Mr. Smith Goes To Washington!
2:23 am in More Like This, The Great Magnet by Brandon
I’ve always liked the name of this film but I never got around to watching it until now.
The scene above is Mr. Smith’s first day as a senator. The day before he was a youth scout group leader somewhere in the middle west. He has no idea how he’s really gotten there– at this point anyway. It’s a quality ride up to this point and it just gets better and better. The dialogue is great. The cast is excellent. I usually cant handle the acting of that period without laughing at it but the actors are spot on.
Jimmy Stewart is the man. This man can really act. He fought in WWII. He fought to get into WWII because he was too tall and underweight. He became a general, did a little more acting, and smuggled a yeti hand out of India in his wife’s underwear. Jimmy Stewart went on Johnny Carson and read a poem about his dog that died and he cried on national television. Jimmy Stewart is the man.
This movie is, to say the least, timeless. Whats going on in 1939? The exact same thing that’s going on in 2010.

This is Visioneers starring Zach Galifinakis. It’s a story about George Washington Winsterhammerman (Zach) trying not to have dreams – of any kind - for fear he might explode. At least, that’s what the doctors are telling him. People are spontaneously combusting all around Mr. Washington as he fights to peel back the reality the Jeffers’ Corp has created to keep it’s employee’s productive, docile, and alive.
You should watch the first few minutes here:
now go watch the rest on Netflix or Redbox, or one of the limited screenings popping up here and there in select cities.
