All Steven Spielberg really changed when he switched the guns in ‘E.T.’ to walkie-talkies was his fans’ respect for him. But what if he’d make a bigger technological switch, such as enabling E.T. to actually “phone home”? Here we imagine the impact cell phones would have on various movies throughout the ages. (Hint: ‘Serendipity’ would be about ten minutes long.)
