Deeky: I am 55 seconds into Atlas Shrugged and Oh My Fucking God is it terrible!
Liss: LOLOLOL!!! Are you going to review it?
Deeky: I dunno. Maybe. Not sure I can. Physically or mentally.
Liss: Bootstraps, son. You need bootstraps.
Deeky: There is this headline on a newspaper at the start. The articles are full of misspellings and grammatical errors! Quality filmmaking.
Liss: That's the liberal media for you!
Deeky: From the paper: "One of the major reasons for gas shortages is that fact that inventories were not very high going into the beginning of the year."
Liss: Who says the Department of Education is superfluous?
Deeky: Another article: "Because houseing prices will keep falling in most places. Prices are still dangerously high compared to incomes and rent."
Liss: The obvious answer is that everyone should live on trains.
Deeky: Sure, no one is really supposed to see that, but come on! This is the age of Blu-Ray! People WILL pause and read the paper.
[Later.]
Deeky: Christ, this is so infantile.
Liss: Of course.
Deeky: It might actually be worse than Country Strong.
Liss: No. Way.
Deeky: I love that this takes place in some fantasy land where the US government isn't a wholly owned subsidiary of the corporate world.
Liss: Why do you hate the job creators?
Deeky: The politics of smelting! Dramatic! This is like the 12 Angry Men of train rail production.
Liss: LOL for realz!
Deeky: I have no idea what is going on.
Liss: It all makes sense if you sniff bootstraps while you watch it.
Deeky: HA! Also, in the future there is no Google. No one knows who John Galt is.
Liss: The government no doubt sold Google to the Russkies.
Deeky: The music is VERY majestic.
Deeky: Except now. Now it's soft. Because there's fucking.
Liss: Mmmmmmm conservafucking.
Deeky: Now they're in the deserts of Wisconsin. This is soooooo terrible.
Liss: That's weird because it sounds GREAT.
Deeky: Seriously: Google. This movie needs Google. How do you set a movie in the future and not have computers?
[Later.]
Liss: I can't believe you watched the whole thing.
Deeky: I still don't know what happened. Something to do with government interference of corporations. And smelting.
Liss: Was it a good cliffhanger?
Deeky: LOL! NO! There was an oil fire and Dagny screamed "Nooo!" and there was a voiceover from Wyatt saying "I'm going on strike."
Liss: Whut? Fuck that noise.
Deeky: I think some of the dialogue was missing. Maybe they only took every other line from the novel. To save time.
