RAND-Y SEQUELS ALIVE

'Atlas' Producer Shrugs Off Bad B.O.

"Atlas Shrugged Part I" producer John Agliaro has vowed to proceed with plans to finish his planned trilogy, based on Ayn Rand's book, despite tepid box office. "Part One" has made less than $3 million, and cost Agliaro $20 to make and distribute.

Agliaro blames critics for dismal receipts. In The Hollywood Reporter, he says 16 major critics that have reviewed the film all say it's lousy, and sees that unanimity as evidence of groupthink and "nihilism." Only shared political bias could account for it, he reasons.

I guess he hasn't seen the reviews for "The Last Airbender," or "Little Fockers."
