Join me (or don't, if it's not in your self-interest) for a romp thru part one of Ayn Rand's garden of selfish delights. It's the heartwarming tale of two crazy corporate executives and their quest to figure out why the heck they can't get the steel and train engines they need and who this guy John Galt is. I explain who the heck Ayn Rand is and why she is so woefully wrong about economics, politics, and industry. And I compare the movie to 2-Headed Shark Attack and soap operas. I generally praise the sets and effects and acting, unlike the communists who write most of the reviews, but I admit that it's about as dull as people talking can be when your villain is a wrongheaded economic policy. But I have fun with it and keep it light.
