The Long-Awaited Return of “Beavis and Butthead”

via tsbmag.com ( 152 Days ago )
I like Mike Judge. Idiocracy was pretty good (even though it’s become a bit overrated, mostly due to the studios not releasing it correctly, giving it an “underdog” status that attracted a cult-like following), King of the Hill was decent enough, and Office Space is, obviously, a classic. His new movie Extract looks like a pretty standard pot comedy, something to maybe catch [...]

The Mike Judge Interview: Part 1: Extract as Semi-Autobiographical, The Film’s Epic Bong Scene, the Origination of His Ball Humor, and Issues with Realism in Modern Movies

via slashfilm.com ( 157 Days ago )
Renowned American writer/animator/director Mike Judge and hype often seem like complete strangers.

But when one surveys his vast body of work that, since the early [...]

Extract Review: As Soft-Spoken as its Creator, and Uncomfortably Hilarious

via slashfilm.com ( 158 Days ago )
Mike Judge might have the least cluttered directorial style in popular American filmmaking. He’s so low-key and soft-spoken that it is easy to mistake his style for none at all. He does the heavy lifting on the script page and in casting. By the time the cameras are rolling, if things have gone as well as they did for Office Space, he’s just got to make sure everyone [...]

via wired.com ( 158 Days ago )
Beavis and Butt-Head creator Mike Judge has built a successful film career on his uncanny ability to draw humor from the most mundane topics. The brutally funny Office Space, Judge’s first live-action feature, tackled cubicle culture and became a cult classic ranking among the top comedies of the 1990s. His second feature, Idiocracy, ventured into a dumbed-down sci-fi future [...]
