It's on blu-ray too but who cares. Rand is a boring, long winded writer. Not quite as boring as Stephen Crane, author of Red Badge of Courage, but close. All she does is preach about her religion. Pretty much the bible of her bastardized version of syndicate capitalism she wants the world to have through revolution. She's pretty much the Che Guerra of the not so free market.

I was wrong, apparently part 2 is coming out and will be better than the first!

Rand is a wordsmith committed to exposing the greatness of man's mind and those who would destroy it. She hated crony capitalism and if she were alive today, she would be making mince meat out of the Obama administration ... and by the way ... the big government Republicans as well.
 
Oh please! Ayn Rand was a hypocrite. She espoused garbage about how the government takes and gives to others who don't deserve. Yet she was an illegal immigrant who gamed the US government by pretending to want a visitor visa. Once her visa ran out she was outraged that her lie was caught. She then married ole' Frank to again game the system. But, she wrote about how bad others were who gamed the system to gain "socialist welfare" like with subsidies. Then she made an exception to excuse her lies by claiming there should have been open borders. I still don't understand what excuse she had for needing a man, who she was his property and that made his property a citizen. What kind of feminist is that?

Ayn Rand was just as fucked up as the rest of us. The only difference between her and a real rational person, is the rational person realizes this. We need the comfort of others. Others aren't just people who get in the way of finding your true self like her warped mind thought.

OK, let's agree to disagree when it comes to Ayn Rand. IMHO, she was a great writer ... and yes, like a lot of artists, she had some idiosyncrasies in her life. And more to your point, I don't agree with Rand on everything. For example, she was an atheist. I believe in The Trinity. She was very much pro abortion. I believe that abortion is murder. In spite of that, I stand on the ground that she was an insightful writer and play-write. Damn man ... read her essay titled "Apollo Eleven," then get back to me. :)
 
Charlie,

Exactly. She would have made mince meat of you over those two stupid issues. That's rather silly.She really needed to chill out. Religion or abortion stance don't sum the person. Yet she did exactly that against Nathaniel Branden with his pro-life and ESP views. That's just petty to me. People need to be more tolerant of others differences. That's why I don't like objectivism. Nothing is absolute, that's what makes us all different. And that's a good thing!

I'm an atheist too. Glad you're open minded enough to not dismiss on that alone, unlike many theists tend to do sadly.
 
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.

Was is your intent to plagiarize John Rogers of Kung Fu Monkey, or did you just forget the quotations?
 
The film met with a generally negative reception from professional critics – e.g., an aggregate rating on Rotten Tomatoes of 13% 'fresh' as of 4 June 2011 – with weak box office performance - e.g. less than $5 million in total box office receipts.[

What is rated as the greatest movie of all time was also met by less than stellar ratings, in fact most of the newspapers refused to even run the reviews of the film.
 
Pulp fiction is a great movie along with Resivoir dogs

However it was my wife who pointed out he was dead when his wife dropped the Ring
