I'd imagine that's what he'd say, though it would have cut the article in half. I'd rather people fault this for being a shit movie, rather than simply troll Objectivists, as appealing as that may be.

No, not automatically, but it seems odd to specifically fault Rand for having crazy politics when you have equally crazy out there.

Good point, and that's something I've wondered a lot about today's right. You'd think her anti-Christianity would be implied by her complete rejection of the notion of self-sacrifice, but a lot of folks only take away Capitalism = good from her. *shrug*

Honest question here, Nathan, from a dedicated fan of your work: why do you find it difficult to  come to terms with Objectivism - you spend a huge chunk of the review criticizing Rand's philosophy as opposed to the film - yet you seem to uncritically accept the Marxism of The Coup?
