Do you care where movies are made?

Canada pretending to be America is also annoying.

Not really. Although I remember watching a Stephen King series where one episode was apparently set in England when it was actually filmed in New Zealand. It was so obvious in the outdoor scenes that it took me out of the story.

They should have just re written the story's location instead of trying to convince all viewers outside of Britain that England looked so good!

The worst is when they pretend it is outer space, but they are filming on earth! I hate that. Those cheap jerks should film in outer space, instead of pretending some city on Earth is outer space.

it doesn't matter one little bit to me.

i can't understand why anyone would care that someone made some canadian city pass for new york or whatever. we're basically america jr. why on earth would that matter to you?

i do like it when we get to see movies from countries we ordinarily don't get to see. so if i see something on criterion or mubi that's from turkey or iran or laos or wherever, i'll likely be into checking it out.

No I don't care since I'm already suspending belief from the get-go.

I wish movies would be shot on location. I love to travel, and I've traveled enough to recognize some of the places that Hollywood likes to use as substitutes, like Griffith Park Los Angeles, and the Owens Valley.

I mean, if I'm sitting there watching a movie about Iron Man or an ancient Roman gladiator, I don't want to see the damn Owens Valley playing Afghanistan or barbarian Spain! Takes me right out of the action.

I travel a lot, so it’s always fun to spot places that I’ve been to. I don’t get upset if they try and pass off one place for another - I get it if there are budget constraints.

I often look up filming locations, there a a lot of buildings and landscapes that are used over and over again

It's fun stuff to know
