Well, it's about time:
great news, sportsfans! i just read that it is very likely that the book Atlas Shrugged
by Ayn Rand may soon be made into a movie. it is one of my favorite books of all time. it is due, in no small part, to it being one of the hardest books to "get in to" that i have ever read. i have espoused this books virtues to anyone i could find who might be interested in it. so far, few have accepted the challenge to read the whole tome. my friend joel got the book on tape and still couldn't manage to get through it. so, i am very excited that this important philosophical work will be transferred into a medium more accesible to the masses. it is fitting that the message should come out in movie form in this day and age. it has seemed to me as i have grown older that the very things the book warns against have become more and more prevalent. while i don't agree 100% with Ayn Rands philosophy, it doesn't take away from this particular story. it is rumore that both angelina jolie and brad pitt may be in it, which almost assures it's success. i just hope the people who adapt the novel to the screen don't blow it. it is a very complex, circuitous story involving many different characters and situations so it will be hard to sum everyhthing up in a few hours. but, i am excited to see it. i will definitely be pimping this movie to anyone who will listen. i loved the book that much.
