Atlas Shrugs...I Shrug

I read on babble that they've made a movie of Ayn Rand's "Atlas Shrugged". It's part one. Evidently they plan this to be Narnia for the Objectivists. I pity the screenwriter who has had to deal with this boring tome. She won't be able to use any dialog from the book. Natural feeling dialog was never one of Rand's strong points as a writer. I remember reading this book in high school and being such a believer in her ideas, but I remember this scene at a cocktail party that simply turns into our hero droning on like a Bill Clinton inauguration speech. Nobody stops him, rolls their eyes, or leaves. Totally unrealistic. It turned the whole book into a chore.
