Guess it’s a sign of the times that Albuquerque is down with this. I remember reading about how the city council of New Caanan, CT, was very upset when they learned what the movie _The Ice Storm_ was going to be about (or maybe just that it was going to include a key party) and they immediately withdrew their support for production. ETA: I might be misremembering the part about the town actually yanking material support, but I did find an article about the outcry: [https://www.nytimes.com/1996/05/19/nyregion/in-new-canaan-lights-action-angst.html](https://www.nytimes.com/1996/05/19/nyregion/in-new-canaan-lights-action-angst.html) ---

Can SF get a statue of Dirty Harry pointing his .44 down at you, “do you feel lucky?” And make the gun opening about an inch in diameter. ---

> [@Si\_Amigo](#): > > Will Jesse be holding out a teenth while Walter is clutching rolls of hundreds? I’m thinking that a sculpture of them dissolving a corpse in a vat of acid would be more appropriate. ---

I think the barrel should be empty and for $30 you get to climb into it and they take a picture of Walt and Jessie dissolving you. ---
