To: Desperately Seeking Freedom
I think ponderous is an excellent description. I wish that someone would take the theme and ideals of the book and work them into a novel that a person with less dedication to reading one book for weeks or months could handle.

I heard some time ago that a movie was going to finally be made about Atlas Shrugged. My first thought was "wow, longest movie ever..."

Actually three different movies for the three sections of the book and staring Bradgelina. She, as Dagney Taggart and guess who is John Galt?

Certainly the longest movie ever in the planning process. I mean, a "future" world where the hero has to stop at a pay phone and ask for a long distance operator, and where a railroad company is at the forefront of technology? How will the screenwriters handle that?
