These days everybody has one, from little kids to little old ladies. From the tiniest piece of mobile technology to the iPhone, or just a regular cell, people just love them. Or rather adhere to the trend of having one. It’s more than just a fad these days and it does have its benefits.
But lately, I for one, have gotten tired of seeing them everywhere. If you’ve got a thriller, there’s a chance a cell phone, or several will pop up when least expected. Got something you want to share to the audience without having someone talk? Text message. Need a way to find the villain or hero? Trace the cell phone. Have a special little gadget to hide? Shape it as a cell phone. Want to convey that someone has an active life? Have them talking at a cell phone while driving. Have a bomb? Want to blow it up from a distance? Rig it up so it goes off with a call. Surpassed movie budget? Throw in a shot with a cell phone brand and cash will pour in. Everywhere.
They even thought of making a movie out of it. Cellular’s star wasn’t Chris Evans, but the cell phone. In as many variations as possible. There’s cell phone while driving, while walking, while hiding, while shooting, while Evans is shirtless. The cell phone’s friends are right there too, including the charger, batteries and such.
And I don’t think it will stop. After all, who uses a shoe phone these days?
