While we're very happy to have you in the Gulch and appreciate your wanting to fully engage, some things in the Gulch (e.g. voting, links in comments) are a
privilege, not a right. To get you up to speed as quickly as possible, we've provided two options for earning these privileges.
- You must reach a Gulch score of 10. You can earn points in the Gulch by posting content, commenting, or by other members voting up your posts.
- You may upgrade to a Galt's Gulch Producer membership to immediately gain these privileges.
Your current Gulch score:
Of course.
Then why are the producers requesting donations on Kickstarter?
you should check out his novels, winter
wow.
a sentence worthy of Tom Paine. thanks.
Usually one supports assertions with facts, thus demonstrating the reasoning behind the assertion.
You certainly aren't demonstrating anything but your meagre control of vitriol.
why?
Months ago, David Kelley's "TAS" site was requesting financial donations for AS-III, even after Aglialoro/Kaslow announced that the film was "fully funded."
A bit later, on this site, requests appeared for crowd-sourcing story aspects of the film, such as Galt's speech, casting, etc. Remember this: "What do gulchers feel is the most important thing to get right in AS-III: 1) casting, 2) screenwriting, 3) directing, 4) special effects, 5) get the message right"?
Now, under guise of "being part of the movie," you're asked to donate money.
Wanna know what I think? Of course you do!
I think this movie is NOT fully funded, and the screenplay is not ready yet.
And as I've posted numerous times here, the main problems with Parts I and II were crappy screenwriting and stiff, unimaginative, 1st-year film-school-level directing. The bigger and more general problem is that the producing team of Aglialoro/Kaslow is incompetent.
In a YouTube video,

Aglialoro said "I don't care if I've got to fire five directors — that's fine. We're going to get it right."
That moronic statement tells me right away that he has no idea what he's doing, and no idea what a director is for on a motion picture.
Aglialoro is simply a guy with a lot of money who wants to play at being a movie producer; Kaslow is simply a lawyer who wants to do the same.
I'm at the point where I just want done with the damned thing!
we have the world to win
In between working on my damned interminable book, I've been checking in on the kickstarter
If I can fit it in tomorrow, I will be opening a dedicated bank account to throw my kickstarter funds into.
I will be initially pledging $500.00
I'd like to be able to get into the upper tiers though.
So I'll be spending the next month looking to offload some of the big ticket items that I planned on getting rid off before moving.
Nothing like a little motivation!
Later they "reached out" to the online Objectivist community requesting donations. Now they're on Kickstarter.
Isn't it time for them to admit that funding is NOT in place for part 3?
