If Congress is making laws and policy based on movies, we have a bigger problem then which movies they base it on.

- IgorPartola 12y agoI don't know, if they watched Inconvenient Truth, it might benefit some of the knuckleheads there. Or 12 Years a Slave. Or even Lincoln.
- lifeisstillgood 12y agoWell the Congressional Cinema Club could put on some special showings and ask for sponsorship - Car Manufacturers Lobby: Bullit - Anti Car Lobby: Duel - Trans-Atlantic Airlines Lobby : Titanic - Construction Lobby: Bridge over the River Kwai - Elon Musk : Iron Man 1 or 3 (but not 2) - The Hamptons Tourist Board: The wicker man - The Banjo Players association of America: Deliverance - Tesla Car Showrooms: Death of a salesman - Climate Change Deniers Lobby: Some Like It Hot - Liberal Atheists for a kinder America: Any Harry Potter
- godkingjim 12y ago"The Hamptons Tourist Board: The wicker man" I'm curious; what you mean by this one?
- anigbrowl 12y agoI laughed hard at this one! The Hamptons is basically a vacation destination in eastern New York state for very very wealthy people, who don't want any riff-raff cluttering up their picturesque vacation views. 'The Wicker Man' is a film (+ a remake) about a police officer who goes to investigate a crime in a remote idyll where everyone knows everyone else and runs into...problems. Translation: let's ensure that the 'wrong' people stay away.
- lifeisstillgood 12y agoYeah, did not sleep well for a week after watching that one :-)
- djent 12y agoFrom the article: Congress passed the original CFAA in 1984 in direct response to the seminal hacker flick Wargames.
- omnibrain 12y agoThey probably watched Reefer Madness back in the day...
