I hope when they finally bring in John Galt, he's played by Ron Paul.

I'd definitely pay to see that shit.

That speach has to happen! God I'm excited, I can't believe part 2 even got made.

Begging the free market to give you a showing? Um, I'm pretty sure Ayn Rand would oppose that.

@3 Boom!

But I requested it. I was the 89th person in the Seattle-Metro area. So, you're welcome.

If someone really wanted Atlas Shrugged in their town, they would step up and pay to bring it in. That's how the free market works, champ.

Geez. I live in the heart of libertarian country, and only 34 people here requested it.

Granted, most of the lbertarians here are afraid the computer is trying to read their thoughts through their CRT monitors...

So what you're saying that there are at least 89 uesless breathers in Seattle?

@9 Galt would outsource himself to China if he believed any of the claptrap his Russian mistress told him.

You'd be far better off watching "Farewell, My Queen!" instead. It might teach you something, plus the addition of nude scenes with Virginie Ledoyen and others make it far more watchable.

Now, if I can get all my 50 fictional accounts to "demand" it in Johnson's Landing, BC, than it will have more people requesting it than live there. Wish me luck.

No no no no! This is a curse to be sworn against a town. I say we make Portland watch it.

I'm going to build my own movie theater and invite the coolest people to see this movie.

Everyone else can just stay home and not watch this movie. Because all the cool people will be in my theater. Watching this movie. In my theater.

@12 yes, but Portland has to live with us getting the Cup again. How about Spokane?

Lacks the believable characters and compelling plot of Battlefield Earth.

@14

As a former liberal resident of precariously balanced Spokane, I'd rather we not make it any harder for my comrades. Send that shit to Idaho or the tri-cities.

If the cast and crew are all new, someone new should review it.

@19 - I will do this terrible thing for you.

The monologue would be AMAZING in Atlas 3. If only in a Clockwork Orange wire-your-eyelids-open way.

Seriously, most people quit the book when they get to Galt's speech. 90 pages of monologue will crush even the most masochistic of readers.

What happened to the cast of Part I? Did they go John Galt?

Good joke. Everybody laugh. Roll on snare drum. Curtains.

The new cast for "Atlas Shrugged 2" includes the holographic Doctor from "Star Trek:Voyager," the dude who played Jethro in the movie of "The Beverly Hillbillies," Leland Palmer from "Twin Peaks," the dad from "Family Ties," and Teller, of Penn & Teller.

The message here couldn't be clearer:

someone must immediately revive "The Love Boat," as these desperate actors need work so bad, they sound like they're one step away from selling a kidney for cash.

THE GUY WHO PLAYED BIFF FROM BACK TO THE FUTURE...

SAMANTHA MATHIS (hot in Pump Up The Volume...played Princess Toadstool in Super Mario Bros???)...

DIEDRICH BADER (aka, Drew Carry's friend who's not Ryan Stiles)...

ARYE GROSS (!!!!!!)...

and playing the role of JOHN GALT:

D.B. SWEENEY (the guy from the ice skating movie who was then in a movie where he was abducted by aliens. oh wait, this was all 20 years ago).

Thanks for playing everyone.

Mission accomplished...but only 25 fellow Rand-heads in all of Dallas-Ft.Worth?

My city shames me. Again.

Read the book. Didn't make it through the first 5 minutes of the movie.

Michael Gross is in this stinker? He must just be in it for the trains (he's a huge foamer)

Usually, I love a bad film, but anything that exposes, however slightly, the writings of that drug-addled sociopath is an instant NO for me. I'm not an overly sensitive type, but the glee with which she wrote about the train wreck in "Atlas Shrugged" was sickening.

Any Rand is dead. I'm glad she's dead. I don't want to see a film version of any of her grade z romance-novel-meets-snuff schlock.

@23 - not the doctor from Voyager! He was so good in Gremlins 2! And Biff! Poor, sweet stupid Biff. It just gets worse and worse.

It really does say "Demand Atlas to your town" which doesn't make any sense grammatically.

Idiots can't even afford a proofreader.
