Snyder is going to make an amazing film in the Fountain head, which I will watch drunk with a bunch of friend just like I did with the Room.

Man of Steel is made by a Randian?
Zack Snyder likes Rand so much he has been pushing his fountain head movie for years. So yes.

Really?...
Yes, really.
Remember how big LotR was in the early 2000s?
How does it relate to TL though? I want history lesson!
To keep posts on topic just saw new Ocean's 8. Was ok, not as good as George Clooney and the boys, but was good in it's own right. I disliked how every single preview before the movie was non-stop chick flicks. Way to stereotype the first all female Ocean's movie...

tl is a LotR themed website from the early 2000s. That’s the relationship to Tolkien. It was founded by Nazgul, early members included Eriador and some others I forget. I feel like the original banner was inspired by the scene from fellowship where Arwen summons horses from water. That’s where the tl horses come from at least.

I knew Nazgul was a LotR name, never really connected with the original horse banner picture though lol. The more you know.
Lost in all of this is that the 1949 movie, The Fountainhead , was a 7/10. Not a bad movie. Seeing as no one is disputing that and this is a movie thread (not an Ayn Rand thread) this will be my last post on it.

Being discussed is an extremely low bar anyway; a mod on this site has even written an excellent blog about how Rand's writing is objectively low quality and serves as little more than a clumsy, boring vehicle for political belief masquerading as art, an assessment that would likely carry even more force were Mr. Snyder's plans to take form.
The mod is incorrect. Rand's stated purpose of her fiction is the projection of the ideal man. She goes into much greater depth and detail than the single sentence i provided in her non fiction book "The Romantic Manifesto". If you want to learn the underlying purpose of her novel writing check out that book. in the Fountainhead Howard Roark is her ideal man. In Atlas Shrugged , John Galt is her ideal man.

damn #1 novelist of the 20th century lol
back when the New York Times was actually a good newspaper Americans were asked what books most deeply influenced their life. Unfortunately, the Bible was #1. It gives me hope knowing that Atlas Shrugged was #2.

TL.net predates the movies. And it was Elrond who summoned the horses in the books, not Arwen (the river around Rivendell was enchanted and kind of did it on its own automatically when evil things tried to cross the ford).
I’d challenge that assertion. Eri’s account was made in 2002, and the fellow ship of the rings was released in 2001. i won’t claim to know the original banner was actually inspired by the river scene but it definitely stands to reason.

Just came out of Incredables 2. and I've never been as board watching a movie.
Pixar really jumped the shark with this. The short film to start the movie was Disturbing unnecessary and groan worthy at the end. This is after a 2 minute "thanks for waiting for so long" montage of the main voice actors.
So after 30 minutes of previews montage and a short film the next two hours were predictable cliched trash that had less risk to it then a blues clues show. The animation was another generational leap forward for Pixar but they definitely forgot how to make a good story.
Rotten Tomatoes reports 199 Fresh reviews for only 12 Rotten reviews for the Incredibles 2 movie.
Although the New Yorker says: What’s chilling about “Incredibles 2” is its vision of born leaders with an unimpeachable moral compass to whom all right-thinking people should swear allegiance and invest confidence.
