"How short? It's 10:30 already."
"Eighty minutes."
"Hmm, that should be okay. Surely we could make ourselves go directly to bed afterwards, right?"
Ha!
Not when the movie is "Idiocracy," a sci-fi movie by the guy who did "Office Space." Like "Office Space," it's a little too close to reality to be comfortable. On the other hand, I did an excellent job of refraining from analyzing whether various aspects of the theorized future would go together (except in one case) and let myself just laugh at things.
Like many sci-fi stories, this one is an answer to a what-if question. Really, a whole bunch of answers. There were so many interesting things to notice, we couldn't help talking about them for a while last night. During which time we were not sleeping.
So I'm going to bed now. Goodnight.
