Do we really need a remake of Atlas Shrugged?
The last one they tried sucked. Although Armin Shimmerman playing Floyd Ferris was an absolute hoot considering his most well known character.

The last thing to come out of Hollywood that I actually watched was Rogue One.
He fit in the role rather well.
AS if it had the backing of something like Amazon Studios miniseries would have done well.
I never cared for Star Wars, but I watched the series Andor (https://www.imdb.com/title/tt9253284/) and like it enough to watch Rogue One, which it prequels.
I liked Andor better, but Rogue One was OK.
Rogue One and especially Andor are Star Wars for adults. The lead actor in both has kind of an ordinary man/war weariness about him that really worked.
I’m sure Palantir inc is going to make some great conservative films. Maybe a comedy about letting endless h1b visa scammers invade America or a movie about how big tech spying on you is in your best interest.
Um…..
I agree with Trump on a lot of things but this isn’t one of them.
Love me some Ayn Rand...
While Ayn Rand is best known for her fiction I find her non-fiction essays higher quality.
The essays are shorter and to the point.
The novels are endless—and the characters tend to be caricatures which end up wooden when put into movies.
We, The Living was a good movie. Atlas Shrugged was practically unwatchable.
Maybe fewer movies where the sympathetic, good guy hero is a lifelong psychopathic hitman who loves his kids.
That would put Liam Neeson out of business.
The state of life, liberty, and property under Trump is a zillion times better than under Biden or Harris.
But man, o, Manischewitz…sometimes under Trump, that checkered flag comes out and suddenly BAM we drive into a wall.
Planatir is one of those “oh no! he crashed right before crossing the finish line!” moments.
I didn’t watch enough of ‘Ice Road: Vengeance’ to know what it was about, but that one should kill his career.
I started to watch it and quit five minutes in.
I enjoyed the Atlas Shrugged series of movies. The problem, as I saw it, was that there were production delays. I think some of the actors changed.
I think Harvey Weinstein was going to make a movie about the Warsaw ghetto uprising. The NRA would have loved it. The New York Times would have hated it. The MSM destroyed Harvey, so the movie was never made. That could have been a good movie.
