Operating on one hour of sleep and loads of caffeine, Jason Bateman journeyed to Comic-Con to introduce audiences tohis new film Extract, the latest deadpan, offbeat comedy from Mike Judge, creator of Beavis and Butt-Head, King of the Hill, and Office Space. Bateman, Judge, and co-star Mila Kunis were all on hand to show off three extendedscenes from the movie, which bows Sept. 4. Bateman plays a food-extract factory owner whose workplaceand marital frustrations spin into a ridiculous series of misadventures involving his wife (Kristin Wiig), a beautiful con artist (Kunis), and a drug-addled bartender buddy (Ben Affleck).
So is Extract (which follows thedebacle of Judge's barely-released last film, Idiocracy) the naturalfollow-up to the cult classic Office Space—except this time from the perspective of the beleaguered boss instead of the put-upon white-collar drones? "Yes," Judge said. "I worked in cubicles in San Diego, andOffice Space was born out of that. Then on Beavis and Butt-Head, I hadall these people working for me and I realized how hard it was tobabysit all of them. I started to feel sympathetic to my own boss."
Must See!!

I still don’t understand what happened with Idiocracy. I thought that was for the most part a hilarious film. It got kind of silly at the end, but the first 45 minutes were some of the funniest stuff I’d seen in a while.
Idiocracy is one of the best comedies in years. The problem was the studio was terrified on insulting their audience with it. Also it was probably gonna be very hard to market. But I love it. Its well on its way to cult status imho.
Very quotable.
