the other day someone told me that they thought the atlas shrugged movie was good.

i doubt that. he also tried to get me to read the book. i have to admit that i didn't handle it well. i kinda went into talking to a christian who is trying to convert me mode and just dismissed myself from the conversation.
 
When our son was a baby and we never watched movies, we finally watched a movie: Starsky and Hutch. It was a steaming pile of shit, but we were so happy to be doing something like grownups do that we laughed a couple of times.

At my poker game a couple of weeks later, someone said they were going to rent it. I said we'd seen it and laughed a couple of times.

Next poker game, in the intervening weeks, he'd seen it.

From that time on, nothing I ever said about movies (or books, or much else) meant a fucking thing to him. "Wait, aren't you the guy who said you laughed at Starsky and Hutch?"

No real point to this story, I am aware. Carry on.

he was right to judge you so harshly. that movie is fucking terrible. you should be ashamed.
 
I wish I hadn't fixed that last typo. I hate the "edited by" thing.
 
and then i was sad. he seemed like such a nice guy.

aw man that sucks :(

a friend of mine was crushing on this incredibly hot petite blond girl and one day he drunkenly called me over and revealed that he had been "creeping" on her facebook profile and noticed that Atlas Shrugged was the ONLY book she had listed as a favorite and welp

He sounds like an asshole.

I dunno, the scene where Will Ferrell makes them act like dragons is sort of funny. I seem to remember laughing at something else in the movie but I can't remember what it was.

that kinda happens a lot with hot girls. it's really quite sad.

that's great, but it was still a horrible movie. i like ben stiller and owen wilson but that movie was just boringly stupid.
