One of the greatest movie Trilogies of our lifetime will finally release the 3 part...



Seriously?

This movie has lost money again and again. Parts #1 and #2 both had wretched reviews and neither movie recouped it's cost in release and yet they still made the 3rd. And unlike other great movie trilogies in our lifetime like Star Wars or The Godfather or Lord of the Rings - The Atlas Shrugged Series has managed to recast the parts each time with lesser and lesser actors. I feel bad, the first Dagny Taggert was played by Taylor Schilling who went on to play Piper Chapman in the Netflix series "Orange is the New Black". She wasn't as well known when she did the first Atlas Shrugged - perhaps she knew a sinking ship when she was on it.

Well, the point is to promulgate propaganda. The profits are a long-term effect. n/t DebJ Sep 2014 #1

I reviewed the vacuum pump that was Part 1 and Final, someone else did Part 2, so now it's up to me.

The weird thing about this shit...in part 1 Dagny had to fight the unions to install her new track. Guys were getting killed on the old track...exactly how many unions are going to bitch because the company wanted to spend money? You will note tho that of the $10 million they spent on the movie, $9 million was spent on the CGI railroad track because they sure as fuck didn't spend any money building sets, buying costumes or electricity for lights, or hiring someone who knows what a focusing ring does.
