Atlas Shrugged is that 1,000+ page manifesto by literary cult hero Ayn Rand. It also happens to be that new movie breathlessly promoted by Tea Party activists, grassroots conservative groups and small-government minded think tanks. Despite the movie being hyped by Sean Hannity as the title “Hollywood doesn’t want you to see,” its chances of actually becoming a pop-culture phenomenon and reaping box office glory a la Farenheit 9/11 or Passion of the Christ aren’t looking that good.
