VISIONEERS

I did absolutely nothing today and yet I accomplished so much. I arose around 4pm and finished The Taking of Pellum with my pal Shayne. Travolta drops "motherfucker" twenty to thirty times minimal.  But this is really about the movie we watched right after; Visioneers starring your boy,  Zach Galifianakis. Basically in this reality people don't dream, everyone flips each other the bird, and people exploding is a serious epidemic, I mean come on, their job titles are words like "TUNT" or "GOOB". This vision of society is actually quite accurate to how this world is and will become, its hardly a satire and more a glimpse into our dismal future. Every scene is aesthetically pleasing and I immediately related to Zach's character George who see's the nothingness that is our existence. 

WELCOME TO THE JEFFERS CORPORATION
The Jeffers Corporation is the largest and friendliest and most profitable corporation in the history of all mankind.As part of our ongoing effort to improve productivity, we have authorized the release of this film as a method of recruiting new TUNTS into our ranks.- Mr. Jeffers

Synopsis: First time feature filmmaker Jared Drake makes his directorial debut with this quirky black comedy set in the near future, and concerning a curious spike in cases of spontaneous human combustion. The Jeffers Corporation is the largest business in the history of mankind, and they got that way thanks to their strict philosophy of happiness through mindless productivity. But when people begin literally exploding due to unhappiness, Jeffers Corporation Level Three TUNT George Washington Winsterhammerman (Zach Galifianakis) begins to fear that his time will come sooner rather than later.

George lives a comfortable yet completely uneventful life, and when he starts having dreams in which he’s the first President of the United States, his doctor informs him that they could be signs of impending explosion. Later, as the dreams become more frequent and his co-workers continue to detonate, George is prompted to reevaluate his mundane existence. Judy Greer, Missi Pyle, and James LeGros co-star in an existential black comedy featuring music by Tim DeLaughter of the Polyphonic Spree.
