Regarding Idiocracy, I think it gets more than enough attention. It's a funny movie, and a lot of its satirical barbs land, but its basic premise is a eugenicist lie that would cause a lot of damage if people took it too seriously. Moreover, even as social critique, it is rapidly becoming dated; broad-brush anti-intellectualism is certainly a problem, but it's not the problem - the political events of the past half-decade have reaffirmed that it's just one of a variety of types of toxic irrationality.
