How about the "Drill-Bit scene" with Cooper pounding that rock with his drill and the rich girl getting all "hot&bothered"?

the idea that they are fans of Ayn Rand just strikes me as absurd.

You are assuming that these 2 empty headed actors actually understand Rand. This is probably just their publicist talking.

Pshaw-! John Galt was an argumentative lad too quick to label supporters of the Iraq Invasion as "Statists", or "Wilsonians", or even "Sheeple".

He was, however, fun to argue with before his banning.

He seems more like the pirate. Put him in as Ragnar Danneskjold.

Please calm yourself. You will need to be calm when you realize that the casting choice is a sharp poke in the eye for any Any Rand devotee. I am interested, but not a die hard. Way too much narrow thinking, IMHO.

Also, please rest assured that there isn't a single worthwhile work of art or fiction that Hollywood/Commie Central can't totally twist and misinterpret, until the final result always looks like "Stalin Does Dallas". Ignore them because they are beneath you. Why? Because you dare to question...

Branjolina is a sorry mess who are bringing a hapless innocent child into this world. The Clinton Rule of Thumb applies when you carefully read their respective bios:

Brad is bad. Angelina is evil.

You bet. That's why I chose the shots from Sky Captain (a horrible movie and a tremendous waste of talent).

Angelina Jolie, a longtime devotee of Rand's, and Brad Pitt, also a fan,

Did they campaign for Kerry?

This little gem was also included in the article...

"Oliver Stone was attached to direct a remake of "Fountainhead" for Warner Bros. and Paramount, but the project has languished in development. Along the way, Pitt expressed interest in playing Roark."

Just makes one want to cry ...

I don't know his name but the actor who plays Frasier's brother would make a good Phillip Rearden.........
