Figures Jolie is in it, what with the fucked-up sex scenes.

I think the industrial-era could go over fine; what wouldn't is the bullshit where Dagny has the 3 most powerful men on the planet swooning over her, in one form or another. I have it on my Facebook profile and I'll say it here: Ayn Rand wrote this book with one hand. I have yet to read her other stuff, but as far as Atlas Shrugged is concerned, there's some serious wish-fulfillment going on. (To expand, you could argue that most stories are just the author's wish-fulfillment, but some are cool (IE Star Wars) and some are not (IE Atlas Shrugged).)
