Unless they're figuring in set-design and transportation into that equation in which, yeah, even using real money, it would've cost more money.

don't remember the details but, yes, that $80M was just the top layer. all the money that gets thrown in bags was the same fake money. i guess the 'dollars' cost more than a dollar to hire but that doesn't scale to the higher denominations.

Q What were the logistics of setting up the scene with the huge pallets of money in the storage locker? It’s just such an unreal amount of cash.

A. That is actually a very expensive scene. It’s fake money. You’re not allowed to shoot real money. There’s a prop house in Los Angeles that makes it. If you look closely, it says “motion picture money” on it. It’s quite accurate and it’s illegal to copy their money even though it is fake. Our prop department rented all of their money. Our construction department built a block underneath that, and we put the fake money all around the block and put more stacks on top. It was really complicated and incredibly expensive. Every single dollar had to be accounted for. For weeks, you would walk to our production office and you would see these rooms of prop guys counting the money because there was so much of it.

those fake pennies are for kids and, while you could boil a pile o' pennies, it's probably best not to use actual currency when dealing with five year olds.

In other news, black male fatally shot and killed by police whilst walking around with letter L that was purported to be a handgun.

As of 2011, it costs 2.41¢ US (or $0.0241 US Dollars (USD)) to make a penny, making the coin's face value less than its actual value. The cost first exceeded the face value of pennies in 2006.

Thanks to capitalism, all of these things have destroyed the planet irreparably.

Also capitalism has not invented mary poppins pockets, i call shenanigans.

everyone's posting the lamest "conservative images," right? these can't be the best, most insightful, most biting or withering or caustic material that the conservative movement has to offer.

Daniel, Esq 2, Saturday, 19 April 2014 14:24 (ten years ago) link

powerful. these images are powerful

i think a thread where ilxors tried to post the most salient conservative memes and infographics would be a good idea, and i'd be interested to see how it compares to this thread

een, Saturday, 19 April 2014 15:22 (ten years ago) link

My sense is that conservatives are much better at manipulating language than visual images. They fall back lazily on the usual patriotic symbols, like the flag and Mt Rushmore and saluting soldiers. Lately, they've been fetishizing Reagan's portrait, too.

Aimless, Saturday, 19 April 2014 17:14 (ten years ago) link

Perhaps it is as much a fault of the US left as anything, there is no reason why the flag and the constitution and saluting soldiers couldn't be embraced by the left as symbols of freedom, equality, power through peace, charity for the poor rather than the rich, etc. Those symbols should be up for grabs for ALL Americans yet it feels kind of strange to (for instance) look at 60s leftist radicals and see them embracing the flag.

there's a lot of terrible Dem memes but they lack the baroque insanity of the best powerful Con Imgs

A SheeplePig would be a great boon to production - the versatility of pork and also wool?

ya but sheep grow back their wool. if you killed the SheeplePig for meat, you wouldn't get much of a wool harvest.

The right kind of SheeplePig would grow back its meat too.

So is the assumption here that proper conservative women hate penis?

building a desert (art), Thursday, 8 May 2014 19:19 (ten years ago) link

afaict the thinking goes something like, "only likes the penis to which she is married and then only just enough to submit to its impregnating forces."

carl agatha, Thursday, 8 May 2014 19:21 (ten years ago) link

More or less penis ambivalence then

tolerance, methinks

I think they call it penis originalism.
