Reply #14: "Over-promoted"...? I don't think so... [View All]

Barely one week from release, this film is getting virtually ignored just like the cheesy, low-budget work it is. Although I'm sure some Randroids will be orgasmic with delight that their "scripture for capitalist atheists" is finally reaching the screen, I'm sure more of them will be highly disappointed that, after fifty-four years of waiting, it came to the screen in this very un-spectacular manner.

Personally, I think that the fact that the guardians of Rand's estate finally had no choice but to sell the rights to Their Precious to a TV-episode director so he could do a low-budget production with a no-name cast (last time I checked, the biggest "star" in the project was the guy who played Principal Snyder in Buffy the Vampire Slayer) says how much their idol's star has fallen, no matter how many teabaggers claim to live by the book without, obviously, having ever read it.
