Ok, read dk's post. That'll piss you off! It did me!!

calm down, take a drink of WATER. Have you read the book?

If they don't go back to the "First" cast . . . COMPLETELY, P3 will "FAIL", an fail "BADLY".

I am completely DISCUSSED with Pt-2 . . . How "DARE YOU" . . . REPLACE, not just "ONE" of the actors . . . but "ALL" of them ?????????? How STUPID can you BE ?. Should you FAIL to "RESTORE" the first cast, the "Third" installment, will simply FAIL, an fail BADLY. . . .there it is.

I never thought about this "Recession" as being the STRIKE. I am always the last to get the word. (grin)

I agree. I am going to try and take this into the Gulch and like Ragnar use it to our advantage. In the field of online advertising I have a real life Galt's Motor‎. The ability to advertise a product to self-identified buyers without waste. Zero waste. No audiences to buy, no traffic to buy, no circulation to buy, no rating points. Just buyers, it gives your products and services exposure to buyers at the precise moment when they are about to buy. No pay-per-click. It took 9 years to find the Holy Grail of advertising. The industry has all ways said that you have to buy the audience to get the buyers. 35 years ago that's what my advertising professors taught. You don't. Like Gault's Motor it's the only way that makes sense after you see it work. It will allow Gulch companies to avoid the #1 Moocher and the waste the Moocher is promoting. They are just cheating companies out of their marketing dollars. This is a way for Gulch companies to reach out and take back what is being mooched and looted in a very real world way. Producers know why I have worked 7-2am. You are doing it too. Maybe it has been for this point in time. If enough of us bring our inventions into the Gulch and can make a living here... like Haley's 5th they become part of the mystique, the benefits and advantages of a real world Gulch. Each new tool makes the Gulch more and more real for more Producers. The more resources and talent the more of us that can turn the corner.

For me, I feel like we are living the nightmare. At least in the movie and the book some people are taking action rather than just taking a beating. It gives me hope to know there is some defense. I have struggled with my business for 35 years and now it seems like the very real looters are sucking the oxygen out of everything. I work from 7am until 2am most days. The Looters just tax me and regulate me, and steal more than I make. They take their vacations on my earnings. They make me the criminal when they are stealing from me. They take what I earn and more no matter how hard I work. The movie's are a quick fix. I don't make enough to actually protect myself from the Looters' system right now. I need the movie, until I can find a place to make it real. So I buy the DVD movies, watch them in the theaters, rent them in Netflix, anything that I can afford. Because I just hope they do a great job on the next Atlas Shrugged.

It made me feel better too... I wonder why? Nice to know others can see what we see maybe?

When ever I am feeling low I watch #1 or #2. I don't know how to explain it but it makes me feel better.

I just rewatched part 1 again. The end breaks my heart every time, even though I know it is coming.

Wait till you see it, It will blow your mind how right on you are about it feeling like real life.
ON Strike, to me equates to Money "going into hiding" whenever
government make it hard on the Producers.

Agree on all of above especially dagny

Definitely agree w you on mouch

I thought Taylor Schilling stole the show in P1, although I liked both casts overall. Can't wait to see how P3 is cast. If we have to go with a completely new cast, what suggestions do you fine Gulchers have?

Yeah...just found that, but it's confusing... Atlas isn't there when Hank is standing...then when he's sitting, it's there...I don't think it was hidden behind his chair either. lol

Try 12:37 and on, It's shown several times -- center screen!

I see Ayn on the monitor....don't see Atlas in the office at 49:42 :(

Look at 5:52 and 49:42 in the movie.

Are you sure??? I'm going to go look right now.

A couple more "Easter Eggs" from Part 1 -- Dagny has a picture of Ayn Rand on her computer monitor in her apartment. Hank Reardon has a Atlas statue in his office.

I missed it as well. We stopped it and played it again to catch it. It was funny, we all looked at each other and asked what did she say?

right on, esk!

eili-
I agree with you on that! I remember it in the theater but I totally blew past it watching the DVD.

"I agree that the "you bore him" comment was hard to hear"
Hm. It was hard to hear last night, but I remember it being perfectly clear in the theater.
