Of course money never sleeps: It’s an inanimate object! Other just-as-accurate titles Oliver Stone could have considered for the sequel to his 1988 business drama: Wall Street 2: Money Never Eats, Wall Street 2: Money Never Says Never, Wall Street 2: Money Never Just Wants To Be Friends. Perhaps by pointing out the insomniatic nature of currency, Stone is trying to make a commentary on the way that liquid capital slyly exerts power over the economic system that dwarves that of mere humans? Maybe. But in that case, he would have been better off using this line from David Mamet’s Heist: “Everybody needs money. That’s why they call it money.”
