Posted December 27, 2021 So I just watched Don't Look Up on Netflix (it didn't suck) but there was one thing I found interesting and funny... There is a company in the movie launching a new phone. The phone is the same chassis as the Red Hydrogen One. I found it funny but also it got me thinking of how many movies use old tech as new tech. So what ones can you think of?

Posted December 27, 2021 Not exactly the same thing but a dumb movie use of tech is in the 90s action movie, True Lies. Arnie turns on a classic mac, it chimes then boots into Windows 3.1.

Sounds like the kind of stuff we do in community theatre to whip up some cheap props. Glad to know even multi-million dollar AAA movies aren’t entirely above sketchy prop hacks.

Plus with it being post apocalypse, maybe they're just manufacturing a bunch of old model Caddies because reasons?
