I saw this the other day, it's pretty funny.

John Howard said...: Yeah, the original Die Hard would have been more boring if he had a cell phone.; 11/13/2007 6:11 PM
michelline said...: Yeah, and think about it in reverse. It used to be no problem to create situations where people were isolated. Now you have to make up some convoluted reason why someone didn't just pick up a cell phone, if you need them to be out of touch for the plot. I know I've seen several examples of this, but I can't think of a specific one right now.; 11/14/2007 12:12 AM

I remember those days...; 11/15/2007 2:17 PM
Mr Furious said...: I can remember watching the X-Files and yelling, "Bullshit! Mulder would never have reception there!"

"What? His phone works in the middle of the desert? That's crap!"

"Wait, now he's climbing down into a buried boxcar in the desert and not dropping the call?"; 11/15/2007 2:20 PM

Doing the Internet. Har.; 11/24/2007 4:11 PM
