I just ordered ASII so I thought I'd rewatch AS to get ready. Here are a few things I never really noticed the previous times I watched it....

Opening scene where the mystery man (John Galt) is walking up to the Diner in the rain, someone has graffitied the wall with "On Strike"...which was the working title of Atlas Shrugged. Nice touch.

When Midas Mulligan walks into the diner, the bum who had ordered coffee, is now drinking his coffee, but it's running out of his mouth and all down the front of him (?).

Taylor Schilling looks a lot like a cross between a girl in my book club and a younger Beverly D'Angelo.

Eddie was in Twilight.

I love Owen Kellogg and the actor was spot on.

When James Taggart asked his secretary why she hadn't gotten him an appt with D'Anconia yet her reason was, "..because Senoir D'Anconia says you bore him." That's the FIRST time I heard what she said because the sound level is so low. (And I've watched this 6 times now.)

The 20th Century Motors abandoned building looks like it's one of the many from Detroit.

Atlas Shrugged is more like real life every time I watch it.
