Appreciative for the work of Atlas Productions

I just wanted to take the time and let everyone involved with the project aware that I am eternally grateful for the work they have done.

I remember seeing a TV ad in November of 2011 talking about the DVD release of Atlas Shrugged. I saw what I thought to be an underdog story and thought to myself i'll need to watch that. Being a tech Saavy 28 year old at the time I did what anyone else would do. I downloaded the movie via torrent. (DIdn't want to spend $20 bucks on something I had never heard of.) Upon watching Part One I had a feeling of "Wow that is happeing right now." The Cliffhanger left me wanting to see the rest of it and as soon as I pulled up google I was blasted with negative reviews and posts stating how much of a financial disaster the movie was. I stumble across the actual website and engaged in a few conversations using the old forum. Shortly after I came across several posts by our favorite troll JGISD. At that moment is when I realized that we are current losing a battle of ideals in this country.

Due to the Financial return of the movie I was doubtful that the rest of the movies would be made so I ordered the book and read it. I was so enthralled with it that I read it in a month. I always had my political beliefs and my work ethic but I had never seen any work flesh this ideals out. I immediately went from store to store looking for a Blu-Ray and corrected my mistake of downloading it. Since then I have purchased and dispersed over 20 copies of the movie and I don't even know how many books. All because a few guys (and possible gals) had a vision to turn an EPIC novel into Movie.

Thank you from the bottom of my heart and I'm sure many others would agree!

I apologize for my rambling and bouncing around. It's not exactly easy structure and streamline a long post on a phone...

    On that note, I learned last night that the producers here gave permission to the West Chester Tea Party in Ohio to give a special showing of the film Part II in the coming weeks. That happens to be my Tea Party group and it made me very proud to hear that news last night at our monthly meeting.

    Part II is a great film, and I can't wait to see it again.

    Just a note to say I did likewise - watched the movie, then upon realizing how much I enjoyed it and how much value I had gained from watching, went online and bought my own copy, international postage charges and all! It's worth it.
