....also I think I read in an Ayn Rand bio (yes!) once that they wanted Wright to do the buildings, and Wright was all 'I WANT THE RIGHT OF FINAL EDITING OVER THE FILM OF MY LIFE STORY,' and Paramount or whomever was like 'LOLZ.' So instead they got some awful architect to whip up little pieces of cardboard, and that's why the buildings are such shit. I remember watching the video with my parents and we were all going, "No wonder he wants to blow up that big development -- his architecture _sucks_!"
