You seeing the Atlas Shrugged movie? I didn't even know such a thing existed.

It's like, very limited release and I'm not betting on it being very good. Some other volunteers and folks from the LPPA are going in a big group but I don't really have the time.

There were rumors going around that Angelina Jolie would have played Dagny, but they didn't turn out to be true. OH WELL.

So the only fresh tomato for it from a traditional media outlet is the New York Post guy.

Well, I wonder if you can make Ayn Rand's stuff entertaining to the average person, especially one only vaguely familiar with her whole philosophy? I mean, I'm sure the Libertarians and Objectivists are going to enjoy it, but that's like saying that Trekkies will like the next Star Trek film.

Isn't it a little weird that they set the movie in modern times yet kept it about a railroad company?

I mean, it made sense in the 1950s,but...

I'm quite familiar with the philosophy and even I don't find it entertaining.

I genuinely enjoy Muse, though.
