Fun Stuff

Trivia:
Based on an actual phone booth (which accepted incoming calls) isolated in the Mojave Desert which gained an on line following. Callers from many countries dialed (619) 733-9969 later (760) 733-9969 to see who would answer (often people who hiked to the spot). The phone was removed at the request of the Mojave National Preserve in 2000 and per SBC policy the phone booth numbers were retired for good. more
Quotes:
Beth: [first lines - phone conversation over scenes of cassette tape litter] Where does it come from, ya know? Seriously, what's on it? You ever wonder about that?
Greta: Mmm, not really.
Beth: Maybe just a desert phenomenon; I don't know. A desert road phenomenon.
Alex: [tears tape out of cassette and throws it out the car window]
Beth: In theory you should be seeing less of it, right? With the popularity of digital and all. But there seems to be more of it now than ever. All over the place.
Greta: Maybe it's because the tape is out-dated. Because everything *is* going digital.
Beth: Yeah. It's weird though. It seems like it's always been there. As long as I can remember. What about the pieces that are thrown away on purpose? What exactly is on that, ya know? We're just assuming it's either bad music or bad home movies. What if there's something on it we're *supposed* to know about.
Greta: Or not know about...
Beth: Or could it be something even more extraordinary? Something beyond even our comprehension?
Richard: [driving along drinking from a liquor bottle]

Good Independent flick...., 11 April 2008
8/10
Author: gombass from United States

Though I don't know the validity of the history of an actual "Mohave phone booth", the idea of a grass-roots internet site does remind me of the marketing plan for the Blair Witch Project. I saw "Mohave" at the 2007 Staten Island Film Festival and was a little disappointed that there was no Q&A afterward. Overall, this movie is of high professional quality from the acting, directing, sound, and editing...and of course producing. Definitely is of quality and ready for mass marketing. The only problem is this movie would have to be dumbed down to appeal to the masses. A must see if you want to watch a quality independent film. The magnetic tape, though...I didn't get it. Why wasn't there a Q&A in Staten Island???
