Before the hoopla and the inevitable caterwauling critics of the left and here in the Gulch, I'd like to thank you both:

For bringing Atlas Shrugged to the big screen during my lifetime.
For have the chutzpah to stand up to the Marxist crap that Hollywood has become.
For having the integrity to put your money and principles where your mouths are.

A great big THANK YOU.

Regards

Joseph W Gabriele

    I first read "Atlas Shrugged" in 1966; I've waited almost half a century to see it come to life. Thank you all.

      I read AS first only a couple years ahead of you. There have been a number of people out Hollywood way that expressed interest, only to back off. It really did seen to me that there was a effort to make sure this most worthy book never became a film. So, I too am grateful to Jon and Harmon for following through and making this happen.

    Many thanks to John and Harmon for bringing AS to the movie theater! When the AS screening I went to was over, I left the theater feeling exhilarated, thinking about how the years of disappointment at the previous failures to make the movie were erased by that 90-minute experience. Thank you for that. Looking forward to AS III!

    Never thought I'd see Atlas on the big screen, but thrilled that I did. Parts I and II were great, and I look forward to Part III. I know that each of us on this site are searching for the Gulch and wish we were there! Hope to see you in Vegas.

    Joe: we have such interesting and provoking discussions and disagreements and yet you have managed to bring us all into harmony on this vote of thanks. For me , from a battered book that came from a copper mine in PNG in 1985, to our community of producers on this site, it my lifetime - Ms Rand, John, Harmon, Scott thankyou for your inspiration and energy. I look forward to the DVD as soon as its available.

    Thank you both, and all the folks who worked so hard to put this whole thing together! The Gulch is a lifeline for me, virtually alone in a sea of progressives; now, I don't feel alone anymore.
