each subsequent atlas shrugged movie had a complete turnover of cast and crew

quote:

The trilogy received predominantly negative critical reviews[2] and the aggregate USA box office is just under $9 million (revenues do not include video and television). The first film, directed by Paul Johansson, stars Taylor Schilling, Grant Bowler, Matthew Marsden, Johansson, Graham Beckel and Jsu Garcia was released in April 2011 and had a USA box office of $4.5 million on a budget of under $20 million.[3] Most of the marketing was done online. The second film, directed by John Putch, stars Samantha Mathis, Jason Beghe, Patrick Fabian, D.B. Sweeney and Esai Morales, and had a USA box office of $3.3 million on a budget of under $10 million.[4] The third film, directed by J. James Manera, stars Laura Regan, Rob Morrow, Greg Germann, Kristoffer Polaha, Lew Temple and Joaquim de Almeida, and had a USA box office of less than $1 million on a budget of under $5 million.[5]

but really though there work seems like not much more than architectural masturbation. they may have put up a few structures, but they were never able to enact their whole philosphy. it's like the whole garden city thing. as far as i know, nothing even approaching the original intended scope of that idea has ever been developed.

van der rohe invented that style but he did it right. the proportions are perfect. dude started the bauhaus, ffs. i love the TD center in toronto.

i agree that other, more recent architects have taken the wrong lessons from his work and made soulless cubes, the same way that a ton of industrial designers misunderstand minimalism when ripping off dieter rams and end up just making boring basic poo poo. but that's on them

i like le corbusier's work in the 30s but after that he gets wacked out and also i can't take seriously anyone who names themselves "the raven"

i don't think anyone really knows what it means (the closest translation would be more like "the raven-er") but anyone who assigns themselves a mononym is automatically 1000% more tedious

i especially liked his idea or algiers, which was to raze the city and build a giant block going all around the bay to lodge everyone, transport would be done by a giant megahighway on top of the block itself

corbu liked to eat out, at trucker and factory worker bars in order to strengthen his connection to Der Volk, er, the workers, and that's why his kitchens are tiny, because he never used them

also he apparently didn't know about sigma values because his designs aren't made for people ten centimeters taller than the average

i'd completely forgotten about what anne rand actually wrote because everything is a blur now, but you reminded me of the time i tried to read atlas shrugged. i got halfway through to the part where all the captains of industry live secluded in their impossible utopia and i literally threw the book in the trash

Strikes are bad! Now let me tell you how rich people refusing to do work is not a strike.

It's because management can't strike, only the workers can.

I didn't even make it that far. I did watch the first movie, though, which is Battlefield: Earth levels of hilariously bad.

Battlefield: Earth is at least goofy and tries to make an interesting-looking sci-fi world, the atlas shrugged movie is just boring people talking intensely about completely un-relatable problems.

Well, similar in that the source material is just god-awful, but because they're true believers they just lean into it. Also, if I remember correctly, the second half of the book Battlefield: Earth is a dispute with another bunch of aliens about the mortgage on Earth, so it would have caught up in regards to boringness and unrelatability.
