Oh yes, they went there.

Is this why Republicans are opposed to Obama's plan for fast speed rail? Because Dagny Taggart has to be the one to build it?
I think General Stuart just hit the floor and twitched. The very mention of Ayn Rand's name around him throws him into hate rage.
Wow. They didn't even try to modernize the idea of the industry involved.
:lulz:
This is going to be EPIC! And by "EPIC!" I mean, "HORRENDOUS, and beloved by teabaggers everywhere".
I mean, you don't think it's an ACCIDENT that this pile of shit finally just happened to get funding now, right?
Oh god.
I know this is going to cause a massive influx of Randroids.
Itll make an epic Rifftrax though.

I'm already firing up the hate generators.
I live in hope that it is so abysmal that it will shut up the randians forever.

They won't. :(
The second and third matrix films all but killed off the mass appeal the first film generated.
If this is bad enough, it will make them think twice about ever hauling out that selfish bitch's drivel in a discussion.
A=A BITCHES!
In this case, a shitty sociopathic and hypocritical writer equals shitty sociopathic and hypocritical literature, and furthermore equals shitty sociopathic and hypocritical films.
Garbage In, Garbage Out.

We'll have endless fun getting them to decry the movie as "a corruption". :lulz:
You know, I never read the book, cuz a friend said it was crap back in high school. I just reread the wikipedia article on it. 70 fucking pages of John Galt preaching? Glad I never read it. I'd have more fun listening to Chavez talk.
Also, why are Tea Partiers so into it if the book is so anti-religion? Or do they just gloss over that?
None of them have actually read it, they just worship it.
Getting a lot of hate back from the comments section there.
Anyone who wants should go for it, its a gold mine.
Really?
This is real?
What the fuck did I just watch?
Awwww! My little 2yo nephew will love this movie.
He's, like, seriously into trains.
I wonder if they're sticking to Rand's demand that no dialogue be changed in movie adaptations of her work.
I hope so, I want to see the teabaggers try and sit still for an 8 hour movie. :lulz:

Not a chance in hell. In fact, I'm going to dig into the financing of this a bit. I'm willing to bet some sociopathic, Randian, Wall Street piece of shit living off government bailouts is involved, somewhere along the line.
I'm going to have to sneak into this, if it makes it to theaters in my area.
You know, on principle.

Thanks man, I was wondering to myself, "who is John Galt" and I didn't want to have to read the thing to find out.

I'm going to pirate it, for sure.
:lulz: this is going to be fun. I can't wait for my stepdad to decide he NEEDS to see this.
I need to pirate it so I can MST3K it in the theater.
Just tried to post a single, continuous speech from A.S. and got this error:
"The message exceeds the maximum allowed length (20000 characters)."
A fucking server just told me "TL;DR". Nice.

This is the guy funding it, according to my (admittedly rather scant) research. So, investment banking scum. The film is set to be a trilogy, as you probably guessed from the "part one" on the trailer.
Jesus, that trailer is like watching a bunch of shop dummies gang fuck bullion.

Critics groaned.
From the youtube comments.
QuoteHahaha, PG 13. If it was rated M it would lose its whole audience.
:lulz:
Wow, Dagney had almost no personality in the book, it would seem she has even less in the movie.
