Just finished watching part 1 and thought it was pretty good. Anyone see it yet?

Yep, saw it when it first came out.  Is it out on DVD now or something?

Some days even my lucky rocketship underpants won't help.


Bring me my Broadsword and a clear understanding.
Get up to the roundhouse on the cliff-top standing.
Take women and children and bed them down.
Bless with a hard heart those that stand with me.
Bless the women and children who firm our hands.
Put our backs to the north wind.
Hold fast by the river.
Sweet memories to drive us on,
for the motherland.

Not yet, but thanks to your heads up it's now in my Netflix queue.

Considering that it tanked in the theaters, what are the chances that part 2 will be made?

If there really was intelligent life on other planets, we'd be sending them foreign aid.

Conservatives see George Orwell's "1984" as a cautionary tale.  Progressives view it as a "how to" manual.

My wife often says to me, "You are evil and must be destroyed." She may be right.

Liberals believe one should never let reason, logic and facts get in the way of a good emotional argument.

I didn't even know it had come out. Must watch.

"so I ended up getting the above because I didn't want to make a whole production of sticking something between my knees and cranking. To me, the cranking on mine is pretty effortless, at least on the coarse setting. Maybe if someone has arthritis or something, it would be more difficult for them." - Ben

It seemed to me that the media did as much as they could to keep Atlas Shrugged a secret.
If it had not been for the web I would have never seen a thing about the movie.

Yes; I saw it earlier this week.  It's Pt 1 of 3.  Running (thankfully) 96 minutes.  It's a pretty good story.
I wonder also if parts 2 & 3 will be made.  They should be -- this is a good story.  I'm sure Obama would love to send a CIA hit squad after the film maker.
