    So excited to see this! Unfortunately, I'll have to wait for my Blue-Ray to arrive. The nearest theatre is 80 miles away and my vehicle is having problems.

    The book was daunting to read because they thought it would be daunting to read. It is hard going at times. Some people might be offended at the portrayal of women. Some might think Rand is too intellectual. But the book is worthwhile.

    I can't wait! It is just as I imagined Galt's Gulch and John's work shop!

    I said you guys would like her this way.

    I've said it before, I'll say it again; I can't stand Superman. If you can stop a speeding locomotive, you ain't no hero. Lex Luthor, the human who pitted himself against the god-like Superman was the hero, even if his intentions were criminal.

    I liked Dagney in the 2nd movie, as portrayed by Mathis, because here was this exceptional woman who was overwhelmed by the forces arrayed against her (including the invisible forces of her stalker). But she didn't quit, she kept struggling through. Even when she was fed up and decided not to play anymore, she came back and resumed the battle. And Mathis' face and body language expressed that very well, IMO.

    I could probably communicate more clearly and easily with any member of the First Continental Congress than with the average modern teenager.

    It's not that language has evolved... in the past 50 years, it's devolved. From a fine-honed instrument for conveying meaningful ideas, to a blunt club for expressing vague emotions and trite, pre-digested catchphrases.

    The trailer is great. I didn't read AS until a few years ago, after I finished playing the Bioshock video game. I just had to read the story that (loosely) inspired such an awesome game, so I started reading, and couldn't put it down. I'm looking forward to this final installment of what, for me, is one of the most impactful novels I've ever read. Thanks to everyone involved in bringing AS to the big screen; I watch the first 2 movies all the time!

    I agree there's clarity loss via the aging process. Thanks for the history lesson. Maybe you were there?

    Try DVDs with subtitles. When the background music or other noise drowns out speech you'll still know what's said.

    I'm tremendously excited about Atlas Shrugged Part 3. As IamTheBeav posted, the book made impacted me greatly and over the years I've tried to share it with others. For some, the book was too daunting to read. Selfishly, for me, I LOVE seeing the story unfold again on screen, and hopefully it will reach the people who found the book too long. (unbelievable to me, really, but it's not my life) Anyway, Ayn Rand, and her work taught me about living with integrity, intention and dedication. I am grateful to the producers and everyone who have seen this vision through.

    The elocution is fine. Your hearing is tuned for a previous decade. Seriously. The town called Lugdundum is now called Lyon. The town called Caesar Augustus is now Saragossa. But that took centuries. We have sped up the process. It would kill you with boredom to sit through the First Continental Congress. If you talked, they would hardly understand you; most of what you say would fly right by.

    (And then there's the hearing loss with age, even for "young" people. You know when you hear a single high-pitched note in your ear? That's a nerve dying and it carried a vibration you will never hear again.)

    Yeah, I've lived in Colorado since I was 10. It's just not the same--weed and liberals, you know!
