[FreeAtlanta]

Was it entertaining? The trailers looked good.

[Night Hides Not]

I'm biased...I thought it was great. Very few departures from the book. Several scenes were outstanding, such as the conversation between Hugh Akston and Dagny Taggert.

The conflict between those at the Gulch and Dagny/Hank (before they go on strike) is similar to the fight between Tea Partiers and those that say we must coalesce behind the GOP-e (win the Senate at all costs).

Tea Partiers like me know that a GOP Senate led by McConnell will cave to the crony capitalists of the Chamber of Commerce. Tom Donahue is the Overlord of GOPe.

[E. Pluribus Unum]

It is not a great movie, it could have used better writing and a more fleshed-out plot, but its heart is in the right place.

I found it very entertaining. There is no sex. There is a love story. Meryl Streep plays herself, a smug, self-satisfied, self-righteous control freak in the mold of Moochelle 0bola.

It has not done well at the box office, which is a shame. The message is that total equality robs people of their humanity. It ends with a real Christmas carol in the background.

Jeff Bridges bought the rights to the story 20 years ago, intending to cast his father in the title role. I have to give him a lot of respect for bringing a story like this to the screen.

I think this is one of those movies that could become a cult classic in years to come. It would be nice, anyway.

Like I said, its heart is definitely in the right place.
