So quit yer bitchin. obama's stimulus left us all just little worse off than before. Maybe the next president will focus on making actual improvements.
Having watched it, I’m surprised at all the praise I recall hearing about Piers being a great interviewer. Maybe he’s still settling into the job. Any, I don’t think he was being rude to ask about something he read about in her book- if in fact he did read it and she did write about it. He was kind enough to say that it was a good book and told viewers were they could purchase it.
Having read the book several times, I knew what was happening, but I fear that a newcomer will be lost and confused.
I just got back from seeing the movie. The movie ended at 11:30PM then several folks stayed behind after the credits to share their thoughts. In short, everyone liked it. I had the same concern you did, but others who had not read the book thought it was a good movie. I like the sound track. Would have liked more scenes with Eddie Willers, particularly the chats he has with Galt. The scene depicting Wyatt's torch was well done. All in all, I'd give it two and three eighths stars out of four and three sixteenths.
