Yep, I said it and I don't know why nobody else did, unless my eyes stopped working for a moment when I checked this forum out. Ayn Rand is my role model, Dagny is a high ideal, Angelina is small in comparison. Quite small, tiny, itsy bitsy teensy weensy. She butchered the part of Lara Croft, and now she's at it again. But no, it isn't entirely her fault. Hollywood loves to give great characters to mediocre and talentless actors, it's a trend. Personally, if I could be so, I'd be offended, but it's nothing that hasn't happened before. It just sickens me that people who call themselves 'objectivists' support the deal.
Peace,

Hi Assandra,
Agree with you about Angelina, but what has that got to do with Michael Wacko JAcko? Do you think he should play Dagny :OP
Totally right, Angelina is not the part.
And what's wrong with michael jackson?
Haven't you ever seen a signature before?
Very funny.
Is it just me, or do many of Rand's male heroes have a thing for eachother? Sometimes their interactions are very homoerotic.
To say Angelina Jolie is not much like Dagny Taggart is an understatement. "In Touch" April 30, 2007 ran an article about her. Here are some of the things they wrote:
1) She has more than a dozen tatoos, everything from Asian letters to Latin sayings and one which bears the latitudes and longitudes of her children's birth places.
2) She is an admitted bisexual and boasts about having mulitple lovers. While married to Billy Bob Thornton (whose name she also has tatooed on her left shoulder) she told reporters on the red carpet at the MTV awards that they'd "had sex in the car on the way here."
3) She was a troubled teenager. She admits dabbling in drugs and cutting herself with knives. "It's that middle stage when you might not know what life means that is the dangerous time," she says.
Further, while married to Thornton she wore a vial of his blood around her neck on a string and she has been photographed amorously kissing her own brother in public.
Actors must change their true personality when playing a story character, and in this case that can only mean good things, however there is a limit to how much one can change one's personality and it is highly questionable that someone like this has the range to reach a character like Dagny Taggart.
