At 1:50 when DAGNY FUCKING ABANDONS HER RAILROADS TO START HER OWN COMPANY CALLED JOHN GALT I threw up a LOT in my mouth. What a fucking travesty. What a fucking embarrassment. Fuck you. Read the fucking book.

Read the book years ago, not commenting, just passing along the information.

"There are two novels that can change a bookish fourteen-y­ear old’s life: The Lord of the Rings and Atlas Shrugged. One is a childish fantasy that often engenders a lifelong obsession with its unbelievab­le heroes, leading to an emotionall­y stunted, socially crippled adulthood, unable to deal with the real world. The other, of course, involves orcs."

Not my words, but a quote I read somewhere.

Now THERE'S a subject line I never thought I would see on the ECCIE boards. Wow!

Speaking of throwing up in one's own mouth: Im sure Ayn herself is turning in her grave. This movie will blow chunks. Why? Because the Hollywood system cant make a fucking good movie. Period. Ok, ok I'm ranting...sorry.

Please do not insert rude joke about Ayn Rand's BBBJ skills here. I'm partial to that woman...for her mind. She makes my "fountainhead" swell up.

Talk about sexual objectivism...HA!

Oh hey! That wasn't aimed at you, it was aimed at the screen writers lol

My first Ayn Rand book, The Fountainhead, made the biggest impression on me. Here's the short version.

It would take a miracle for Hollywood to do Ayn Rand and get it right - and I don't believe in miracles.

1940s Hollywood did alright with The Fountainhead. Of course, they had Ayn Rand to write the screenplay and Gary Cooper to play the leading man.

Different story today.

Hey, John Galt! I think Ayn Rand is a racist by your reasoning because she used the word "neoconservative". Why does she hate the Jews? LOL

Thanks for the links BottomFeederKC. Mike Wallace is a badass. Ayn Rand just creeps me out. What's wrong with her eyes? They dart back and forth like a criminal's eyes.

Ayn Rand on religion. How many of you wanna-be Objectivists believe in God? If so, you're not a true believer, just a cherry picker.
