[Atlas Shrugged is] a totally ridiculous book which can be summed up as Sociopathic idealized nerds collapse society because they don't get enough hugs. Indeed, the enduring popularity of Atlas Shrugged lies in the fact that it is nerd revenge porn.

The next time some smug European starts lecturing you about how America has lost its moral compass, and tortures people, and is turning its Constitution into hamster bedding, you can look them straight in the eye and say “at least we didn’t let ‘The Final Countdown’ go to number one, you tone-deaf bastard.” And do you know what they will say to that? Nothing. Because there is nothing to say. You held the line, America. Stand tall.

When there's disputes between the director and the composer, the traditional way to resolve it all the way back to the '30s is to use the "Newman Method," named after Thomas Newman, who invented the 'Follow the Clock' method of scoring for film. Basically, the director and the composer role up the scores, clear off the table, and arm wrestle. So you've got to stay in shape. Fortunately for me, Tim Burton is pretty wimpy, so I always win. On the other hand, I can't hold a candle to John Williams. One time he challenged Spielberg *AND* two stage hands, and he kicked all their asses.
