I live in Sydney, Australia... yes, the Fox Movie Studio city where Matrix and Superman Returns was shot. What I'm trying to say is.... there is ZERO promotion & publicity for this movie down here.... that's right, no cinema screenings, no movie posters, no one talks about it, simply because they don't know it, none... absolute zero.
It was back in March (2007), I was listening to a downloaded podcast, and the title of that episode was the same as this movie: Idiocracy. The podcast panel talked so much about it, it made me look up on IMDb to read about it. Weeks after, I went to get OfficeSpace and found the movie so funny, I couldn't wait until Idiocracy comes out on DVD.
When it came out in May or June in Australia, I was so annoyed because it was only available to rent. Well I don't want to rent and then buy, so I patiently wait in pain. Before I knew it was on sale, I notice a shopping pamphlet was selling it cheap. I went there as soon as I could, grab it from the shelf, throw it to the register and buy it before making any second thoughts.
After watching it, I realise I had never pay so much attention to a stupid movie such as this. Don't get me wrong, the wait was totally worthwhile, and funny to the max. Now I can show off the dumbest and funniest movie in a country where people knows nothing about. (Maybe that's dumb... well maybe.)
Finally, I like to mention about TWiT, or This Week In Tech, the only publicity this movie can ever get, worldwide in a downloaded podcast. If you want to listen to it, Google it under 'Twit Idiocracy', the episode is number 90.
