So as part of our AFI Top 100 movie screening, last night Chris, Holly, Shannon and I watched Mr Smith Goes to Washington. Initially we were kind of critical since it seem just "beat you over the head" USA is good political, but as it moved on it turned into a really good.

I saw a lot of parrells between this movie and the way things happen today. How large corporations control the vast majority of the media, and how things that may be important can be santized or ignored completly because they may be detremental to the company presenting the information. Not that I'm a huge fan of laws and govermental control, but there is something to be said for having a lot of little companies in the media rather then just a few very large ones that are subsets of an even larger company...

Anyways, it was a very good movie and worth a watch when you get a chance.
