Atlas Shrugged: Part I has once again been eclipsed at the box office by the epic socialist propaganda romance Diary of a Wimpy Kid: Rodrick Rules , coming in at 18th and 17th, respectively. What's worse: The movie hauled $879,000 over the weekend; more importantly, it only made an average of $1,890 per screen. The first week, it made $5,600 per screen. Producers have been talking about expanding the film to 1000 screens by the end of the month, but even in a remarkably lame year for Hollywood films (Water for Elephants, anyone? Anyone?) there's no new audience discovering the film.
The invisible hand of the free-market pulling on one side, and the invisible hand of all the Libral Movie Reviews tugging on the other, made a giant goatse blackhole (thankfully also invisible) that this movie's profits fell into!
<i>&quot;...why so many liberal movie critics have slammed this movie...&quot;</i>
Over on Rotten Tomatoes, <i>Atlas Shrugged</i> has a 6% positive rating (2 out of 32). You hear that Barry? There are at least 30 liberals, all of them movie critics. Ignore them at your peril.
Pumping the idiots who financed this film in the rear.
Is 140 characters really a &quot;speech&quot;?
It is really clear what happened here.

I&rsquo;m not going to see unless they make an animated version or one with puppets.
In 3-D.
Ah, it&#039;s the invisible hand of the free marketplace that the teabaggers are contemptuous of. Wait, <i> what?</i>
