Sen. Joe Manchin (D-W. VA.) seemingly dashed any hopes of Democrats abolishing the filibuster anytime soon when he wrote last week that the legislative maneuver was a “critical tool” to protecting “our democratic form of government.” That’s a far different view than that of former President  Barack Obama, who called it a “Jim Crow relic,” along with a slew of other critics. But an idealized view of the filibuster as a force for good isn’t an outlier; it’s the way that many students, of past generations and even today, are first exposed to it, via the 1939 Frank Capra classic Mr. Smith Goes to Washington. As much of a relic as the movie is, the climatic scene, in which Jefferson Smith (Jimmy Stewart) stages a nearly 24- hour filibuster against corruption and back-room dealing among his colleagues, has endured.

It’s helped shape perceptions of what … [Read more...] about The Battle Over The Filibuster Counters The Myth Of ‘Mr. Smith’

Breaking the numbers down from those in the know, Godzilla vs. Kong ‘s net production cost was $160M. Now, remember, as part of the HBO theatrical day-and-date deal, Warners paid Legendary back its 75% share of the production cost ($120M) in order to gain full rights of the pic, including China. We stand corrected: … [Read more...] about ‘Godzilla Vs. Kong’ Set To Profit During Pandemic At Global Box Office: Here’s How
