I haven't expressed my admiration for the unbelievably wonderful, beautifully done, thoughtfully completed piece of work that AS3 is. There have been no words.
What I, in my innocence, didn't realize until I took a "like" trip to Facebook, was that there would be an enormous outpouring of hatred of John and Harmon and Joan and Scott and everyone else involved in the making of this film. And that flood of hatred, derision, hostility - true abhorrence - is coming from people who label themselves, in some way, Objectivists, Libertarians, and fellow travelers. They pick the film apart with whiny questions and firmly stated objections, until all meaning is lost to them, and then wonder why they aren't uplifted by it.
I admire everyone involved with the movie even more now that I have had the smallest glimpse of your "reward" - again, the use of your own talents against you. If you had not had everything it took to make this movie, you would not now be being ripped apart in public by those who should have been - in fact label themselves - your supporters.
You do have, at least, my grateful thanks and admiration for your achievement.

    I went opening night and absolutely loved ASIII.

    Thank you to everyone involved. As a side note one of my top students showed up today reading Atlas Shrugged. She was just into the opening pages but got everyone's attention. Maybe I need to start up an AS reading recess?

    There will always be those who insist on what they consider the ideal, yet refuse to contribute to bringing that to fruition. Then, they will snipe at the lack of completion. They are moochers of the worst sort.

    Even objectivists are functioning collectivists in this case. Yet what are those critics doing? Nothing.

    So well said, and mirrors my sentiments as well, Winter. Thank you for writing what you did. It is so much more than what the nit pickers are dissecting. What a daunting feat to take on, and see to fruition.
    Well done!
