What the **** are you talking about? Boring!?! Didn't you see that part where that chubby guy raises his voice in anger? I have four words that should set every moviegoer's heart racing with excitement-- Moratorium! On! Railroad! Bonds! I mean, what more could you possibly want from a movie? I hear theatres are going to be given explicit instructions not to let anyone enter or leave the theatre during that old guy's press conference so that none of the rapt moviegoers are distracted. You pay for the whole seat, but you'll only need the edge! It's so timely as well. I mean, what could possibly have more relevance to our post-modern 21st Century existence than the construction of railroads? They really tapped into the zeitgeist with this one! Is "Atlas Shrugged" the most thrilling movie ever made? "To a successful business partnership." "I'll drink to that." BOOM! HOLY ****! I'M CAMPING OUT TO BE FIRST ONE IN LINE TO SEE THIS MOVIE!Originally Posted by tagutcow
Christians, Jews; whatever. Just as long as the A-rabs are the villains, it's all good. And according to those leftist America haters over at CNN, the movie "debuted to a decent $1.7 million from 300 theaters." http://insidemovies.ew.com/2011/04/1...ream-4/?hpt=T2 I'll be curious to see how well its box office numbers hold up.Originally Posted by JustChris
Funny, I always thought the Ayn Rand Institute/The Atlas Society had a kind of Scientology-esque recruitment philosophy. Certainly I remember in high school there would be ARI essay contests in the like. Perhaps this movie is an attempt to capitalize on Tea Party discontents, and use it to sell Ayn Rand's philosophy to middle America. But it took John Travolta to bring Battlefield Earth to the big screen, so who's behind this?Originally Posted by tagutcow
The first third of the book was almost strictly character development for the latter portion, so while the first movie is almost guaranteed to be boring, the latter 2/3 of the book crescendos into a magnificent explosion of classically liberal/libertarian perfection.Originally Posted by gtg732w
