Home phones?

America Online?

What is this, 1998? The movie was made in 2010 so I'm confused

I'm just confused because a date is never given, and usually if it takes place 10+ years in the past a date is given. Also it doesn't feel like 1998. It feels like present day but no one uses pay phones / home phones even in 2010.

And a 22 year old kid using a computer that says "you've got mail!" in 2010? No way...

Fantasy worlds are the same as real life.

It's a fucking movie that SCREAMS "pop culture" even more than fantasy. That's my fucking point

Because the setting is important when we're talking about pop culture....

All settings have to be based on known reality.

Pay phones are still a thing in certain areas. Last time I was in NYC I saw some. Not a whole lot but I did. They could be removed by now but I doubt it. They're good for emergencies.

I also have a home phone. And it's 2017 so...

It's based off a comic series that started in 2004 if that helps clear up some discrepancies for you.

Wow, the point of the movie is so far over your head it's not even in the observable universe!

Don't they have amazon in the movie? So it's at least 2000ish or whenever the website started.

Also, people still use outdated technology, so that's an explanation...maybe they're just frugal and don't care about having cellphones or something? Maybe that "you've got mail" notification is the only thing that gets Scott out of bed in the morning?

Stop being so judgmental dude.

Judging by the fact it's for hipsters, it's set before it was cool to exist.
