5. I can't believe this is being adapted

First of all it's a shit book.
Second of all it's fucking massive.
Third of all, a good chunk of it is dedicated to a monologue of epic proportions, something that is doubtful to translate well to cinema.

On the upside, it looks like it's pretty low-budget, and the cast looks like strictly C-list and below.
I smell a bomb. Of course, when it does, the rabid Randians will denounce the Marxist conspiracy to keep the movie suppressed, no doubt.
