What about historical movies? I don’t remember seeing people with moat+door, but still can see a medieval movie with “open the gate”

Jessica Fletcher is the only murderer I would ever trust to get away with it.
imacmadman
Ah yes, the analog Google.

I dont know. Society could collapse and do it all over again.
IamTOOOLDforThisShite
That's true. Very few people are named "Harry" any more.

This is after the beast changes back to man and they need to get new jobs.
ThatDamnChickenAgain
That's because all those damn movie heroes were ripping that one page they were interested in from the phone book.

I keep thinking how stupid, the could've just taken a photo

This live action Beauty and the Beast remake is weird.

My question is WHO IS STILL DELIVERING THE YELLOW PAGES TO MY HOUSE
reformedxile
they still deliver to you? I never got one after I moved out and had to request one for my collection
Preincarnated
What did she do to his eye? Whatever it was, I bet Harry doesn't waste any time pulling over this time.

You do not talk back to a woman who single-handedly fought off a Nazi invasion with animated furniture.

According to *some* people, everything has to be made "accessible" for "new audiences". Which translates to "dumb it down, so even ... 1/2

They will prolly get it wrong 1994 like "Let's get his address from the phone book then go to a cybercafe & find his house on google maps."

The fact that was ever a thing seems super weird these days. Here, lets publish your address to everyone in your metro area.

That seems fine to me. IMO you generally shouldn't be able to get the address of someone you have no way of asking for it.

In the UK, you could pay to go ex-directory (basically be removed from the list)

It was part of the extortion racket - "We're gonna doxx you unless you give us some money"

In Sweden all names, adresses and phonenumbers of its citizens are freely available to everyone online.

You can ask to be removed though.

I miss Jerry Orbach. Really enjoyed his acting. Loved him on Law & Order.
WesVTX
See lots of ?'s. Jerry Orbach was a recurring MSW character named Harry McGraw. This is pre L&O.

Law and Order crossover with Murder She Wrote. They finally brought her in for all of those murders in that sleepy little town. Duh dum.
RubyPorto
Lumiere and Mrs. Potts
ColoradoCattleCo
All I know is that I DEFINITELY did not want to be a friend of Jessica's. Life expectancy after meeting her is about 5 minutes.
Imalwaysready
I would LOVE to see a Murder, She Wrote: SVU crossover. Mainly for the way Jessica Fletcher casually mishandles evidence and crime scenes.
Vter3
What if Gollum was investigating the murders?
sirava
...the little old ladies who investigate crime, and the district attorneys who try to keep the confession & evidence from being thrown out.

"Oh, I don't think it was consensual." "No? Why's that?" "Well, [opens purse] I found this used condom and this knife underneath the body."

DA: "We know 100% who did it--plus how, when, why, and with what." "So you got the guy!" DA: "Oh no, he'll walk. Happens every time..."
DMSledge
worse yet is she is still probably more accurate than the SVU police porn.
WesVTX
TBF she was rarely a formal investigator. Much of her evidence was comments & actions before witnesses. Some eps even referenced your point.
LrrrRulerofThePlanetOmicronPerseiVIII
Highest per-capita murder rate of any fictional town, iirc
BobFictional
I think Midsomer is giving it a run for it’s money
mcbotulism
And located in one of the safest states (maybe THE safest state) in the country.
WesVTX
Sorry but pre L&O, Jerry Orbach was Boston-based private investigator Harry McGraw. He had a brief The Law and Harry McGraw series.
daranthered
And then they worked together on Beauty and the Beast

It completely blew my mind to find out he was Lumier.

Law & Order ran long enough you could watch tech evolve. I think at the start they had beepers and had to phone back to the precinct.
Preincarnated
i recently read a lot of books in a detective series that started in the 1980s and is still being written today. Besides the morals in the_
Preincarnated
early books being atrocious (he comforts a rape victim by sleeping with her), it starts with books in which the distance of a payphone to_

the victim's house was critical evidence or a further crime happened because the main character didn't have a quarter on him to call in and_
Preincarnated
warn someone to modern books having drones and cell phone hacking and GPS tracking and DNA backtracking from other public databases.
Imalwaysready
X-Files, too. No cell phones in season 1 and very little computer use. But soon they have cells and later are Finder Spydering people!
Filanwizard
on a payphone. of course in the late 80s you could basically find banks of them on basically every block.

Ikr? Who's named Harry anymore?
PutItInNeutral
We had a teacher in high school named Mr Butt. There was a rumor that he had a son named Harry.

Can someone explain what she meant? Did phone booths have paper telephone directories in them? (They didn't in my childhood in the UK.)
claudiekante
In Italy we had them
Imalwaysready
Exactly that. In the U.S. at least, the standard phone booth had the phone and then under it a copy of the local phone book (often chained >
Imalwaysready
there so it wouldn't be stolen). In the days before memorized numbers, you either had to have a phone book or call an information line.
SirChadwellHeath
Some even had them captive in a holder so you had to flip the book up to open it
evilspyre
They did in the UK & there used to be the thompsons local & yellow pages for businesses to advertise in. Every house got their own copy too
RunawaySpoons
I remember Yellow Pages but don't recall seeing them in a phone box - maybe that was before I was old enough to notice.
writerbuddy
They did in my childhood in the UK. Local directory and yellow pages business directory, on a shelf.
RunawaySpoons
I don't recall that from my childhood, maybe it was before I was old enough to notice. (I remember getting Yellow Pages at home, of course)
