Atlas Shrugged producer goes mooching to generate enough money to make another Atlas Shrugged film

The jokes just kind of write themselves, don't they?

Have at it, folks; I'm exhausted.

“never live for the sake of another man, nor ask another man to live for mine”

Yet ask a buncha guys to fork out six figures for their movie. :P

I also appreciate this quote:

"despite the free market repeatedly determining it would rather not have any Atlas Shrugged movies, producers Harmon Kaslow and John Aglialoro boldly refused to relinquish their rational self-interests to a world that would dare take their ideas from them"

Will it have yet another totally different cast again?

I like how they try to fig-leaf by claiming that their begging for cash is all just a publicity stunt. First, suuuuure it is. Second, yes, dudes, the problem with your first two movies was definitely lack of publicity.

from comments: I liked "Shruggers gonna mooch".


“The Atlas Shrugged Kickstarter campaign is of course a voluntary value-for-value exchange. You are not obligated to contribute,”

well THAT'S a relief.

On the one hand I kinda want this movie to be made so sabotabby can snark about it.

On the other hand I hope everyone involved dies in a fire.

But the whole /point/ of Randianism is that charity is bad /even if/ it's voluntary! They are Randroid-illiterate!

I feel kind of bad for them, like when you see someone making an ass of themselves and want to crawl under your chair in vicarious embarrassment. At the same time, I sort of admire their brazenness. They must know everyone who hears about this is laughing at them, but on they go with their terrible movie. If they had any shame, they would have stopped after the first one flopped.

I am just so happy that I now have the word "shruggalo" in my vocabulary.
