What modern movie plots wouldn't work today because of the Internet?

“What does…” and Google auto completing “…dead nigga storage look like?”

I dunno … on the occasions when I’ve been to Disneyland and Disney World, I just assumed that they’d be open when I chose to visit. And they were. But perhaps because of that assumption, which I couldn’t be the only one to make, I’d expect that nowadays, they’d let the word out six months prior–via their website, Facebook, Twitter, and so on; that they’d be closed between Dates X and Y.

Still, while I find it to be a funny movie, I find it odd that the only people who didn’t know Walley World would be closed are the Griswolds, Cousin Eddie and his family, and Aunt Edna. Even pre-Internet, nobody else was there when the family drove in, so there must have been some kind of TV/radio/print media publicity on the closure. How did all of America know Walley World was closed, except the Griswolds, Cousin Eddie and his family, and Aunt Edna?

Citizen Kane because no one reads newspapers anymore.

Tora! Tora! Tora! – you just know one of the Japanese pilots would’ve Tweeted “Attacking Pearl Harbor this morning!”

Casablanca – thanks to Photoshop there are literally thousands of letters of transit available to Ilsa and Victor, good enough to fool Major Strasser.

Actually, Marion never would have gotten off the main road in the first place, because she would have had a GPS.

Ilsa: Play it once, Sam. For old times’ sake.
Sam: I don’t know what you mean, Miss Ilsa.
Ilsa: Play it, Sam. Play “As Time Goes By.”
Sam: Pulls out iPhone
Which version? I have a bunch of great covers on Spotify, and have you seen this one done with a polka band, on YouTube? It’s actually pretty awesome…

Still wouldn’t work—they could buy burner phones from a convenience store.

“Before I give you this Mogwai, I should tell you the rules for his care. Ya know what, better yet… let me show you this YouTube video demonstrating what happens when they get wet. And an upworthy ‘I got my Mogwai wet, you won’t believe what he did next!’ In fact, you can just Google ‘gremlins’ and see a lot of what’s at risk here.”

“Here’s my email address. Also, Skype me if you have any questions or problems.”

“Let’s take this shortcut.”

“Nah. I Google-mapped it. It dead-ends at some farm house.”

Hi back!

But I’d have to disagree on this one. The witch was clearly bending time and space. Any directions that the smart phones gave would still just lead the people in circles.

Scarlett: If U go, where will I go or do? :confused:
Rhett: Don’t care. GFY.:mad:

“Well, yes, obviously we can’t just WALK into Mordor but check this out. There are, like, half a dozen Uber cars heading there right now.”

Lyft? Nah, they’re not licensed in Rohan.

Nice quiet location but the manager seemed kind of creepy like he wanted to stab me in the shower. Also super creepy house up the hill from hotel totally creeped me out. Won’t go there again, smiley.

How does one deposit cash with the click of a mouse?

“dafuq? Google Maps stops at Osgiliath? Lame.”

Definitely check out Texts from Jane Eyre.

He, like most modern banks, would be dealing largely in electronic fund transfers.

“Aunt Em? The weather watch on my phone says there’s a tornado watch. We should probably all go to the cellar before it actually gets here.”
“Jonathan? I just Googled this guy Count Dracula-- I don’t think you should sell Carfax Abbey to him.”
“When you kill Snow White, take a video of it with you phone, and send it to me, so I know you did it.”
“Since there’s no work here in the dust bowl, I’m going to email a bunch of resumes, and try Monster.com, and check Craigslist. If anything pans out, we can load up the truck and move out.”

RedOctober@Facebook.com: “One poke only.”

Jennaaay… I saw what you put on yer Facebook Jennnnay. Mama always said you’re kind of a trainwreck mixed with a side of dumpster fire, Jennaaaay.

Let’s Zillow this house in the Back of the Yards. Let’s also run this mortgage calculator to see what we’d pay with interest.
