 I'm sure the modern audience will sympathize with the oppressed aristocrats of the industrial era.

You know, I really do have to give props for at least making this film.  It appears to be independently made and distributed.  That can be a tough business to raise money for, and for this film it must have been particularily brutal.

Quote from: Movie Guy
Can I has monies to make Rand-ian spectacule?  Mr. Objectivist, please?
Quote from: Rich Dude
Why, I admire greatly the works of Ayn Rand.  Here, let me write you a check.
Quote from: Movie Guy
Um, sir.  The check is addressed to "Your Mama" and is for the amount of "Fuck Off!"
Quote from: Rich Dude
And?

Indeed.  You have no idea what the fuck the movie's about, or why you should go see it, based on the trailer.

Someone's trying too hard.

In any case:  Fuck Michael Moore.

Except for Canadian Bacon.  That's a classic.

After the movie inevitably fails at the box office more spectacularly than Maurice trying to get a woman to touch his junk, causing the other two installments to NOT get made, you have to wonder... will this mean that THE MARKET HAS SPOKEN re: objectivism???

the Ferengi' 9th rule of acquisition tells us that "Opportunity plus instinct equals profit" I somehow doubt that the Grand Nagus would think this film to be profitable.

But if Quark is willing to be a part of the film, surely he sees opportunity for profit in it.

Part 3 will necessarily have to be 2 hours of radio speech.

At least until the 3 hour Unrated Director's Cut comes out, with monologue too steamy for the original release!

It would be cool if they, like, came up with some awesome trippy visuals to illustrate Galt's speech.

LOL, glad this was the last reply

Have you decided how you’ll tackle John Galt’s epic speech in part three?

Well, I’m looking at a number of different things. Having John Galt give that speech, it might be in a casino environment. It might be that he is at a mountain retreat, rather than being where he is captured, not…that violent scene at the end. But we’re going to take a look. It doesn’t have to copy just that.

No, it absolutely will be a concentrate of entertaining words with a total, philosophic…But, you know, part three could be a musical…like a Les Miserables kind of a musical. That’s part of the impact and I guess I haven’t said this publicly yet, but I’m looking at it completely different if part three is a musical with quality music that’s done in a certain way that people will like. I mean, if you saw the play Les Miserable without the music, and then with the music, you may go in there saying, ‘oh hell, I would never want to see that great book in a musical.’ That’s going to shock a lot of people to see part three be a musical, and part two may be very different from part three and very different from part one. It has to be new, you know…We get a freshness, a vitality about it, and yet it has the same, rock-solid principles and philosophies that we all know and love.

Definitive cultural touchstone of the early '10s? Seems so

Also, I'm stealing "Quality music done in a certain way people will like" for my new band's tagline.

I'd say the film, at least this scene is actually competently directed, there's decent cinematography, tasteful music.  It looks like a real film, even the acting is sorta okay, the weird part is the dialog, which is just, how to say?  I don't know how to put it more succinctly rather then "ripped from a 1940's studio melodrama picture", which given the all the modern trappings on display just seems damn peculiar.
