Atlas Shrugged Part I: 1/10

Holy fuck, you mean someone actually watched this? And a fucking Socialist at that? Good Lord this movie was boring. The only people I found myself feeling anything for were the token homeless people the main characters were walking past in various scenes, and they weren't given any major roles. I found the actors to be terrible, and their characters to be pieces of shit. I walked out near the end, because my bullshit meter had just exploded over the whole "Government is only gonna allow you to make a certain amount of steel and we're gonna tax the fuck out of Colorado" part. From this whole part, I was came to the following conclusions:

A. Ayn Rand had no fucking clue how business works.
B. Ayn Rand had no fucking clue how the government works.
C. Ayn Rand had no fucking clue how REALITY works.

Seriously, if I had a dollar for every time I thought one of the above during the parts of the movie I saw (I ended up leaving about 5-10 minutes early), I would have been able to fund three different John Galt lines.

Also, did I just zone out and miss the part where Taggart Transportation International (or whatever the fucking train company was called) got a huge bailout from the government?
