KP has also finished another film. http://www.imdb.com/title/tt3038414/?ref... The info shows the budget at $40 thousand dollars so I don't expect to see much in the distribution budget and is on the way to a quick DVD release. Anybody see this film who can offer an opinion?
Oh, OK. Now I think I get it. From the headline I thought you meant how many read Rand after discovering the Gulch through the movies. I have to stop drinking before 8AM each day.
I don't get the interest in Polaha. He really has little to do with Objectivism except to play a role in Atlas 3. Actors wear and shed personalities like a duck sheds water. It's their job. It doesn't reflect anything about them.
Here is what he said in that interview that reflects him, not a role:
"What we eat is what we are, so if you eat a lot of fast food, a lot of junk food, you’re eventually going to get overweight and you’re going to get sick. I think the same goes for what we put into our minds, through our eyes and ears – what we read, what music we listen to, the movies and the television that you watch. If you just keep putting in empty fattening dark stuff, eventually that’s going to be reflected in your thoughts."
Sounds to me this actor picked up some good philosophy from his Atlas association or had some good ideas of his own.
His new film is about "faith"; I don't know if it peddles religion or celebrates the power of hope. A recovering alcoholic and a Down's syndrome boy and a cute teenage girl -- no elitism here. Could give Forrest Gump a run for the money.
Here's my Backstrom comment on a TV blog that I frequent. Another mis-fire from Hart Hanson and company. Like The Finder, the protagonist is supposed to have some special ability or skill that allows him to analyze things that others cannot. And so, there were comparisons to House MD before the season started. But in both cases, the portrayal of the abilities was mundane and uninteresting. Not to mention that the characters were, at best, 2 dimensional and also uninteresting. The actors were capable of and in fact deserved much better material than they were given (as evidenced by the final scene). The premise for both shows was intriguing and had potential, but with the execution we've been given, I'd be surprised if we get to see another season. (written shortly before the cancellation was announced)
This sounds very interesting. I'll have to check it out. It reminds me a little of my story (minus the hard drinking). I'm raising a son with disabilities. The world is forever changed for me. I thought Pohala did a fine job in ASIII.
