Thank you.

Thank you very much for the compliments and endorsement. Editing helps cut out most of our nonsense.

No, that would be Chris. I laughed at your comment. Most of his ink is by Dave or "dude on the left".

Great to see you here!

After my previous 'wardrobe' comment, please tell me that you aren't the one in the middle....

If so, then I LOVE your tattoos.

wow. Thanks for coming in and sharing. great post. really enjoyed you guys and I then watched your review of Red State. Look around and settle in, we're a disparate bunch but we all love that book.
I tweeted out your review and hope to see you guys continue. It was like hanging around with some great conversationalists.

Welcome to the Gulch, Roger! Loved the review :)
Once you read the book you'll be chomping at the bit for part 3. (And probably a LOT more Rand as well. "wooden-prose"... ha! shame on SK.)

I am very happy to find individuals appreciating our movie review. Especially considering we just started and this was only our second pick. Chris had watched Atlas Shrugged Pt. 1 and seeming to be smitten by it had insisted we watched both films on our review night. I gave him a hard time cause it would be over 3 hours of viewing before we could ever film. He said after watching the first film I would be dying to watch the second. So I attributed it to watching Braveheart on VHS.

Though Chris did say "Who is John Galt?" which caused Dave and I to question him if he was trying to spoil the film. He said he wasn't. Seeing as I am the guy that hates SPOILERS, I didn't want to know anything about the films. I asked Chris if he was sure there were no other films and he said there wasn't. I didn't want to watch 2 films in one night and find out there was another one. So I did no research and trusted there were only 2 films.

Later in the week I was reading an article online when I read in a comment somewhere with someone saying something profound but ending with "Who is John Galt?" I thought I must see this movie now.

The day after watching the movie I watched Ayn Rand & the Prophecy of Atlas Shrugged on Netflix. Which I thoroughly enjoyed and recommended to Chris.

The day after that I was editing the video review, I took a break after editing to read. Currently reading Stephen King's 11/22/63 and wouldn't you know I would read a section about Ayn Rand's Atlas Shrugged. I thought "All Things Serve the Beam".

While editing I found it comical how I really felt a third film was possible, yet once society told me no, I accepted. Somewhat. So I left it in for comedic reasons. I was really happy to discover that there is another film to follow that tantalizing ending. It doesn't come out til 2014, so it gives me plenty of time to read the book. My current book is 850 pages, so a thousand of Ayn Rands are welcome. In Stephen Kings On Writing -A Memoir of the Craft- King states "Honesty in storytelling makes up for a great many stylistic faults, as the work of wooden-prose writers like Theodore Dreiser and Ayn Rand shows, but lying is the great unrepairable fault."

the "dude on the left" went to the trouble of screen sharing a copy of the cover of the book so I think there's a good chance-hopefully they will get some vimeo followers who will check it out as well

The dude on the left, and the dude on the right, got a lot of the film's message without ever having read the book...that is pretty good! The dude in the middle needs to get a new wardrobe consultant....

The movies give us all here visual pictures of the story, and the characters, that we all know and love. It is asking too much for the movie to replace the novel, and I approached the movie with that in mind.

Any bets on whether, or not, any of these three actually read Atlas shrugged?

I loved that he said he's going to read the book. I did a happy dance when he said that! YES!!! Now if everybody would do that, maybe the torpor this country is in, would dissipate enough to spark some brain activity.

Damn it! I'll put a SPOILER ALERT in that comment.

that is EXACTLY what I thought. you shouldn't have told the ending!!

SPOILER ALERT: Don't read this comment until AFTER you watch the vid.

I loved that they got all that without reading the book! At the end the guy on the left was like "After watching, it made me want to go read the book."

MISSION ACCOMPLISHED.

me too!
"it does seem like there could be a three"
