A friend asked if I wanted to see the movie AS3, so I Googled a bit. It is no longer playing in theatres – after a one week run. Zero critics liked it, though 50% of Rotten Tomatoes’ voting members did.

HBL’ers will be amused to learn that no matter how bad the movie, Miss Rand’s point the mind can go on strike was not lost on reviewers, even on at the liberal NYC Village Voice.

Rand’s parable is meant to showcase just how much our world needs the best of us, but this adaptation only does so accidentally — by revealing what movies would be like if none of the best of us worked on them.

None of the movies made it to Canada.

AS1 played in Vancouver. Only for one week I think. 

[RobertBarnes]

Really!?  Just curious, do you remember which theatre?

[MichaelPoholka]

Yes. That crappy old one on Granville mall downtown, which has since closed down. There were exactly 2 other people in the audience with me. 

[RobertBarnes]

It would have been 3 if I had actually seen some sort of promotion for it!

Thats an amazing, dangerous concession to Rand, making it difficult to claim, “You didnt build that.” Perhaps the difference between and effects of excellence and incompetence is unusually noticable in the compressed(?) economy of NYC. Is the VV liberal or Leftist?
