Default Atlas Shrugged

http://www.imdb.com/title/tt0480239/

I'm not sure I agree with Jolie as Dagny Taggart, the collagen lips don't suit, but it's Hollywood so whatever.

They are going to have to hack... most... of the book to make the film. I wonder how hard it'll ---- with me to see it.

well, youll never have the same experience with a movie as you did a book. dont get your hopes up. it will never be as good as the book.

for example, i couldnt sit down and read Caddy Shack 2 the novel. there's just no way

I'm not going to watch it. You can't turn 1200 page books into movies. To put the John Galt speach in alone would be 45 minutes spoken.

Slug got around a bit in the book. I'd say it should be a guarantee.

This is why I refuse to watch the remake of "The day the earth stood still"



At least with "Hitchhiker's Guide to the Galaxy" Douglas Adams wrote the ------- screenplay, so it wasnt totally bunk hollywood BS.

Wow thats a book that I didn't think would get made into a movie. I wish I had time to read ---- like that. I'm guessing there are less than 3 people here that have actually read that. I would definitely like to see the movie.

I didn't think they'd find three actors in Hollywood who were politically neutral enough to agree to act in it.

I really liked the book but i don't have high expectations for a movie version, its alot harder to convey what they are thinking and alot of other ----, hopefully though they will cut out most of the romantic bullshit and they 30 page speaches, sorry but the john galt speech only held my attention for the first 15 pages or so, then its like "---- ALRIGHT MAN I GET IT..."

Can't think of any books I have read that were made into movies that weren't dissapointing, like the Davinci Code, or Dreamcatcher, but meh I'm not a movie person anyway, I'll still watch it though.
