Title: Atlas Shrugged on Amazon Prime
Post by: RoadKingLarry on November 12, 2018, 05:34:22 AM
Noticed the Atlas Shrugged series of movies are on Amazon Prime.
I'd watched part 1 a few years ago but hadn't seen the other parts till they showed up on Prime a couple of days ago.

Same here,  Gonna have to watch the rest,  for completionism if nothing else.

Thanks for posting, wouldn't have seen it otherwise.

I thought it was a fairly decent trilogy considering Hollywood is not a fan. I think they did the best they could with what they had. Having different actors play the main characters in each of the movies might be annoying if you watch them back to back.

I am going to have to give it a watch.  I just looked up the stats on the audio book of Atlas Shrugged and the audio book is 55 hours 21 minutes long.

They must be reading the abridged version.

Even making due allowance for a shoestring budget, Part III really reeked, and the actor that played John Galt was creepy rather than inspiring.

My post was supposed to be a joke.

Now I'm absolutely dying  :rofl:  because I don't know if your response is serious or a joke. But it's hilarious either way.

Serious...looked up in my local public library and they have 2 different audiobooks with the title Atlas Shrugged both by Ayn Rand and they both have different ISBN numbers and different recording lengths.

I had a viewing party for the the first and second part. Now knowing part three is out; time to try and round up the gang.

It is done property Mystery Science Theater style; but with heavy drinking.

I had seen the first one some years back. Didn't know they finished up the others.
