SinisterSS Posted October 28, 2010 Report Share Posted October 28, 2010 Just saw this on the news tonight, it shows in a 1928 Charlie Chaplin film a man or woman walking across the screen talking into what appears to be a cell phone? take a look and see for yourself http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=WhP-dHKlk9w Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
sol740 Posted October 28, 2010 Report Share Posted October 28, 2010 (edited) I love how he postulates that it couldn't "possibly be a radio cause its 1928 ...", I really hope this is a (stupid) joke. ITS UTTERLY IMPOSSIBLE THAT SOMEONE HOLD SOMETHING TO THEIR FACE WHILST SPEAKING !!! THE ONLY ANSWER IS TIME TRAVEL + CELL PHONE !!! Though to answer your question, is time travel possible ? Do we count Time Dilation ? Edit: Also we know for a fact from the terminator movies that when time traveling into the past you can only bring organic matter. Unless of course you're a non-organic giant murderbot, that is encased in living tissue. Which does sort of beg the question as to why John Future Connor didn't just ram future-guns into some animal, or other fleshy pocket and send those back too. Though why didnt skynet just send another terminator back to the day before the first one got there and just kept trying over and over, since time wasn't an issue. Also why didn't ... awww fuck time travel. Edited October 28, 2010 by sol740 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jerrodh Posted October 28, 2010 Report Share Posted October 28, 2010 Really random and as said it could be anything. But interesting bit none the less. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Bigbird Posted October 28, 2010 Report Share Posted October 28, 2010 I'd like to ask who the FUCK you would be talking to on a cell phone in 1928? Sputnik didn't go up till 1957, so I'd venture to guess that there certainly weren't any cell phone satellites orbiting the earth back then. Proooobably no towers either. So how exactly would this magical cellphone toting tranny get her iPhone to work back in 1928? Riddle me this Batman. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

SinisterSS Posted October 28, 2010 Author Report Share Posted October 28, 2010 if that's a man or woman they have HUGE feet, possible alien life form? BUT seriously, If I had to make an educated guess, I'd say when trying to convert this movie to DVD format the original film was damaged and it was a re-shoot to make it look original and that jackass wasn't paying attention to what he was doing at the time of filming Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Obviously its future tech that doesn't require a tower, she is talking to people from the future (her own time). Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

twistedfocus1647545489 Posted October 28, 2010 Report Share Posted October 28, 2010 possibly, but she is holding on to something as well. Coin purse / wallet? ...If she really is a 1920's hooker I bet she often had some dude's coin purse in her hand. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

evan9381 Posted October 28, 2010 Report Share Posted October 28, 2010 didnt the guy say he was a film maker? what if kinda like mentioned above, he reshot this then claimed it was on the DVD just to gain some fame? obviously a lot of people are looking at it *now*...if i go buy the DVD and this is on it, i would probably have to wonder WTF is going on.
