literally this big



Here comes
the Squirtle Squad!
they should just add an extra digit to the number. so instead of being 555-1234, it'd be 123-45678. if you weren't paying attention, you wouldn't even notice that it wasn't a real phone number, like you could with a 555 number. it would be way less immersion-breaking, and would make movies better imo.

that's dumb because there are county codes, and dialing 12345678 would reach you the numebr 234-5678 in the country code 1+ (US, or whatever)

You can use any size number it will just call whatever number is the first 7 digits

That's why you can have 1-800-LONG-WORDS and it still works

The ants. They're everywhere, man. Big fuckers.
they should just buy a phone for every number they use, and have the number constantly playing random trivia about how the film.

Mapparu

can you imagine how annoying it owuld be if they used real phone numbers in movies

GEExCEE

I bet really popular characters, like Owen Wilson and Yoda would have their phones ringing off the hook!
