You notice one thing about all those movies, they all SUCK! I am sure that GOOD movies will use this stupid plot device as a tension builder, but ALL of these movies blow donkey cock.

It just goes to show you how crappy writers come up with plot twists. The no signal crap is probably from writers experience with AT&T wireless. That might explain why they think it’s normal for the “no service” banner to pop up on their phones. Perhaps if more Hollywood writers switched to Verizon, they wouldn’t have used it as often. I think I see a commercial in there for Verizon. I just want a 5% kick back, no big deal.

Nice! I always love how they magically don’t work in movies.

They can’t all have had AT&T, could they?

Seriously, though, the one military guy had a goddamned SATELLITE phone. Those things work in the middle of the fucking ocean. Bullshit he didn’t get any signal.

Still, Renee is right. Without this, too many plot twists would be foiled.

They have to add in these lines now. Have you ever watched an old movie and thought “If they only had a cell phone…”? Well now most people do so they have to create a fail for the plot to work!
