Now the clown can finally stop crying.

"I AM AN FBI AGENT!"

Idiocracy was anti-marketed thanks to it's decision to satirically eviscerate its sponsors and distributor. Fox cut the release down from 2000+ theaters to around 100 and refused to advertise the film or release marketing and promotional materials to theaters.

Whoa when did the goth chick from Mean Girls get hot?

Just How Bad?
I work at the studio that's releasing this film, where we are treated to free screenings starting the day the film is released. They pushed screenings of this up to tonight, so that they could draw a crowd by screening Bruno tomorrow.

Roonil is right. Your glasses will be removed, your hair will be let down, and you will wear lipstick for the first time, thanks to the sudden affections of the resident dreamy varsity quarterback / motorcycle-driving rebel / rebellious varsity motorcycle-driving qb, only to discover that his interest was all part of
