Legend.

I glossed over True Lies in the original list. Completely missed it.

Obviously that has the highest budget. Probably half of it is just the F16 set piece at the end.

What I’ve learned from this list is that period pieces are way more expensive than I thought.

I assume Interview, Maverick, and Gump are all inflated just due to the historical sets.

Inflation calculator says a 1990 was worth 2.3 times more, so most of those budgets are still tiny.

The only question is if his victims are few or many.

We used to make midbudget movies. Of those, probably speed is the most expensive and it’s budget wasn’t insane.

It’s good they are coming back

The cluster munition attack with the highest known civilian casualties occurred on April 8, 2022, when Russia launched a Tochka-U ballistic missile equipped with a cluster munition warhead at a crowded train station in the eastern city of Kramatorsk as hundreds of people were trying to leave the area. A detailed Human Rights Watch investigation found that the attack killed at least 58 civilians and injured over 100 others.

In Bruges or any of the Guy Ritchie movies starring Jason Statham fall into the same style, but are generally better executed I think.

The movie is a Tom and Jerry cartoon.

You aren’t supposed to like them, you’re supposed to enjoy watching the ridiculous ways they bounce off each other as they are forced to cooperate.

I’m sure other types of Ukrainian munitions have killed civilians as well given that the Russians use them as human shields.

It’s not good, I’m not happy about it and I’m glad I’m not the one who has to make the decisions.

However, I was talking about targeting civilians specifically.

And I don’t think your example is anywhere near the same ballpark as specifically targeting fleeing civilians.

I’m sad we don’t get to see the end of July valuation until the end of August

And the ruskies are using them in civilian targets.

Beyond that, know what else has a chance of exploding well after the war and injuring or killing someone?

You know what both Ukrain and Russia have already use many thousands more of than Ukraine has been issued cluster munitions?

You know what no one is moralizing about so hard they shit their pants?

Yeah I needed to be hit over the head with it.

A couple bags of Lipton getting freaky would have got me there I think.
