A rather good companion of mine with a penchant for science fiction frequents my domicile at least weekly. Now that we have progressed our way through the entire SciFi corpus, we have decided to direct our attention to the incorrectly termed genre of Hacking Movies.
Of course, moive reviews are not sufficient unless one channels them in the style of Ayn Rand.

Day at Night: Ayn Rand, author, "Atlas Shrugged"
Host James Day interviews philosopher and writer Ayn Rand, who explains her philosophy of objectivism and offers her concept of the ideal man. Rand also discusses her thoughts on rationality, love, morality, free will, and art. She describes her early determination to become a writer, and the ideas encompassed in her influential novels, The Fountainhead and Atlas Shrugged. Taped at WNET in New York.
Day at Night originally aired on public television from 1973-1974. This episode was restored by CUNY Television. (Taped: 03/29/74)
Ayn Rand at Columbia University
Ayn Rand Institute
Throughout the 1960s, Ayn Rand conducted a series of radio lectures and interviews on Columbia University’s campus radio station, WKCR. The lectures were often written works that had previously been in print elsewhere, while the interviews consist of students and professors inquiring about Objectivism.
The topics Rand covered include the state of the world, industrialists, human rights, law and government.
Through these collected recordings, longtime students of Objectivism and intellectually curious newcomers alike can gain a unique insight into Rand’s thinking.

Rescuing Grammar from the Pedants
Principles of Grammar is a new book by Leonard Peikoff based on lectures and student exercises from his 1981 live course, expertly but lightly edited by Michael S. Berliner. Peikoff, who is a philosopher by profession, maintains that the source of grammar’s authority is neither tradition nor social convention but immutable facts about the human mind.
