AS3 Review reply two years later???

Posted by richrobinson 8 years, 6 months ago to Movies

Almost two years ago I posted a reply to a negative review of AS3 on the Wrap. Last week someone responded with this:
Did you know Rand adored a child killer?
Almost two years and this is what he comes up with? Not sure I understand it but hey, I guess I have almost two years to think about it.

I have read comments over the years about AR that proclaimed she was a Communist shill, that she was a Fascist, that she wasn't really of Jewish descent, that she was as dominatrix, etc., etc. If people either write, speak or believe that crap they are beyond redemption and not worth paying attention to.

  True Herb. Rand was a target for many nut cases.

      Good point John. I've always been surprised at how strong the hatred is that's directed towards Rand or, more to the point, her ideas.

He is refering to an individual serial killer who Ayn heard interviewed.
He said that he allowed the pain from his childhood to "only go so far down" (in other words: He didn't "feel").
Ayn said that she admired the trait of not allowing pain to consume you. She didn't "adore a serial killer".

  Thank you Teri. Amazing how haters can twist just about anything.

    If I can say anything about perverse people it is this: They aren't deeply dedicated to reality.

What can this person possibly be talking about? I never heard any such thing. Did anyone give a name to this person Rand is supposed to have "adored"?

I take it you are reporting what some whack is saying? Some would take that to mean a multiple user of the Morning After pill.

  He is really out there. Looked like he just went thru the comments and added his stupidity. Not sure why he waited 2 years. Maybe the facility he is in wouldn't let him on the Internet.

Not that I think his comment has any validity but:
So how many did his hero war criminals kill?
How many are out of work thanks to his statist manipulators and propagandists?

  Exactly. Looks like he left that same comment on most of the replies. I saw a comment about how ironic it was that the movie was shot on National Parks and that without Government they wouldn't exist. Arguing with idiots...

    what info did he have that we didn't have? the movie was not shot in a national park(s). It was shot (the Gulch) on private property, city streets, a train yard, a lot, and a train station. All locations had to be paid for as far as I know. I'll ask and get back to you on that.

        so I confirmed that no footage was shot for ASII in natl parks. However, there was some stock Natl park footage used and some footage from AS I which was filmed in a natl Park. It's important to point out, you must get special permits and permission to film in a natl Park and you pay to film there. No different than private property in that way.

        His point was that if Ayn Rand had her way it would have been logged and ruined instead of preserved.

        Having lived and traveled the back country of the west for 39 years now, it is now a maxim, that if you see some burned areas - you know they are federally managed.
