*Okay, TVTropes.org...
Ah yes, everytime I browse TVTropes I always wind up overspending some time.
But I wonder is it in the presentation that makes the difference? The final speech part of Chaplin's 'The Great Dictator' IMO is important in the historical context. But as a movie, it kind of doesn't fit well. Again it's important given the history and the time, but it is a bit jarring.
Also is it Author Fillibustering or Mary Sue? Or is it a case of 'this one is egg shell...this one is ivory cream...it's a HUGE difference dear!' ;P
But hey, I give Atlas Shrugged one thing, maybe 2. Without it, Bioshock might not have exist, or would exist in a very different form. And 2...it's a big heavy book? Though quantity alone is not quality, I guess it can be it's own kind of quality. I think Rand also said that one.
