Hurtling into award season it's easy to get lost in all the incredible cinema made by charismatic and compelling performers and insightful and provocative filmmakers. | But for all the art it may produce, moviemaking is always essentially a business.

This makes intuitive sense. Presidents have more leverage with Congress to shape legislation to their liking when their party controls one or both chambers, and congressional leaders | usually try to avoid showdowns with presidents of their own party. Conversely, a Congress run by the opposition may deliberately seek out confrontation — sending bills to the White House that are sure to get vetoed so as to sharpen political contrasts with the president.
By their nature, pocket vetoes can’t be overrid... |
