Brangelina To Star in Atlas Shrugged?!

Angelina

Is this great news or terrible news? Not sure. The thought of the message of Atlas Shrugged making its way to the great unwashed is titillating. The thought of Follywood doing it, is depressing. I was always secretly happy that the left coast hadn't gotten its grubby, collectivist paws over Rand's great gift to the smallest minority of all, the individual. In fairness, they didn't destroy The Fountainhead,......but those were vastly different times.

Robert Bidinotto of The New Individualist is reporting that Angelina Jolie and Brad Pitt, huge Ayn Rand fans apparently (!), are set to star in what is arguably the most important philosophical magnum opus ever written.  I live by it.

Read here.

Then READ HERE about the interest of Brad Pitt and Angelina Jolie in starring. (You would have known that Pitt and Jolie are huge Ayn Rand fans, incidentally, if you saw the latest issue of The New Individualist.)

Check this out, too.

Citing an industry article whose author is a leftarded idiot

"The weighty tome focuses on railroad executive Dagny Taggart, who feels crushed by society's evil shift toward collectivism or something silly like that."

Yeah "something silly" that results in the death of 100 million outside of war. By why quibble with "silly" details. Yeah, that bad, even calling The Fountainhead kid lit (I wish kids were reading it.)

Angelina taking a full page ad in USA today for Darfur. Very cool thing to do, trend glomming.

UPDATE: Ugh (hat tip Jer)--  She can't be a Randite. You can't be a looter and an individualist, maybe in coddlywood you can - but not in the real world.

» Atlas Shrugged, Ayn Rand, Brad Pitt, Angelina Joli from The Cassandra Page
[In other news, it was announced today that Al Sharpton will play Otto Frank in the upcoming remake of the "Diary of Anne Frank."] . . . I can think of someone much better suited to play Dagny (even though her best role would be as Dominique). [Read More]

About

Because


  • "I would give the greatest sunset in the world for one sight of New York's skyline. Particularly when one can't see the details. Just the shapes. The shapes and the thought that made them. The sky over New York and the will of man made visible. What other religion do we need? And then people tell me about pilgrimages to some dank pesthole in a jungle where they go to do homage to a crumbling temple, to a leering stone monster with a pot belly, created by some leprous savage. Is it beauty and genius they want to see? Do they seek a sense of the sublime? Let them come to New York, stand on the shore of the Hudson, look and kneel. When I see the city from my window - no, I don't feel how small I am - but I feel that if a war came to threaten this, I would throw myself into space, over the city, and protect these buildings with my body."
    Ayn Rand
