This link has no place to comment.

They are hitting the "publicity" angle hard in an attempt to get kickstarter to pull the project.

Contemptible, but that's what Marxiststs are.

You didn't need the money and you didn't need the bad press.
So thanks to the people at ASP3 for finding a way for Objectivists world-wide to get involved and show their support.

I am proud to be a micro-producer of this project.

Great news! The haters are repeating themselves already. The same angle, the same quotes BLAH BLAH BLAH. Boy am I glad Ayn Rand didn't run of ideas this fast.

  It's ridiculous.
  
  Let them rant.
  
  This is the proud tradition of this story: it survives and flourishes despite their impotent smears.
  
  They flood the zone with their biased media mouthpiece regurgitating to their true believers... and Atlas gets quoted on the Senate floor.
  
  Ultimately, you are known by your enemies.

    I love the way the Gulch has stepped up. I can't believe the number of articles that have been found. You are also known by the company you keep and the people you respect. I have a lot of respect for my fellow Gulchers right now.

        I would like it more if it wasn't someone unsteadily holding a picture and was some real footage of Curly in action.

    There used to be a saying among the American Indians that a tribe's strength was measured by its enemies. Looking at the array of forces against us, we must be mighty indeed.

They keep talking about how irrelevant we are. Just keep talking.

I'm thinking it was borderline brilliant to do a kickstarter AND to anticipate the negativity and call them "haters" right out of the gate.

  >>>I'm thinking it was borderline brilliant to do a kickstarter
  
  Yep. A brilliant scam. The movie is supposedly "fully funded," yet the producers — who must already know that Part 3 will perform about as well at the box office as Parts 1 and 2, perhaps worse — are promising to have the production designer carve your name in a part of the set if you fork over a "donation" of $7,500.
  
  Sweet.
  
  >>>AND to anticipate the negativity and call them "haters" right out of the gate.
  
  Got news for you: the only thing the "haters" hate is a crappy movie.
  
  I love the scam, though. So far, it's actually the most creative part of the trilogy.

      Hey Shrug. I thought I heard something. Sounds like we caught something in the troll trap.

      Thanks for trying to alter reality by changing someone's words according to your subjective whim. They're now more aligned with your fantasy notion of those who like well written, well directed, well cast movies — you know, the "haters."
      
      You're a good cult member! You get a special "Zombie Merit Badge" for choosing not to think.
      
      Ah, but see you already have one . . .
