I would suggest everyone follow Rich's suggestion about Roku with the Netflix enhancement. We did. So now, I will be able to watch Ayn Rand: In her own words this weekend, instantly and for "free." I just love technology!Thanks again Rich!Adam Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I assume most of Rand's biographical reflections are from Barbara Branden's extensive interviews. In fact, at one point (while Rand is talking about buying the 65 cent dinner instead of the 45 cent dinner), I believe you can hear Barbara laughing in the background. Yet, despite the extensive credits at the end of the film, no mention is made of Barbara's role. This incessant pettiness from ARI is sickening.Ghs Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

At least they avoided doing like in some bad prints of Bruce Lee's "Game of Death" where they had someone's paste-on head stuck in there. Or, more to this case, whited-out.

Reidy Posted September 3, 2011 Share Posted September 3, 2011 The story is that they did just this in the audios of Rand's fiction-writing lectures. Every now and then, presumably when NB or BB speak up, a voiceover intones "At this point the question was asked..." Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Selene Posted September 4, 2011 Share Posted September 4, 2011 Rich, George, et al.,Just watched it tonight.A well done film that reminded me both how joyous she could be and also how vulnerable she was.Some of the pictures with her cat(s) were precious.Also, her vamping for the camera reminded me of the woman within the philosopher.I am truly blessed to have lived in her time, been able to read her great works and be able to absorb the truths and break through visionary concepts that she brought to us.Adamthanks for Roku Rich Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Fred Cole Posted September 4, 2011 Share Posted September 4, 2011 I'm slowly working my way through it. A lot of times I put things on in the background and do other things, but with this film, I realized I needed to actually watch it and listen to it at the same time.Btw, where abouts in the film is pics of her with her cats?

There is a priceless shot of Frank on the left and Ayn on the right with a big faced cat sitting up at the table with Ayn holding the cat.Adam Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Selene Posted September 4, 2011 Share Posted September 4, 2011 Fred:At 1:11 [one hour and 11 minutes] and at 0:52 minutes there are cats and Ayn.Two on a couch. And a single one. For some reason, I cannot isolate the one with the cat propped up at the table between Ayn and Frank.Adam Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The same mischievous cat whom she designated a “professor of epistemology” because he once urinated on a nonobjective painting.Now that’s what I call a cat lover Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
