Movie Dystopias (8 movies items)"No list of dystopias is complete without the dumbed down world of Idiocracy. Every year, it feels like the world is getting closer to a real life Idiocracy. One positive thing about the future society - at least President Camacho is a better president than George W. Bush!"
Funny Linguistic Coincidences (5 funny items)"There is a character in Idiocracy called Frito Pendejo. The literal translation is "Fried Pubic Hair", but in Mexican Spanish it is the equivalent of "Fried Asshole" or "Fried Idiot". It was obviously intentional. Mexican Spanish is loaded with words and phrases with dirty double meanings."
