Dumb and Dumber. There's definitely an air tag in that luggage now.
Go. They could just call each other.
The Shining. That hotel is just automated now and doesn't need a caretaker.
Catch Me If You Can. All that airline shenanigans could not happen post 9/11.
The Truman Show. No reality TV would put someone that earnest on as the center of the show.
Misery. Phones, GPS, the whole lot. He'd be much more trackable.
Network. No news network is giving their anchor that much monologue screen time without cutting to the next segment.
So I married an axe murderer. It's just way easier to get full details on people now.
Was gonna say Toy Story but it looks like toys vs screens is literally the plot of the next one.
Reminds me of No County for Old Men (2007).
there’s a film that couldn’t be remade today. that film taught me if i ever come across a huge bag of cash probably involving gangs the first thing you do is move it to a new bag one note at a time to remove any tracking devices.
First thing to buy is a commercial roll of tinfoil to wrap the whole thing in.
Tinfoil good enough to protect the brain from the mind waves.
Ah yes, that other. Comedic trope where the dye pack explodes in your face and you spend the rest of the movie looking like a Smurf or Donald Trump
Good thing the plot is set in 1969 then.
The Truman Show - He was born into the role, iirc. The showrunners adopted him before he was born and taped his birth as the first episode of the show so it's not like they knew his personality beforehand.
They absolutely would fuck with his life more than the original movie did, though. He wouldn't have an idyllic life in a small town with too many ad reads, he'd be in The Squid Games.
