Atlas Shrugged Part 2 goes KABOOOOOOOOOOOMMMMMMMMMMM!

[RoccoRyg]

HA HA HA HA HA HA! Atlas Shrugged Part 2 is at 0% on Rotten Tomatoes. It's even worse than the first! Even Kyle Smith of the New York Post didn't like it, and he's the most conservative film critic there is.

1. James Holmes: "Whoops ... I thought it was in Cineplex 2 ...

my bad ..."

[truebluegreen]

2. Shocker. n/t

[LTR]

3. They made a SEQUEL???

What's the point when nobody saw the first one?

[socialist_n_TN]

4. A LOT of money is the point..........

It's propaganda, pure and simple. It might lose a lot of money, but they'll invest in it on the CHANCE that it might influence the public.

[LTR]

9. If nobody sees it...

...I don't think they'll be very influential.

[Scootaloo]

26. That's both pathetic and ironic.

Wonder if they've gotten any sort of public funding

[Starry Messenger]

39. I think we should do midnight showings like "Rocky Horror"

An all anti-capitalist revue!

[Indpndnt]

6. Probably so Lyin' & his Randian acolytes could point to the movie as "the right way to live."

Not happenin'. Bummer, Paulie. [url=http://www.cosgan.de/smilie.php][img][/img][/url]

[eppur_se_muova]

35. Well, they had a lot on the cutting room floor, so why let it go to waste ...

same philosophy as behind hot dogs.

[Blue Idaho]

5. Part One Box Office = $4.6 million

Cost $20 million to make.

Can Part 2 do half that Box Office? I doubt it.

[A Simple Game]

34. Part one made $4.6 million? Probably, but I would bet that

at least half of that was from people who thought it was going to be another superhero movie.

[Blue Idaho]

40. And it cost $20 million to make.

No superheroes anywhere in sight!

[struggle4progress]

7. Atlas choked,

and all his libertarian friends shrugged: they certainly weren't going to give away free Heimlich maneuvers

[Initech]

8. Atlas Failed!!!!

[Blue Owl]

10. Atlas dropped a deuce

[Qutzupalotl]

11. Atlas Sucked.

[NoPasaran]

12. Who could have seen that coming?

[alittlelark]

13. Atlas in ruins.

[Union Scribe]

14. I thought ultra-capitalists liked making money?

So why do they keep making these movies?

[Arugula Latte]

15. Atlas Flopped.

[Whovian]

16. One of the four star reviews in the comment section unintentially hysterical.

"Just got back from the first showing at my local theater - with only myself to fill the enormous room. It was quite the treat, as it was my first time viewing a movie without someone to go with, and ironically my first time being the only one there. I felt like it was being shown just for me!"

[Hissyspit]

17. Why are sure that's unintentional?

[Whovian]

18. I guess it could have been satire but after reading through the other posts

I kind of doubt it.

[Hissyspit]

36. It is hard to tell nowadays, isn't it?

[Paladin]

32. I Bet That Reviewer Spends A Lot Of Time Alone. (nt)

[Hissyspit]

19. "Atlas Shrugged is premised on the idea that the world only has a few true geniuses—

—great industrialists, inventors, musicians, and artists, too, albeit plainly none involved in the making of the Atlas Shrugged movies."

[Bigredhunk]

20. Nikke Finke Had A Great Comment About It In Her B.O. Summation

And finally the genre busting Atlas Shrugged Part 2 (1,012 theaters) – serious drama to Ayn Rand acolytes, an hilarious comedy to the rest of us - should open the day with a gross in the $650K-$850K range for a $2M-$2.5M weekend.

[Kennah]

21. Atlas folded and shelved

[aletier_v]

22. Randers have been spiking internet statistics

trying to make it look like there's widespread interest in an Ayn Rand resurgence.

Whoever funded the movie may have bought into that deception.

[tuvor]

23. But 75% of the audience liked it.

Average Rating 4.1/5
User Ratings: 2,012

[jmowreader]

30. When the national audience is 100 teabaggers?

I've had second thoughts about this film. At first I thought one of y'all had the sacred duty to see it. But after reading the preliminary reviews I'm ready to declare that it sucks hard enough to drain a swimming pool in under 30 seconds and leave it at that.

[vinny9698]

45. That's like saying 75% of Jewish New Yorkers like Woody Allen latest movie.

The people attracted to certain movies of course are going to like that movie.

[Warren DeMontague]

24. Atlas Shat.

Now I will proceed, in 45 pages of long-winded monologue, to explain to you exactly why the shatting exemplifies the virtue of selfishness.

[Baitball Blogger]

25. Obama 2016's reviews are an interesting contrast.

The Left left very thoughtful, but negative reviews for a 28% rotten tomatoes; but the right clicked the "like" button to get it up to 77%

[alphafemale]

27. Ayn Rand was an absolute wretch of a human being.

She placed selfishness as a noble ideal.

She said altruism was evil.

I don't believe in mythology but I think she is the closest thing to an Antichrist we will ever see.

[Cirque du So-What]

28. Funny you should mention that...

Anton LaVey, founder of the Church of Satan, said that his 'religion was 'just Ayn Rand's philosophy with ceremony and ritual added.'

[Zalatix]

29. ZERO!!!! Oh snap!!!

[coldwaterintheface]

31. Will the TeaHadists at least go Galt on us now????

I really wanted to see a bunch of TeaHadists going Galt, moving to a private enclave of some sort even call it Galt Gulch and everything just to punish the rest of us!

Of course they would demand they still get SS and Medicare but after a week or 2 it would go from Galt Gulch to Lord of the Flies!

[Kindly Refrain]

33. The libertarian randroids have gone Galt!

nobody noticed...

[Bigredhunk]

37. Funny About The Community Rating On Flixter/RT

Every turd rw movie gets about 75%. Coincidence?

Atlas Shrugged 2 - 84%
2016 (Douchesoozle's movie - from Rocky Mountain Pictures - RMP) - 77%
Last Ounce Of Courage (RMP) - 74%
Atlas Shrugged (RMP) - 74%
An Inconsistent Truth (RMP) - 74%
Expelled (RMP)- 67%
I Want Your Money - 66%

[Bigredhunk]

38. BTW

They've revised it downward. It's on track to make $1.9 Million.

[Blue Idaho]

41. About what Shrugged Prt 1 did...

It's the same bunch of mouth breathers coming back for a second dose of hate.

[Yavin4]

42. I Think That The Audience Went Galt On the Movie

You see, you really do need collective action in order to achieve success.

[JPZenger]

43. Ayn Rand hated the 1949 movie of The Fountainhead

I just read a story about how much Ayn Rand hated the 1949 movie of The Fountainhead.

[Bigredhunk]

44. Weekend B.O. Downgraded AGAIN!

Now to $1.6 million. The free market just doesn't like conservative turds. The only one that did okay was Douchesoozle's movie, and that was probably fake (bulk) ticket sales.

46. I wonder which pay channel will have it on first?

and in how heavy of a rotation?
The second it comes on, I will cancel my subscription to said channel and tell them why.
Bring it HBO or showtime,starz,or encore.
I'm paying to much anyway, but got the package deal.
Actually cheaper to have those,for now...when the deal wears off, I'll switch providers again.
I play everyone against everyone else for the cheapest rate.
Our house has 2 sat. dishes on it so I can change quick.
