'Atlas Shrugged' Producer Threatens to Go Galt
    #14362506 - 04/27/11 05:31 PM (13 years, 25 days ago)

Having lost around $20 million on Part 1, he's sick and tired of all these parasite critics trashing his masterpiece, and he's had it up to here with ungrateful audiences that refuse to buy enough tickets to recoup the cost of renting cinema screens.

So he's retreating to his invisible gulch, and if you want to see parts 2 and 3 you're just going to have to make them yourselves.

Parasites!

(Anyone else think it's great how this meta-withholding-of-productivity-by-a-millionaire is more entertaining than the movie about the same turned out to be?)

That book wasn't that good to begin with. I made it about 300 pages in before i had enough.

You are, of course, correct.  It does get rather tedious.  The Fountainhead is much better.

Making a film out of that book was just a terrible idea. I mean, really. Even those that support the themes in atlas shrugged have to admit it was terribly boring. The producer is making himself look like an idiot.
