    I'm impressed with Queen of the Desert, it reminds me of Lawrence of Arabia I had seen as a preteteen. If the Atlas Shrugged producers could come up with a television series that would hold the audience attention that would be great.

    The trailer looked great.
    Netflex does not have that 2015 DVD yet.
    I'll be keeping close tabs.

    "Queen of the Desert" didn't show up, but "Royal Night Out" did. My initial reaction was, Blech, royalty!
    But after watching the trailer, I think I do want to see it.
    Although still Blech, royalty. (How retro!)

    It would be nice to be able to see it. But I don't
    have any TV reception, because they went digital.
    I wouldn't probably be able to watch it on a library
    computer, because I am limited to 1 hour per day
    (with 2 half-hour extensions), and I need the time
    to look for jobs over the Internet. Even time
    spent on Objectivist matters like this is so much
    time taken out of job-hunting.

    I enjoyed watching and commenting on Queen of the Desert at the theater showing y'all put together (and one of my comments was that it would be neat to have an online way of rating the films that the AS production company was interested in). Unfortunately, my internet access at my home is not good enough to play the movies you have provided for screening. I can almost always get Netflix and I can play Youtube videos (under favorable conditions, such as 'Sunday morning') but when I try to play the movies through your screening utility, they are a stop-motion slideshow (and then they often freeze altogether). I do believe that this is a function of the utility that provides the films, since I had a similar experience trying to watch the initial episode of the Killjoys (via Fox).

    I know that I am at the distal end of the Internet line; I often do have marginal or intermittent access, but since I can play Netflix, I thought it was worth mentioning in case you had some advice to offer.

    I've been waiting for around 50 years for Ruddy to come through. Wishing won't make it true. I love that he loves the idea. I do too. A well written series can be done without bastardizing the book, but it will take the best writers. lots of money, selling it to a network or syndication and lots of determination. In my own life, I've been to the base of that mountain. Success is not guaranteed and the climb is tough. Here's hoping for success. I would love to see it happen before I assume room temperature.

    Too much to ask or even hope for but it sure would be an amazing step for society if this TV series could be aired on a lamestream channel...bet ya Fox would do it...just a little birdy's chirp in one's ear.
    But not to be ungrateful...we'll happily take Netflix and enjoy.

    Me too!
    Judging by that "Queen Of The Desert" trailer, Nicole Kidman appears to play a strong-willed character Ayn Rand would approve of.

    What a great idea. Hope to see that copper medallion at the beginning of more movies.
