Did they get a macho Reardon?

Reardon is a bit part in AS3. John Galt is the macho lead in this movie.

This movie is set in 'today' with a script from the 1950s - that's why younger people think it's 'corny'. My guess is the producers wanted it to come off this way to show what a visionary Rand was 60 years ago.

Those books take a thousand pages to tell a story that 400-500 would have done with some effective editing....

I think it might also be the Russian style, which tends to be long. I base this on having read other Russian authors.

The local theater in my area didn’t carry AS3 either.

I’ve seen all three parts in theaters. None had a greater audience than a few dozen people, including today. The applause was the loudest and longest today (I started it, though, all three times).

I once told a boss of mine that e never had to worry about me going postal....

Mainly because I hate amateurs.

He was concerned after that, for some reason.

Thanks for the ping. Think I’ll wait for the DVD. That’s how I watched to first two parts.

I realize the producers made this on a shoestring and good for them. I wish they had been able to convince the actors to hang around for all three parts.

It’s fortunate that Ayn Rand isn’t looking down from above.

You never know.

As H. L. Mencken said when asked what he would say if he was wrong about an afterlife.

He said he would approach the throne and say, "Gentlemen, I was wrong."

She was a drug addict, which might at least partially explain why the book is so unbearable.

Yes but the tv writers would have made Hank Rearden gay.

"I bet Ayn Rand was the kind of person that really liked hearing herself talk"

You can hear an interview with her here, she was capable of getting to the point...

http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=7ukJiBZ8_4k

In this interview she explains her atheism.
