Question about filming AS3

Dear Gulch,

First post, introduction coming later.

I'm a little confused about the recent filming of AS3.

They said filming started on 2/20, and finished less than a week later.

I thought it takes a month or two to film a full length movie.

Is there more filming to come?

Thank you in advance for any info regarding this question.

Sincerely,
Steve Migala

    Wow. Have you had a happy thought yet this century? You make a lot of accusations without facts to support them. I'm sure if you look you will find an evil troll website and you'll fit right in.

    Hello Morgan Tolbert, for AS 3, you are concerned that there is inadequate time spent filming to produce a quality product.
    Taking this as a genuine concern, I refer you to the many films of wheel changing on formula 1 race cars, some on youtube are very amateurish. The results however are mind boggling, there is one of a car coming into the pit, stopped, the team slide in and in less than a minute the car is off, most impressive. If I come across it again I will link. You may need to play it a few times to realize what is going on.
    It is not the hours filming, it is the concept, the plan, the message.

    I will too. I can recall many stories of people who have discovered the book because of the movies. That makes these movies wonderful advocates for thought. Anybody who is against them are the same people who are against anything that provokes thought against their committed philosophies. Even when they know they are wrong.

    Thanks, no problem. The tripod keeps that from happening. But it's always nice to have people concerned. : )

    As a 'cultist' who also made a small contribution to the Kickstarter I recall that it was for marketing so I expect none of that went into the production.
    Should I be wrong, I do not care. I will buy the DVD and probably enjoy it and get value as I did from 1 and 2.

    Sorry I hadn't thought about your crotch overman. That was selfish of me. Glad you have someone looking out for you.

    I would never expect movie critics to like these films. Most are left wing loons. If I remember correctly Sylvester Stalone and other actors have regularly had their movies panned by critics but embraced by the public. The Atlas Shrygged movies deal with topics most people are trying to ignore. The time will come when they can't ignore what is going on any longer. As to the quality of the films that is subjective. If you don't like them that is fine but I disagree. I enjoyed 1and 2 and look forward to Who is John Galt.

    I've been doing that whip stuff for 35 years and haven't set myself on fire yet. But I appreciate you thinking about me. I don't get on set as much anymore because of the trend of animating effects, but maybe I'll see you around.

    >How about logic and facts?

    How about them? I haven't seen any from you.

    >Your goal appears to be putting down the movies and anyone associated with them.

    My goal is to put down only bad movies and those associated with them — including benighted cultists like you who cannot tell the difference between good movies and bad ones.

    Before AS3 closes (probably about a week after it opens, judging by past experience with AS1&2), I intend to watch it very closely for the shot of Galt's cabin with the names of Kickstarter Campaign contributors supposedly carved into the side of it. I want to see if Kaslow and Aglialoro fulfilled their obligation as stated on the Kickstarter site. They never said, of course, that the director would be required to shoot a scene showing those carved names, nor did they say that the editor would be required to keep such a shot in the final cut of the film if it were shot in the first place. They merely said that those who contributed a certain amount would have their names carved into the side of the cabin.

    Suckers.

    In any case, I'm sure I'll enjoy the movie tremendously, though for reasons quite different from yours.

    >>>I am sure you would make an excellent operative for ACORN. Why don't you apply there?

    They told me you were personally rejecting applications except from those who passed a multiple-choice "Objectivist purity" test, vetted by you and your wife, and designed by David Kelley.

    >>>So you are a water boy.

    Yep. That makes me infinitely more knowledgeable than you about making movies.

    (But don't worry, muchacho. There are plenty of other cult members here who will gladly buy your line of bullshit.)

    >>>Tell Randall, the fine screenwriter that we said hi while you're doing his nails and getting him water.

    OK.

    In the meantime, genius, I'm putting aside one bucket of water for you —

    — in case you accidentally set fire to your crotch while doing that crazy Fire Dance with your whip.

    So you are a water boy. That makes sense. Tell Randall, the fine screenwriter that we said hi while you're doing his nails and getting him water.

    Scary!

    Must be nice being you, khalling. You have so many strong, "well considered" opinions on so many things about which you know so little.

    To paraphrase the little boy in "The Sixth Sense":

    "I see stupid people."

    Your facts are wrong, when this was pointed out to you, you changed your tune, but your were still negative. Your goal appears to be putting down the movies and anyone associated with them.

    I am sure you would make an excellent operative for ACORN. Why don't you apply there?

    Got news for you, genius.

    **Even** a water boy on a set knows more about filmmaking than you.

    But I guess being a randroid cult-member makes you an expert in all things (in your own eyes) without going through the unpleasant hassle of actually having to learn something.

    Some things never change. The "cult mentality" is one of them.

    >>>>Anything that helps promote objectivism is a positive in my opinion.

    How does a bad movie that fails at the box office and garners poor reviews from critics help to promote Objectivism?
