Went with my son to see "The Interview" in Beloit this evening.
Crude, rude humor. Some guys down in front were laughing like hyenas at the jokes.
It was everything I expected it would be, and more. A bunch of Lord of the Rings references, and Seth Rogan got a few fingers bit off.
James Franco made a monkey out of Kim Jong-Un, and the death scene with Katy Perry background was perfect. Blown up by a shell from his very own Soviet tank.
I was expecting to have to watch it on streaming video, but my daughter told me she heard it was playing in Beloit, so I had to go.
$14 I don't mind having spent to poke it to that fat maniac over there.
Too bad it was just a movie.

Atlas Shrugged Part 2
My son and I went up to Janesville and saw the second installment of "Atlas Shrugged" last night. Including the couple who were there at the ending credits, a total of eight people saw the movie that we know of.
It's too bad more people are not getting exposed to this story. The delay between Part 1 and now must be a big part of the reason for the low turnout, as may be the fact that the cast changed completely between episodes.
The movie itself is much better in terms of Hollywood movie-making than Part 1. Much more use of CGI and it looked a whole lot more professional. The actors did a good job.
If you get a chance to see this, do so. I hope the remainder of the story does not drag out too long in production - if indeed there IS more coming.

Aieeee!
They're coming! THEY'RE HERE!!!
Found this at IMAO:
GOG - one of my early favorite movies. Those robots were damn scary for a little kid. Here's a taste.
This picture is a ton scarier than plain old Communist controlled robots with flame throwers.

Atlas Shrugged, Part Two
New 'Atlas Shrugged' film on the way
In March, POLITICO told you about the new movie, “Atlas Shrugged: Part 1,” based on the Ayn Rand novel that has enjoyed a resurgence in political circles thanks to the tea party’s embrace of its exploration of limited government power and individual freedom.
Given its mild marketing and theater screenings, “Atlas” box office performance was lukewarm: It did $1.7 million on its opening weekend on 300 theaters, for $5,600 per screening (it’s second weekend was less successful).
Harmon Kaslow, who produced “Atlas Shrugged: Part 1” along with John Aglialoro,told POLITICO that “Part 2,” which will cover roughly the second third of the novel, will soon get under way. And the hope is that it will be bigger and better.

But the folks behind the movie were undeterred and are moving forward with a second installment of “Atlas.”

Saw "Atlas Shrugged"
Good movie - I just hate having to wait an indeterminate time for the second installment.
It stayed fairly true to Ayn Rand's novel, but it was a bit jarring to see Chicago area Metra trains shot in dim light as Taggart Transcontinental rolling stock, and I had to bite my tongue when Dagny was shown driving around in a Toyota.
I wonder how prescient the $34.50 / gallon gas is. I had to pay $20 for less than a quarter tank in my wife's Fusion today = $3.89 / gallon.
