It’s basically a comedy with the subtlety of a guy repeatedly screaming “I am beating you with a sledgehammer” as he hits you with a sledgehammer.

The joke is that everyone is dumb and the future and its painfully spoon-fed to the audience ad nusuesm. And now 15 years later everyone constantly brings up that movie when ever something happens and its the most over commented thing I’ve ever seen. It makes me hate the movie more. Its the peak movie for pseudo intellectuals.

    It wasn’t trying to be subtle and wasn’t trying to be deep. The people who like it now are those that can relate to seeing the world lean further into the jokes about society getting stupider.

    Nobody is trying to be intellectual when they bring up this movie.

    And before I forget: Welcome to Costco, I love you.
