Are there going to be a lot of slow cuts while Rand's chosen Author Avatar rants about makers and takers for 30 minutes?
Zack Snyder’s Justice League
- Thread starter Shadyside
- Start date
You know if Snyder was that a perfect match to tackle Randian subjects in films.
Then he would make a great Bioshock movie.
Does it, though? I've never actually read Rand, because fuck that shit, but somehow I don't think there are many opportunities for slow motion action sequences in Fountainhead.
I....don't want to know.
Clearly you just don't have enough imagination.
Anything can be a slow motion action sequence if you want it badly enough.

It's okay, she wanted it. It excited primal urges.
(seriously the scene is out of left-field and is clearly Rand indulging in some "kinks")
In that case, you read approximately 85% of the story by plot, and 40% by word count (okay, that's hyperbole, but Galt's speech comes near the end, and is 50-100 pages of a 900 page book, iirc; at least, that's what it felt like).
Interesting fact: the longest Shakespeare soliloquies clock in at about 4 minutes based on the pace and delivery of the actor. An actor back in the early days of YouTube posted his dramatic reading of John Galt's speech. It was in 7 parts, each one between 12 and 15 minutes long.
You know, on the one hand brevity is the soul of wit. On the other, at least he’s explaining himself, however laboriously.

Not to turn into this a Rand thread, but doesn't a notable amount of the whole "Galt's Gulch" plot depend on the "heros" having essentially magical technology that produces unlimited resources for them so pesky things like logistics can be ignored?
Which ironically makes it kind of like Selfish Star Trek(where the Replicator makes resources essentially infinite).
I haven't read it, because I don't have the patience for it but that's what I've picked up from reading about it.
And Lovecraft's characters don't exactly require a lot of depth, which is a bonus. Snyder could do the visuals of old weird fiction justice. He would still need to dial back his excesses. Maybe if he had Guillermo del Toro standing next to him during the production with a rolled up newspaper?
Can I have a new Conan movie please? We haven't had one since the Jason Momoa one.

Either he is an active character in the story.I can barely contain my enthusiasm, all of the Oscars win confirmed, yadda yadda, 2020 plz stop ...Jared Leto to Play Joker in Zack Snyder's 'Justice League' (Exclusive) | Hollywood Reporter
Or most likely he's gonna feature in a Flashback sequence of Batman's past.
Heck if its the latter it might show the death of Jason Todd Robin
