Since I'm named after her, I thought I'd let you know that Dagny is spelled without the "e."

Gag me! Angelina Jolie as Dagny? Dagny is attractive, yes, but her real beauty comes from her strength. This is a story of capitalism at it's purest. This is like a gay actor playing Don Juan (or Josh Brolin playing Reagan). It just won't be believable. What a lousy way to destroy what's been voted as the second most inspirational book ever. Second only to the Bible.

I thought the same thing, xanana! I'm thrilled to see Atlas Shrugged come to the big screen, but with Angelina Jolie? I don't think so!
Does she even know what it's about?
