    The thing is, the movie itself is fine. It is self contained satire that never tries to pass itself off as more than an absurd joke. It's that everyone is citing it as prophetic or relevant that's the issue. Ironically, the people that can only process real events through their favorite fiction aren't nearly as smart as they think they are.
