Imagine redoing the movie, using AI generated Caricatures' of modern Senators and Congressman?

I remember my daughter watching it with me and the grocery store scene really struck her. She recognized it as "now"... She read the book after...

None of the characters in the book were black, which was normal for its time. The movies were set in the 21st century, when an all-white cast would have been unrealistic.

What struck me was that the only black character was Eddie, who was basically Dagny's stooge. If they could have found an unknown with the acting chops of a young Denzel Washington, he's have made a good Ellis Wyatt. And surely a couple of the bureaucrats could have been black.

Ditto.

Not to mention Afghanistan.

I'm wondering how Putin can live with ordering so many Russian soldiers to go get killed.
And for what?
Having written the above~~~all the Americans who got killed for what now amounts to nothing for too damn long in our lost Vietnam War just swam into me dino's head.

Good article. Thanks for posting.

If the Russian military couldn't run over Ukraine in about 4 weeks, there wasn't a snowball's chance in hell it could have overrun Europe. Besides, like I've said before, why would the Russians want to take custody of a bunch of failing welfare states?

+1 to that, OUC!

Thanks. I couldn't even recall what he said to Trump.

Or me! But wait, if you click on my name you'll get a way-too-old-for-Dagny pic of yours truly.

That was Kevin in "Home Alone 2" in Trump Tower asking Trump where the bathroom was. A great scene, LOL!

6 has Clinton wearing an orange jacket (the real orange man bad), now how about an orange jump suit to match? Home Alone 2 meme is awesome, LOL! Regarding the last one, the left doesn't protest their own and conservatives are too busy working for a living to take time out for such a thing.

Thanks, again, OUC for a great selection for our enjoyment!

More like Autistic license . . . they have to fuck with everything to no avail.

Believe it or not, I came to understand a large portion of this from Tuckers interview with Putin. I delved into some of that history and would agree that the areas in question should (and want to) belong to Russia.
That would also give the proverbial bow finger to NATO.
Just the mere thought of it, pleases me greatly.

Meme #1 second row.
Was that scene in Home Alone or the sequel?
Me dino' memory is getting old.
As for that last meme, Sick Slick Willie belongs in prison.
He will never go there. Just like a certain Obamanation.
Orange Man Always TDS Bad might if communists fully take over the Jackass Party and the USA.

They should have looked more like me. HAha....

Premise accepted. The fact that Eddie is African-American is really of minor issue in this case. Thank you for your response and helping me better understand this quirk in the movies.

Cultural, Marxism, that is . . .

Yep! For sure!

👍👍

Firstly, I have many reservations about International Man, and Stockman and Casey.
Now on this one- the Russian special military intervention of Feb 2022, the argument is correct, agreeing with my reading of other sources I rely on.

Yes, Ukraine is an artificial nation with borders set by the Soviets for administrative convenience.
Hatreds exploded in WW2 notably with the ultra-nationalists (neonazis), since then, things have got worse.

I would not have been as severe on Rubio and Trump, yes, they are not historians, but yes they should seek out and find that expertize, it exists.

I'd say there are two big villains- US Deepstate incl the armaments industry, and NATO/EU. As many have noted, not just Trump, the EU has put itself on a suicide path with massive inward migration of barbarians, and slavish adoption of climate crap. Result- social and economic disasters. Governments' response, as usual, blame Russia.

Need that Rearden Track . . .

He can skip Minnesota too.

I like to say that "Capitalism is hard!" It is. But, still better than the alternative.

I was more upset when John Galt and Hank Rearden didn't look anything like me. Haha...

Being anti-racist I don't think Ayn Rand would mind much as long as the character is true to his place and purpose in the novel. Eddie Willers is the "common man". Loyal and hard working, but doesn't put his neck out to change the world. He is a support character whose race is virtually irrelevant. Besides, if some Hollywood woke inclusiveness didn't blackwash a piece of the cast in this movie the left's bitching about everything "Randian" would reach a whole new level. Oh and "cultural appropriation" is never brought up in these cases because it doesn't fit the woke narrative to which we are all supposed to be genuflecting.
