I have a visceral reaction to advertising and promotion. There's just something about salesmanship that grates on me on a very base level and I react very negatively towards it. I want those people to suffer and I want their enterprises to fail.

Re: What's the greatest "single location" film?
I should probably revisit the movie. But I saw it in theaters when it was first released and I hated every minute of it. Over long, tedious, cold, uninteresting, noisy, busy, bland, obvious, pretentious, indulgent, flat.tragabigzanda wrote:Wtf epilogue, what is your problem with Gosford Park?
Nothing about that movie worked for me.

12 Angry Men is probably the answer. Otherwise it’s Evil Dead 2. The airport scene and the ending arent disqualifying.

Re: What's the greatest "single location" film?
Bug is a great choice, especially interesting because it is the ideal of a single, claustrophobic location fixed in space; but, more interestingly, a space that changes drastically over the course of the movie.Ms Harmless wrote:no idea what "the greatest" are but these are some I like:

It's not the greatest, but The Outfit starring Mark Rylance is a pretty good single location film.

Re: What's the greatest "single location" film?
Tape is another strong, underrated single location film. Like Bug, Tape is also based on a play.
