    Ha! Perfect. All I know is he's a fellow redhead so I already liked him. :) When I told him I named my son Wyatt, after Ellis, he said "Hey, really?! That's great! You know, Ellis is a good name too." I just wanted to hang out with him all day.

    The first thing Lew said to me when I shook his hand was a recognition and compliment of my "impressive facial folliculars."

    A very affable guy.

    It seemed they were all on our flight back home. After our flight was delayed, they proceeded to sprawl out on the floor and talk about pole moves and outfits. Riveting.

    I thought the cast was very good and Galt's speech was very well done. I could have done without the "We want Galt" chanting though. I wonder why the decision was made to not make it clear that Cheryl committed suicide? I also thought that the relationship between Dagny and Reardon wasn't resolved and Reardon was pretty much glossed over. I'm guessing budget constraints didn't allow for Project X to be fully shown. I really don't want to sound too critical. Overall, it was very well done. I think my favorite scene was with Dagny and Axton at his vinyard. It was very well written and Tobolowsky's acting was wonderful in that scene. I'm excited to see it again on the 12th. :)

    Agreed. And what a monumental task that must have been. If it had been longer, they would have lost the audience they are, and we are, incidentally, trying to reach. It was well spoken by Kristoffer and the meat of the message came through. I know there will be people who will say it had to be read in its entirety, but that's not possible. They would need two intermissions and by then, the audience is lost. It was an impossible task, made possible by some very tenacious people, funded by a man who knew the message of Atlas Shrugged needed a voice, RIGHT NOW. Especially now. Now Non Fiction.

    OMG, was that funny or what!? When my husband and I were on the way to the airport yesterday, we saw the billboard for it! I almost choked.. It explains the myriad "Pole" themed t-shirts Kathy Wiso, her boyfriend and my husband and I saw at the pool and all over the hotel... Some of them it was a stretch to think of, on a pole...

    Bwahahahaaaaa!! That's when my husband and I first ran into you! We get on the elevator and Eud says, "When this woman gets off the elevator, you have to look at the back of her pants. It's the funniest thing I've ever seen.", whereupon we arrived at our floor first....slightly awkward pause.. But nonetheless, funny because he told us to, in essence, check out her butt, however we could not see her butt... I later saw Eud, and laughed because he then explained what was written across her bum on her short shorts! I'm still laughing! :-p

    Would anyone like to join in a pool as to how long until JaimeF (the return of JFuchs) gets zotted?

    Thanks for the reviews. I'll probably have to wait for the BluRay. Sigh...

    The following are my opinions.

    The cast in part three really understood their characters well.

    Polaha nailed Galt, especially in the speech.
    The speech *will not* disappoint.

    Tobolowski nailed Akston.

    Temple was a better Wyatt than Beckel, and I liked Beckel.

    Regan was the best Dagney of the three.

    Very, very enjoyable movie.
