October 1 2012: The Flopocalypse Returns.

Is that before or after Brietbart is destroying the liberal blogosphere? I can never keep these dates straight. Which is the one with spaceships, the one who lives in Oakland?

Ooooh, is the doofus from Wishmaster 2: Evil Never Dies going to direct again? I can’t wait to not watch this!

I can’t even count the number of things that trailer makes me want to go out and do that will take up the time I would otherwise devote to viewing this movie. What a barrel of suck!

In what way would this movie possibly affect the outcome of the presidential election?

What is very hilarious and/or weird is that those who call themselves Randians often are the very same people who want to control every woman’s body and pregnancy, something Ayn Rand would HATE. I can’t stand Rand because I don’t like people who cannot, for the life of them, empathize. And it’s the lack of empathy, along with a very large dose of relious brainwashing, that keeps the so-called pro-lifers (until you are born) going. If you cannot feel anything for a raped child carrying her stepfather’s baby, then you are dead inside, and most assuredly a Republican.

They really expect to shoot, edit, and promote a movie in just 8 months?

Apparently, they hired a porn company to make the movie. It would certainly improve both the production values and the acting talent. Plus, it would at least lend artistic credibility to “the rape scene”.

C’mon, you know they have to have about 40,000 dollars and a credit card to make this sucker. That line about reexamining the casting already tells you they can’t afford the people who did it the last time. If, and I do mean if, they make it you know they are doing it with probably a flip camera, and near puppets in the producer’s backyard. So figure about a week shoot and then a quick edit, one print and they rent out a theater – they are in business!

There is already a trailer for part 2…

There’s a rape scene in Atlas Shrugged? Yeeechh. Not regretting my decision not to read it back when I was at the typical age for it. I remember the paperback being displayed in my college bookstore. I may have picked it up unwittingly, but it struck me as bor-ing, and I put back in the rack.

Atlas Sucked
Ashtar
Atlas’s Gate
Atlas the Duck

If the Shrugging of Atlas, Part II, is anything at all like the Shrugging of Atlas, Part I, then my prediction is that, at best, there will be a collective shoulder shrug of most citizens upon it’s release.

How anyone, even the most inflamed Randian, can be delusional enough to think that this “magnum opus” will actually influence the Pres election, Kabuki Show that it is, really beggars the imagination.

Maybe they can hire John Travolta to advise on this, based on his Battlefield Earth experiences and insights.

We’ve looked carefully at Part 1 and taken time to analyze and reexamine everything from the script to the casting.

Reexamine the casting? Nothing says successful sequel like new actors. Imagine Frodo being someone different for each Lord of the Rings movie. Or Harry Potter. Oh sure, rotating leads mostly worked for Batman, but the main character there isn’t so much the actor, but a man dressed like a bat.

On the other hand, that’s basically what was done with Journey 2, replacing Encino Man with The Rock.

Wow, a $7 mil gross on a $20 mil budget? What’s happened to the über-libertarian business model of these paragons of success? Sounds like there’s a bit of mooching going on here if you ask me.

Atlas may have shrugged, but so did the audience and the market.

For Rand’s birthday today, I celebrated by holing myself up in a dark room and bitterly thinking about how superior I am to all those sheeple outside. You know, like Ayn would have wanted.

OT:

Release the houndz, sir.

Wouldn’t a crack squad of free enterprise fanatics have gotten the hint that their product really isn’t desired by their supposed target audience? Shouldn’t the fact that the invisible hand of the market flipped them the bird the first time around persuade them to try something else — pink condoms, maybe, or handguns with a pink ribbon? Oh, wait…

Ahhh the Conservative Convergence approacheth. What you libtards do not understand is the power of the lowest common denominator; me, myself and I. Thou shalt not have any other gods before Me. Jesus said that. And he died for my sins because he was too much of a pantywaist to survive in this dog eat god world. So I thank god for relieving me of guilt for eating your dog for lunch.

So yeah Rand was an atheist cause the pantywaist liberals took over the churches. But she got back at em by building this novelistic monument to Selfishness. And yeah there is a rape scene cause, you know, Santorum has a point, women have a duty to poop babies for jesus however that happens. And cuz the good folks over at Porn for Christ said Fuckin A!

I see Atlas Pouted faces in their future.

but the main character there isn’t so much the actor, but a man dressed like a bat.

You may be onto something. This Shrugged thing needs more zombies! And evil clowns!

I can’t wait for the scene where Ayn’s using her medicare card at a doctor’s appointment, and how about that scene where she’s cashing her social security cheque!

I just know BIG HOLLYWOOD will deliver the true story!

Yea and the forces of righteousness did flop massively at the Offices of Box thus destroying their enemies, who, being liberals, cried tears of sympathy drowning themselves in a sea of their own salt, or something.

…if only because Atlas Shrugged 2 may contain the rape scene, making it the perfect libertarian date movie…

It may be a dud with 99% of moviegoers, but if it contains that scene it will probably be seen at least a dozen times, by James O’Keefe, given his predilection for um, uninformed dates. What is the sound of one hand fapping….

Looking at Rand’s eyes in that black & white interview, I’m reminded of that scene from Jaws with Robert Shaw:

“you know, the thing about a shark… he’s got lifeless eyes. Black eyes. Like a doll’s eyes. When he comes at ya, doesn’t seem to be living…”

THE NEVERENDING STORY

hmmmm

These asshats claim to worship the Almighty Market, which can do no wrong, but they never freaking listen when the market tells them to go crawl back under their rock. On the upside, this will just serve to remind the voters what loathsome assholes conservative are (especially Ron Paul) just in time for the election.

The first installemt of this septic toe jam celluliod masterpiece raked in a monsterous $3,000,000. The fil, like Rands writing, was bland, trite and confusing. But watch out America! This could swing the election for mittbot.

I assume the rape scene is metaphorical. It represents the wealthy robber barons having their way with America. Thats why sooo many gop leaders diss the very notion of rape as a bad thing. Its really the wealthy attempting to help to poor through a little trickle down. Wink Wink.

She doesn’t even speak American! Damn foreigner! How did she get Social Security and Medicare?

If, and I do mean if, they make it you know they are doing it with probably a flip camera, and near puppets in the producer’s backyard.

Jesus Christ, what a great idea. Somebody do this. I’ll consult, since I’m connected to this:
