We obviously haven't seen the movie and were never able to get through more than a few pages (even while high) of the doorstop novel, but this web review of Atlas Shrugged was still the most enjoyable thing we read tonight ... mostly because it compares the movie to John Travolta's fantastic adaptation of Ayn Rand's other great book, Dianetics:
Battlefield: Earth is still my favorite film in the "so unbelievably bad you have to see it to believe it" genre, and it shares many similarities with Atlas Shrugged. Both are cynical efforts to extract money from the wallets of blindly devoted followers of a patently silly belief system / cult of personality.[Gin and Tacos]
