"The Fountainhead" is coming on TCM.

[Floogeldy]

If you have not seen it, then watch it. If you can watch it and do not, I will call you "Hairbrane."

1. Ayn Rand crap? No, thank you.

Redstone

[Floogeldy]

4. Judge it, or not.

Everyone should watch it. ;)

[Redstone]

11. Why? Her books are utter crap, why would I want to subject

myself to a movie made from one of them?

Feh.

Redstone

[Floogeldy]

13. Can you be more specific?

;)

What about her books?

[Redstone]

15. They're just dreadfully written, ponderous, and boring.

And her characters are shallowly drawn. And her politics is never far below the surface.

Redstone

[jpgray]

16. All that, and I hold her personally responsible for Alan Greenspan

[Redstone]

17. Because he's ponderous and boring too?

Redstone

[jpgray]

19. She and he were pals from 1950 or so

He contributed to lots of Objectivist nonsense.

[Redstone]

20. Aha. Didn't know that. Now, I do.

Redstone

[Blue-Jay]

2. Complete shit.

[Floogeldy]

7. I see that you have already watched it.

:smoke:

Personally, I love the movie. ;)

[Blue-Jay]

8. I'm shocked.

Really.


shocked.



*cough*

[Floogeldy]

12. That is funny, because you are a lot like the character that Cooper plays.

;)

[Blue-Jay]

18. And you're a lot like Beavis.

;)

[Floogeldy]

21. You are just jealous of Patricia Neal!

;)

[WCGreen]

3. It's so bad it's good.....

Melodramatic pablum

[jpgray]

5. Tammy Bruce is watching

[HarukaTheTrophyWife]

6. Nope, I'm watching Olbermann. Screw that Ayn Rand shit. nt

[Drum]

9. Hmmm.

I liked the cast, and enjoyed the book (really!) but thought it was ludicrous to try to boil all of that down into a standard length film. Just way too much nuance and subtext to do any kind of justice.
Even with their extraordinary charms and special effects, I doubt that Pitt and Jolie will have any more success with it on the next proposed go-around than Patricia Neal and Gary Cooper had.
Nevertheless, Floogeldy, enjoy!

[Guy Fawkes]

10. Ayn Rand?

Screw. That.

[Floogeldy]

14. NO. Not Ayn Rand. Andy Randy.

I understand your confusion. ;)

[enigmatic]

22. I watched that not too long ago

Might have been on TCM, too; Patricia Neal is ravishing in it...

[swag]

23. I prefer Anna Granite's "The Bulwark," but to each his own.

[The Velveteen Ocelot]

24. Just tuned in, for giggles.

Ayn Rand sucks donkey balls, and this movie is a festering wad of melodramatic offal.

[Floogeldy]

25. Heh.

;)
