maybe because you don’t see it more. maybe a reflexive reaction to how lost our hyper digita/ individualized society is becoming to sustaining these simple, life-affirming norms.

He feels too much like a lanky european arisrocrat to me. He also gives off an air of malice that would alter Reardon’s character. Jennifer Lawrence is acceptable, but I don’t find her sexual or charismatic enough. She is good at playing messy, and Dagny is not a mess. Also if we are doing alternatives I need someone who can get in the ring with Eva Green which is a high bar imo. It has to be done bc she is likely too old.

I avoided it because I felt it would be too heavy in book form, but the mini series with Tom Hardy and his now wife was good. And I am also looking forward to the film adaptation with Margot Robbie and Jacob Elordi because I’m sure it’s going to be weird. The bones are there, sort of.

Ya I know, but it still begs the question of why the type is all but gone which is likely a broader societal issue.

I don’t know if Pedro is diabolical enough for D’Arconia. I thought about this long and hard, there are some lines where Reardon is even humbled by his ferocity. Maybe Pedro has the range to deliver that but his obvious goodness is a hurdle. As for Reardon, Isaac feels too foreign and refined. You also need someone who is both severe but guileless, lacking malice. Bernthal, Tom Hardy are too street. Garrett hedlund? Ferguson is a good choice for Dagny but I don’t know if she is unapologetic enough. She carries defiance and sorrow well, less so arrogance and joy. Vanessa Kirby on the other hand is too arrogant, Dagny isn’t meant to make people feel she is better, she just is. I see Eva Green in every word Rand writes, maybe a testament to her character in Skyfall.

Initial Atlas Shrugged casting choices: Dagny: Eva Green. Who else? She is likely too old, but everyone else is so far a second we just need to have this moment for it to be her. Reardon: Luke Evans. Hemsworth has the acting chops but he is just too pretty for the grit. Skarsgard would have been excellent on intensity, but otherwise not physically grounded enough. Fassbender if all else fails. D'Arconia: Oscar Isaac. period. shill me your fighting responses, let’s hear it.

the litmus for love is that it is unconditional. it does not mean you choose that person, or have the capacity to broker them in your life. it has little to do with choice. what it does mean is that irrespective of time and space, the illogical affinity of the feeling — which knows only how to play and dance with the heart of the other person — stays the same. should the world implode but you survive to take inventory of what remains you will find it there intact brilliant as the spring day on which it came.

It is impossible to watch more of Tom Hardy’s work and not also become progressively more obsessed with him as an actor. Also by extension as a person, because you can never play what isn’t an extension of some aspect in you. Tom, Dick or Harry, it’s always you.

they exist. I know many. they are most often, not on social media and either married/ long-term with a woman they met in early 20s or got there by way of post- playboy era renaissance circa late 40. they are focused but also always having fun. they treat everyone with respect and dignity, they aren’t afraid to spend generously but never flash their wealth. they are always in peak physical shape, quick and open: quick to laugh, quick witted, open-hearted, open to rolling with the punches. they never* and i mean never**** lose their cool by way of reactively lashing out at service, friends, colleagues or women.
