OMG! Remember those things? What are they called? Hold on a second...PAY PHONES!! Remember them? I just saw one this morning on my way to work. I can't remember that last time I saw one of those. Interesting too, vertically, down the side of the big housing unit, were seven letters : V-E-R-I-Z-O-N. Yikes!!

I remember using a pay phone. Now that makes me feel old.

What costs more now, riding the bus or making a pay phone call?

I would say the bus, but I'm not sure.

Down here a phone call costs more, the buses are free

Hey Joe!

That's funny...how's it goin' down in Sweet Home Alabama?

About the same as always. Nothing ever really changes around here. Getting ready to move my shop the buidling should be ready in a couple more days.

Yeah, it's weird to think that a movie as recent as Phonebooth is already outdated.

Brad729 · 08-30-2006, 10:30 AM

LOL what was this thread about? Oh yeah... a lot of the payphones around here are Sprint PCS. I've seen one that said Verizon on it though...

spum · 08-30-2006, 10:37 AM

Don't forget that Verizon and Sprint also own landline phone companies...

And then that movie came out a little while ago, Cellular.

It's funny in some movies, you'll see people using some cel phones, and they're way outdated. The movie Breakdown, with Kurt Russell, his celphone was that first big-a** Motorola, the gray plastic one, with the black antenna, where the phone was huge, and the flip part was tiny. From what I remember, people were snapping off that bottom flip part like crazy.

Yeah, cell phones in movies will always be outdated because it takes a while for a movie to go from taping to release. Not to mention getting all the props BEFORE taping...
