HOLY CARP!!!

I didn't even know that they're making a movie for "Atlas Shrugged," much less a trilogy. But, apparently, they open the first of the trilogy on Tax Day, today! http://www.huffingtonpost.com/michael-shermer/atlas-shrugged-but-you-sh_b_849582.html |

I didn't know this was being made either - but I'm happy it is. The Randian in my approves. |

These days, the massive rambling monologue spanning hundreds of pages would be taken from a podcast on iTunes rather than the radio. Are you podcasting, JG? |
| As a good person, I implore you to do as I, a good person, do. Be good. Do NOT be bad. If you see bad, end bad. End it in yourself, and end it in others. By any means necessary, the good must conquer the bad. Good people know this. Do you know this? Are you good? | |

No podcasts, Horace. At least not yet. You can either read all 1200 pages or cut to the chase (courtesy Spark Notes):

I should've been clear that by Randian, I was referring to Ayn Rand and Objectivism, not James Randi...

[stirring the pot] "Objectivism" is a poo-laden, fallacy-festooned philosophy. Ayn Rand sucks. [/stirring the pot] |

I suspect the only way I could be enticed to watch this movie would be if it were directed by Woody Allen, or failing that Mel Brooks. |

Atlas Shrugged will be the movie for Objectivists in the way Battlefield Earth was for Scientologists.

The Confederate soldier was peculiar in that he was ever ready to fight, but never ready to submit to the routine duty and discipline of the camp or the march. The soldiers were determined to be soldiers after their own notions, and do their duty, for the love of it, as they thought best. Carlton McCarthy | |

NPR should've been in the top 3, that's disappointing. They work VERY hard to rank highly. IT: Battlefield Earth *was* a movie for Scientologists, and was created to hopefully "clear" large numbers of us, so... AL: Objectivism definitely has some weak points, and in my opinion some strong points. It's not by any stretch some sort of "unifying theory" of all things, but I don't find it worthless either. |

Fair enough, I just don't give Rand much credit for anything. |
