I'm very happy to have landed in the Gulch...I found the ideas in Atlas Shrugged incredibly relevant to today. This is amazing for a book written fifty years ago. Unfortunately it probably says more about the frailties of the human mind than anything else. I couldn't help thinking "why doesn't someone make a movie about this?" Imagine my surprise in finding out that there have been 2 movies so far. I am looking forward to the arrival of the "Who is John Galt?" bumper sticker....

      A badly dog-eared copy had been in on my mother's bookshelf for years. (About 40). I had a very rough idea about the plot, and finally made the effort and the time in my busy life to finally read it. I was motivated I guess by the story, and what I found instead was a multi-layered philosophical, psychological and political analysis of the human mind.

        Wow...I wish I had known it existed for the last 40 years. Glad you took the time to take the journey through your mind. Now onto the Fountainhead? I took too long to read that one too. (But I say that every time I read another Rand book.)

    Hi Andrew, Thanks for holding the fort down while I have been finding my way here, Glad you made it too! Don't forget to watch the final day of filming (for us Producers Only), Friday 2/14. It has been a hoot.
    Learned a lot about the movie making business. Chat with other producers as they are filming live.
    Hope to see you there or here in the Gulch.
    Bill
