Usiing tax credits to make a movie warning of big government? I’ll ‘Go Galt’ rather than support a hypocrite.
(At least new TeePee governors in Michigan and Pennsylvania are ending film tax credit programs in their own states, now that they’re in office. Sure, it means losing jobs, but it’s not like those jobs go to their kind of people…)
(The “Atlas Shrugged, Part 1” movie is better than it might have been but not as good as it should have been. See the movie but read the book to understand how much better they should have done.)
(Yes, Dirty D: Go Galt. That’ll show them. As for the supposed hypocrisy, this is the first I’ve heard of tax credits being involved, but even if they were, it would be futile not to take them, in exactly the manner of a young person using a government-backed student loan to enter a career from which to oppose such government programs. The contradiction is in the system, not in its victims.)
I really appreciate your April 16, 2011 comic. I have been voicing this for years. They have set up bad ideas in the minds of our youth for too long. I have begun to refer to it as whorelywood. Where went the films that left things to the imagination, not show all and tell all. Parents are just as bad if they let their children watch this filth without their guidence to inform them that this is just filth and is not acceptable behavior. I hope this will eventually knock the profits out of improper behavior in films and star behavior. GO LIO.
@pschearer: I’ve read and re-read Atlas Shrugged with an open mind, and found it to be over a thousand pages of self-contradictions and political ranting. Hardly surprising, since Rand’s arguments were fueled more by emotionalism (i.e., bad memories of the Soviet Union) than by actual thinking.

MARS NEEDS MOMS is a pretty good book, one of Berke Breathed’s better ones.

Pretty sure a few Hollywood moms to be do need at least a good talking to first. THEN a spanking…

“OOH! A SPANKING! A SPANKING!” (What? Someone needed to make the obscure Monty Python reference here. Just saying)

Atlas Shrugged? No thanks. I’m not into cheesy horror movies.

Why bother? This movie tanked at the box office, big time.

I can think of other institutions that need moms and spankings as well.

What, nobody has said it yet? — Lio needs a mom.

Lio is clever, and Ayn Rand was a simpleton. That is all.

Has Lio been listening to Michael Medved?

Sherlock: How much Ayn Rand have you read? Try “Introduction to Objectivist Epistemology” and we’ll see who’s a simpleton.
