Idiocracy

This was right up my alley. I'm a big fan of everything dystopic and the idea behind the film is something I've had tumbling around my head for some time now. The movie is a thinking man's popcorn comedy, which was a nice change. You usually get drama if you want the movie to stay with you and a comedy for mindless entertainment. But what if you want a comedy with a little more substance? Or something to think about without it feeling preachy or depressing? I think Idiocracy fills this void and shows that you can have both. I hope this leads to more like it.
