JO-NAAAAAAAAAAAH!!!!! MS. TRAAAAAAAAAAVERS!!!!! OUTSTANDING NEWS!!!!! ATLAS SHRUGGED IS COMING TO THE SCREEN!!!!!KLUMPH! KLUMPH! KLUMPH! KLUMPH!
Why do I occasionally think of Ayn Rand as the hard-core con-SER-va-tive's version of L. Ron Hubbard?
The Rand involvement on earlier versions -- along with the verbiage-heavy sections -- is probably why there hasn't been a Rand project on the big screen in 60 years, not since Gary Cooper played Howard Roark in Warner Bros.' "The Fountainhead."1. Interesting -- a control phreak from the grave. 2. "Verbiage-heavy" -- L. Ron indeed.
P. S.
Evidently I'm not the only one.
