The Fountainhead

That scar is ridiculously huge.
In real life you'd need stitches for a flesh wound like that. Next scene Cooper's face is as perfect as ever. It's called continuity, and is a thing of reality and should therefore be nitpicked by objectivists.
Also: Rand must have been stoned when writing this. What is the story about anyway? They love each other, they fuck: end of the story and can be narrated in the timespan of a Nescafé commercial. 770 pages are pure kitsch.

I enjoy old films because more often than not they are ridiculous and I still feel I'm watching a film. It's selfish I know, but then again I'm ok wth that. :)

The murderer Cooper was far too old for the part.

Forever. The last president ?

Okay supposedly shes like my aunt or something.

Patricia Neal looks a bit like Ayn Rand when she mean-mugs Gary Cooper like that.

Yeah thats right... a disciplinarian is totally self-controlled, but she was just the opposite. Rourke was totally in self-control teaching her lessons.

"Only if you doubted your ability, right, and responsibility to create your own happiness would you attempt to secure it through the looting of others."

Hope you don't mind if I quote that eloquent statement.

...Gary Cooper is so different from how I imagined Howard Roark to be

... same here. i thought he'd be... well. they could had done better with casting.
