  • smartkuz, on 10/01/2008, -6/+110"... im gonna fake my death so dont freak out..."? LOL... Should of texted. Who checks vm these days? They're screwed.
  • badwithcomputer, on 10/01/2008, -3/+95i look back on old movies and think this all the time- if only that character had a cell phone, this movie would be over before it got started. i think with newer movies the screenwriter has to do a good job of explaining to the audience why the protagonist doesn't have a phone...maybe it got dropped, has a dead battery or in harold and kumar's case it was just too far to go back to the apartment.

  • longcat99, on 10/01/2008, -5/+47The guy playing Forrest Gump didn't really look like him, but his voice was perfect!
  • inactive, on 10/01/2008, -5/+39I sometimes miss the days of no cellphones.

    Doug: yo, what's up?
    Bob: dude, my girlfriend dragged me to that movie, Sleepless in Seattle.
    Doug: it looks like it sucks, a total chick flick. How was it?
    Bob: it totally sucked! Even worse than I could have ever imagined!
    Doug: got it. The missus said she wanted to see it, but I think I'm just going to stay home
    and play Doom instead.
    Bob: good plan ... laters
    Doug: thanks dude!

    ... yup! Much better with a cellphone!
  • jester55, on 10/01/2008, -0/+17Dugg for Gilligan's island theme.
  • Intamin, on 10/02/2008, -0/+17but didn't.
  • erockappel, on 10/01/2008, -5/+21Uhm. It would not be funnier if the films took place during the cell phone age. You are wrong.
  • 1hrSleep, on 10/01/2008, -3/+19I wanna say I conquered but... I'm not gonna lie. I kind of got lazy and just took a nap. Sorry. =/
  • GothAlice, on 10/01/2008, -1/+15She's a screamer. :3
  • DragonForce4, on 10/01/2008, -1/+14too old
  • BKred, on 10/02/2008, -1/+14shouldn't have
  • elhaf, on 10/01/2008, -0/+11I call this the "cell phone problem" and I'm always on the lookout for how writers solve it in new films.
  • Koushiro, on 10/02/2008, -0/+10To be extra nerdy, I don't think there was a cell tower near hogwarts.
  • elmetald00d, on 10/02/2008, -0/+10the phone lines were down from the beginning of the movie. by the time they were back up the family was on the way back home already, the mom in the polka van and the rest of the family waiting at a random hotel.

    the police check the house but find nobody because kevin doesn't answer the door so the family thinks kevin is not at home, hence why they do not call home.
  • jmahnn, on 10/01/2008, -1/+11Yeah, it should've asked him the password to his own voicemail.
  • dafragsta, on 10/01/2008, -1/+11Then you've been away a while. Their stuff is smarter and funnier than most of the Funny or Die crap.
  • AmICoolNow, on 10/02/2008, -2/+12Should of.
    *****.
  • sulthernao, on 10/01/2008, -3/+13Because technology doesn't work in highly magical areas and the fact the book takes place from 1991-1998.
  • floridiot2, on 10/01/2008, -0/+9Holy ***** I didn't even know you could call yourself and leave a message.
  • gr00vy, on 10/01/2008, -0/+9What about sleepless in Seattle?
  • dafragsta, on 10/01/2008, -0/+9I bet this is driving writers crazy.
  • bozodaclown51, on 10/01/2008, -1/+10tyler would've just told him he didn't have a cellphone if jack asked for his number
  • ditroia, on 10/02/2008, -0/+9How bout, 'I'd use a phone, but I think it might give me cancer.'

  • TobiasParker, on 10/02/2008, -1/+9He doesn't have a name, the jack reference is to the magazines. "I am jacks ruptured colon"...etc...I like to think of him as Rupert.
  • Decimit, on 10/01/2008, -1/+9It's even more entertaining to watch for all the times they could have easily used the phone to keep themselves out of the dire situation they ended up in, but chose not to...only to use the phone in a scene or two later for some meaningless reason.
  • Favreism, on 10/01/2008, -0/+8Yeah, that's his cousin. when I said "working towards", I meant Nicholas still reigned supreme, but Dan is getting there.
  • Gudeldar, on 10/02/2008, -1/+9LOL is an acronym genius, it is supposed to be capitalized.
  • debuggercll, on 10/01/2008, -1/+9PBF's Nicholas Gurewitch is great too. http://www.pbfcomics.com/
  • DNABeast, on 10/01/2008, -0/+7Mobile phones have changed the landscape of Thrillers and it's just going to get worse. When we're all communicating using embedded microphones and speakers in our teeth no-one will be alone again. Go back and watch Silence of the lambs. When Clarice realises that she's in the house of the Madman, she has to ask to use his phone. It's very jarring.
  • dafragsta, on 10/01/2008, -0/+6I'm wondering why a cell phone was even necessary for this one even. They were well off and not afraid of technology. They surely would've had a phone. How else did he order pizza?
  • TheBuz, on 10/01/2008, -0/+6I would think they would have had more horror movies. But that was awesome none the less.
  • Frodoholic, on 10/02/2008, -0/+5Dugg for accuracy.
  • keviniskool, on 10/02/2008, -0/+5Actually, in one episode, they did have access to a phone on the island. A phone line was washed up onto the island, and they rigged a phone to it. Unfortunately, there was no way to insert coins, so they couldn't make a call. And of course, Gilligan kills the idea permanently at the end of the episode.
  • Miamisun, on 10/01/2008, -4/+9Actors impersonating other actors that they look nothing like!! Where do i sign up!
