If you haven’t seen or heard of it, yes, they made a movie
out of Atlas Shrugged, the book of Ayn Rand. Rather, they made a movie of the
first part of the book, intending to do two more movies.
The result was somewhat low rent. Not really the best of
anything, but that was because no one really wanted to donate money to get the
movie made (Had they no appreciation of Randian philosophy?)
So the movie was made, it was in theaters, we all made
jokes (Mr. Mendo did a humorous review of this flop.), and it left the theaters, having made less than $5 million of it's $20 million budget. I wonder if it worked like those lousy
religious movies, where the movies really bad, but it espouses ones beliefs, so
you love it? No matter it was gone. ...
... Until the DVD was released.
Yep. Really a class operation there. They truly got the core
message of Rand, getting and using social security and Medicare.
But that’s not even the end of it. Like Frodo warned of 2/3rd’s
of the way through Return of the King, “There’s room for more.” ...
... Yep. They conned…they got more support and have continued
the vanity project. Come on, after Battlefield Earth no one was raced
out to do the next part of the story. They had the good sense to burn their
identities and walk away. Except, Travolta, he just got a relaxing massage.
