What is your approach when you want to talk to a stranger?

Haven't seen anything in the "stranded on a desert island" genre in a while, has it died off? We had: - Treasure Island - Lord of the Flies - Castaway - Battle Royale - The Beach (the island wasn't deserted, but we'll allow it) - Lost - Etc Excluding shitty "I'm a Celebrity Get me Out of here" bollox, nothing really comes to mind. Have we just gone off the idea of being stranded on a desert island? Maybe being alone isn't scary anymore? Maybe everyone is autistic as fuck now and relish the thought of being alone on an island or some shit? Am I wrong?

For comparison, 50 feet is about the length of a bowling lane. View quoted note →

In crime dramas, the MOST INVISIBLE place on earth is sitting in a car, in broad daylight, less than 50 feet from whatever is going on.
