I’m no objectivist and Ayn Rand’s anti-Christian sentiments actually offend me quite a bit, but if the deal goes through for the Randall Wallace-helmed and written Atlas Shrugged film treatment, then I’ll be there on opening day.

Read Atlas Shrugged more than 40 years ago.I was afraid,then that what she wrote would come to pass in the World,and it looks like she was right.
I didnt find it a dull read.It could make a great movie for this time.

Read Atlas Shrugged in the 1960s. Reread again in the 1980s, just finished rereading this year. Any Rand nailed it and we are now living in the world she forecast.

Pecos Pete - do you mean the world brought about by unbridled capitalist greed set free by deregulation, i.e where we are today?
Burke| 4.3.09 @ 9:58AM
What "unbridled capitalist greed"?
We' re not a capitalistic nation and have not been for a very long time. Govt's here take outright about 40% of the GNP and "take" by control a lot more. As Milton Friedman said not long before he died, we're "more than 50% socialist right now."
It's not capitalism that's failing. It's the massive intrusion of govt into the economy. Thieves in Washington and elsewhere living like parasites off the rest of us.

Ayn Rand was a prophet.
Capitalistic Pig| 8.22.09 @ 7:27PM
Mike, that wasn't Capitalism that failed it was a bunch of companies tring to live off the Govt tit. When they all bought the line of 'secure morages' from the Govt and they weren't, instead of a bailout they should have been allowed to go belly up. U haven't seen the real Free Market. I hope I'll see it's return. Can't wait for this movie.
