How did this movie trilogy bomb with Tea Party support? Occupy Wall Street sabotage?
>>221284211libertarianism is never a destination, but a mid pointeither you turn around hard and end up a commie (and trans), or you accelerate and end up a fascist in charge of telling everyone else what to do
>>221284284Holy either/or fallacy.What does that have to do with the flicks not being successful at the box office?
>>221284211I don't think it's a good idea to adapt such a dense book into a movie unless it's a starship troopers type situation where the movie supplements the book instead of replacing it. Anthem would work much better as a film.
>>221284715>movie supplements the book instead of replacing itwhat the fuck does that even mean? it was split into 3 parts. by what criteria is a movie supplementing vs replacing?
>>221284211iirc its not even a trilogy it's like multiple different productions that each flopped individually
>>221284284Right wingers are infinitely more gay than leftists. No amount of leftist virtue signaling can change that. Conservatism is an inherently homosexual mentality.
>>221284211Not enough explosions. Seriously though, Atlas Shrugged is some boring fucking shit so they aren't necessarily to be faulted.
>>221284971preach
>>221284951You did not fully recall correctly. There was turnover of the cast and some elements of production. But John Aglialoro and Harmon Kaslow produced (and wrote two out of) all three.>$9 million gross on a $35 million budgetoof
>>221284971>gay is good>unless you're conservative, then it's ickySounds like you're engaging in wishful thinking
>>221285023on that note the fountainhead is a vastly superior book and the 40s film holds up great.>>221285054the production companies all changed between films, too. that could be some bizarre tax dodge or something idk.
>>221285139>and the 40s film holds up great.
I still the title is probably one of the all time titles of anything, never read the book though
>>221285023Its a great book that derives its entire theme from how awesome the main characters are. The people that claim to love independence and only getting what you work for are also mostly functionally illiterate.
>>221285320>functionally illiteratePaul Ryan, a Catholic, claimed it was one of his favorite books. He also said it inspired him to become a...public servant. ...and he forced all his staff to read it.
Part 1 was just a women having conversations with random people for 2 hours, and then I didn't watch part 2.
>>221285468>Paul RyanHaving two first names makes you look like a retarded toddler. It screams "don't respect me, don't take me seriously".
>>221285668Cool story bro.

Atlas Shrugged is a book about a wealthy heiress who is better at everything than everybody. She meets a man who creates a magic metal and together they search for a man who built a magical friction-less motor. Standing in their way are parodies of socialist thought and the rest of the stupid unwashed masses. Eventually they find the motor man living in a hidden valley that can only be seen by smart people. In the valley, all of the smart live in a utopia where they've cured numerous medical maladies and refuse to share this with humanity. Also the residents believe society will collapse without their greatness, but just to be sure they've cut-off vital supply lines to the greater public. Eventually magic motor man is captured by evil stupid people at which point he launches into a 100 page tirade laying out in autistic detail his personal philosophy, destroying any subtlety encountered thus far. Super heiress and metal man, along with Beast and Jubilee, take the blackbird to rescue motor man just as he's being electrocuted by stupid people. After they successfully extract him using the powers of objectivism, a magical sound weapon built by stupid people explodes and the country is reduced to covered wagons within hours.
>>221284284Libertarians were right about everything.Look at the inflation, price of goldLook at the stock and housing market bubbleBillionaires only exist because of the money printing.We warned you and you didn't listen.
>>221284211Why am I supposed to care if Atlas Shrugged?
>>221284971So should I like gays because they're minorities, or hate gays because they're right wing, but supporting gays is left wing, so that would make me right wing, which would make me gay.
Libertarianism only appeals to autistic people
Atlas shrugged is a great book because it allows you to immediately identify if someone is a complete raving retard. It's a lot like Harry Potter in that regards, except the people obsessed with HP just dress up in robes and embarrass themselves by acting like manchildren. They don't believe that they will gain the magic powers from their children's books if they just cut enough government programs, so they are still somewhat more intelligent than Rand's cult.
>>221286599That's cool and all but 90% of government programs need to be cut
>>221286653Don't care didn't ask
