The way the book was explained to me, if your dad is a working stiff he'll just tell you to work hard at whatever high paying job you can get. If your dad is a high finance type of guy, he'll show you that the real money is in managing money.

Good concept, and true I guess. The book is useless though!

I actually liked The Fountainhead. Rugged, taciturn individualist architect slowly overcomes all the scheming poseurs. It appealed to the younger me anyway. I didn't pick up on any deeper message at the time and this was pre-internet so I didn't have a clue who Ayn Rand was.

I haven't read the source material but the movie is one of the best sci-fi films of the new millennium, and certainly one of the most enjoyable. Films like Arrival, Dune, Blade Runner 2049 are visually striking and thoughtful but Edge of Tomorrow is also great fun.

The top ten box office movies for 2024 had 8 sequels, a live action Disney remake, and the first part of an adaptation of a Broadway musical based on a book which was a prequel to another remade movie based on a book.

I reckon the 2025 list reflects the state of the industry quite well.

Am I wrong or would that mean the US workforce was 743,360,000 people?
