Glengarry Glen Ross
Tonightattutle and I watched Glengarry Glenn Ross -- a movie of a Mamet play about four salesmen trying to sell vacant "investment" land that they've never seen.
I chose this film because one of the areas of land they're trying to sell is Rio Rancho Estates. And, truly, this is the dirty secret of Rio Rancho's inception -- vacant land sold to people as an investment who never saw it. Interestingly, that land has recently started to have a lot more value.
This film is set on a cold rainy night in Chicago, as three salesmen try to save their jobs. If you want to see desperation on film, this is a great place. If you're very fond the word "fuck", this is the film for you.
I'm glad to have seen it, and I'd definitely recommend it. But I think that's enough now.
