EXTRACT: MIKE JUDGE'S COMEDY FORMULA

EXTRACT | Reviews | Videos | Forum | News | Photos
This Friday sees the release of Mike Judge's Extract, his third live-action comedy. In 1999, Office Space was a huge success and proved Judge could do things outside of the animation world and do it well. His follow-up, Idiocracy (2006), was greeted with lukewarm feelings and absolute zero box office, but its cult following is rabid, and the film cemented Judge as a comedy writer/director with a damn unique voice. So we got to asking ourselves... Having seen the trailer and some clips from Extract, is there a formula to Judge's acerbic wit and humdrum social satire?  We cooked something up, let it percolate, and then bottled it at the source. And now, faithful shareholders, we give you: "Mike Judge's Comedy Formula."   More...

Beavis and Butthead have come out of retirement to talk up Mike Judge's latest, Extract. It's great to see these guys again and I love their straight to the point and honest review.

TRAILER FOR MIKE JUDGE'S "EXTRACT"

EXTRACT | Reviews | Videos | Forum | News | Photos
The trailer for Mike Judge's new film, Extract, has started springing up all over the 'nets today.  I enjoyed his last effort, Idiocracy, but it was an acquired taste.  My take was that a visual FX-heavy movie can sometimes take away from the funny, no matter how much funny is there.  In any case, it looks like Judge is back to his more pedestrian, Office Space stomping grounds with this new movie, which stars Jason Bateman, Mila Kunis, a shaggy Ben Affleck, and a slow-mo close-up of Kristen Wiig's sweatpants.  Check it out after the jump, and then give your verdict on Judge in the comments section.
