I haven’t seen the movie,

I haven’t seen the movie, but it is on my list of possible rentals. I would say, though, that our society is getting dumber. Just look at how many people are reading these days (almost none), and the rise of "reality" television.

Here’s a specific example that will show how ignorant I am and how ignorant some of my friends are: There is an episode of "The Simpsons" based on the book "Lord of the Flies." The kids get lost on an island and end up going at each other’s throats. A good episode for sure. But I know people who saw it and didn’t understand that it was an allusion to "Lord of the Flies."

It’s a simplistic example, sure, but it shows how many people who watch TV don’t understand what came before TV.

'Idiocracy' ends in idiotic way (big surprise, huh?)

"Idiocracy" had a fittingly idiotic ending, don't you think?

This is a stupid, stupid movie. But it's worth watching once.
