LOL  


RESPONSE from Head RAZZberry: Berry funny article -- Looks like they entrusted the creation of the DVD materials to the same people who made the movie -- i.e. NINCOMPOOPS!

THis was a huge disappointment.  The director was terrible, the actors seemed to have no idea what to do, and the screenplay just inept.  All they had to do was follow the book.  Rand was a screen writer, and she knew how it was done.  Had they hired a better directory/screen writer -- it wouldn't have cost that much more -- and they might have had something.  The casting wasn't bad, and the look of the movie was up to the task.  Big sigh!  

At least the movie was about something, and how often does that happen any more?  

   
Movies are too important to be left to the critics.

This film relates pretty closely to the original book (Ayn Rand is a favorite of mine) -- or rather to the first third of the book, not to the first HALF. Only because I admire the book, I think it is a worthy suggestion.  

RESPONSE from Head RAZZberry: This movie was never intended to cover the first half of the book -- It was originally proposed as the first film of a trilogy based on Rand's novel. But given the combined critical and box office brickbats that greeted this first effort (it got a paltry 13% Approval at R.T.  and grossed an embarrassing $4.6 million on a $20 million production budget - MoJo LINK) it now appears extremely unlikely that a second (or third) installment will ever be made by these film-makers...

I read that John Galt is being played by the director. This has shades of M. Night in Lady In The Water.

So when it comes to the title "Atals Shrugged": By "shrugged", did they mean at the box office?!?

Of course and not only, they will go on strike which is becoming a fashion.

That's a bad bet, because either way, you lose: 

1. You either just lost a thousand dollars, or... 

2. The billboard people can't collect, because the world will have come to an end! 

But I like your Jesus billboard idea. Another good slogan would be Jesus saying "Don't bother holding your breath for my return, I'm going to take awhile."

January 2012?! That's the most generous expiration date anyone has given that company!

It probably won't be that hard to find a DVD copy of this. Unless Blockbuster goes out of business before January 2012 (not entirely impossible) there should be any number of un-rented copies collecting dust on their shelves by then.  I imagine a similar situation will prevail at most rental outlets.

Just out of curiuosity, won't it be difficult for a lot of Razzie-voters to find a copy and see this film before voting begins. I mean it is already in limited realease and there are no real big names attached. I don't want to be pesemistic or anything but i doubt that my video rental place will have a copy when it's released on DVD.

It will be interesting to see how well they stuck to the plot of the book. For anyone who saw the fountainhead they will be aware that the book and movie were quite a bit different; especially in the way the characters were portayed. I wasn't a huge fan of either and most of Ayn Rand's work is mediocre.
