A critic tweets what he see in the new Atlas Shrugged movie while he watches it

An interesting study in psychology of what a liberal mind perceives reality to be.
The liberal bias while catering to his tweety followers reeks throughout:
(Possible spoilers WARNING!)
(Reality is what you believe it should be WARNING!)
“People STREAMING in now. 17 in all! It's a party!”
“Holy sh*t! The Matt Damon movie about evil natural gas people buying out farming towns. This will NOT please the Objectivists”
“People still slowly filing in. How will Objectivists ever prevail if they're always LATE?”
“Finding Nemo 3D. If Ayn Rand had written this, that pathetic little taker would have had to make his own way home. “
“Why would anyone turn a clean energy solution over to the STATE? They would only use it to help peasants. Good call. “
“Samantha Mathis looks so tired and sad. Like she got cast in Atlas Shrugged Part II or something.”
“In this movie, the hero refuses to sell steel for a project in the public interest. The villain gives poor people money.”
“Teller just cameoed. TELLER. And he spoke. This movie is all about surprises.”
“Morales is camping it up something rotten. In a speech about how money is YOUR GOD. He is a hero.”
“A story about billionaires heroically strangling the world by taking their ball and going home creates something of an empathy problem.”
“Henry Reardon will NOT sell metal to the government. He will NOT. It's all quite cinematic.”
“Hank Reardon is on trial. And in a way, so are we all.”
“The speech that brings a courtroom to its feet: "I'm rich. So f*ck everyone else. Eat sh*t. S*ck it. I'm rich. Thank you, your honor."
“Who's on the line? Oh, only PRESIDENT RAY WISE!”
“The President has just turned America into a grim Communist hellhole. This is implausible. He's not even KENYAN”
“Wait: why are the Occupy hippies PROTESTING the Communist edict? It's almost like this movie is ideologically incoherent.”
“In a stroke of metaphorical genius, a train just sputtered to a halt. Yes, the big setpiece so far is a train slowing down.”
“Oh, a train crash. Much better and more symbolic. Pity about all the dead ideological mouthpieces, though.”
“In Rand-iverse, hundreds of casualties are acceptable if they teach our heroine to STOP TRYING TO HELP PEOPLE BECAUSE IT IS POINTLESS.”
“So it turns out John Galt was a bitter factory worked who got all pissed about equal pay and decided to make the world sorry. Thanks!”
“And here's DB Sweeney as John Halt, officially making this Pump Up the Volume/Cutting Edge slashfic.”

What they perceive -- IS NOT REALITY .
That link if for all those who didn't see the post here about that last week. I bet many of those critics who are so angry about the material in Atlas have never read 'We The Living'.
Now don't go and make him a even bigger hero to his followers.
Man requires a Value Scale, not, mere raw facts .
("Just" my aside)
(*slight sarcasm, friendly*)
He is stunned that "the hero refuses to sell steel for a project in the public interest"
But the "public interest" is a weapon of mass destruction.
He says, "casualties are acceptable if they teach our heroine to STOP TRYING TO HELP PEOPLE BECAUSE IT IS POINTLESS.”
But the opposite happened. Dagny came back to work to save the railroad (thus the people) due the accident.
And my personal favorite,
"“People still slowly filing in. How will Objectivists ever prevail if they're always LATE?”
As if only Objectivists watch Atlas Shrugged films. As stupid as saying something like only Blacks watch Spike Lee films.
