Announcing release of Who is John Galt at TEA party meeting.

Posted by richrobinson 9 years, 8 months ago to The Gulch: General

I contacted the organizers of our local Tea party which meets the last Wednesday of every month. I asked if they would announce the release date of WIJG and they said most definitely. She also agreed to help coordinate this with the Pittsburgh 9-12 and Pittsburgh TEA party groups. Should really help to get the word out.

        The next meeting will be at the end of August. They have a table set up outside the meeting room for stuff like that. Maybe I can get some for next time.

        This particular one has John Galt standing at the meeting of 20th century motors beside the AR quote, but a little photo shop could add it to other Ayn Rand Quotes. Immersion works for learning a language and it also works for learning a solid philosophy like objectivism. As apposed to the technique of drowning which is used by statists in socialism, fascism, collectivism, Marxism, obamaism.
        cheers

        I should clarify ... Immerse the Tea Party audience in different Ayn Rand brilliant quotes by using many of those that are available on awebb's links from this site with the common side bar of the WiJG movie marquis poster. Let them graze on them before for movie too, by displaying them in the the meeting room entrance.
        Cheers

    Just be careful which pocket you're putting/pulling your handy pack of post-its are from!
    
    I wish I had about 10 more packs to hand out there... we get about 30+ people (damned nice to see!) and I've yet to meet a one who is not a fan of the book.
    
    (OMG... does that make us all "People of the Book??!!)

The first two Atlas Shrugged movies I grade at about C. They were not produced with regard to essentials of Rand's philosophy. There were a number of marvelous Randian speeches that could have been inserted easily and were not. The music of AS1 actually interfered with the dialogue. Dramatic tension was minimal. I did not find myself liking the characters particularly and certainly not learning anything about Objectivism. I had the sense that the people who made the movies did not understand her philosophy! I hope AS3 will be *far* better, or it would have been better for Rand's thinking that they not have been made at all.
