HaloNoble6 Posted July 28, 2005 Report Share Posted July 28, 2005 Then I should make clear why I'm in this discussion as well: ... I am a little baffled by the more vitriolic criticism heaped upon him in Objectivist circles. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Three Day Drunk Posted July 28, 2005 Report Share Posted July 28, 2005 Then I should make clear why I'm in this discussion as well: Perfectly reasonable. You have explained your own position very well, we disagree. I should state once again that by defending Wolff I am not hell-bent on denigrating Rand. I agree with certain of his criticisms of her fiction as compared to Hemingway and others. This does not mean that I did not find The Fountainhead an interesting piece of work. Incidentally, if The Fountainhead film were to be re-made, would anyone else be interested in seeing Gary Oldman as Toohey? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

HaloNoble6 Posted July 28, 2005 Report Share Posted July 28, 2005 Why would Rove be appropriate for playing Toohey? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
LaszloWalrus Posted May 17, 2006 Report Share Posted May 17, 2006 I read Old School and, surprisingly, I found something even more offensive than the mockery of Ayn Rand (as bad as that was); Wolfe gives her a "humorous" line regarding how her family members were killed by Lenin. This is like making light of the Holocaust or the Rwandan genocide. Disgusting. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
