Trivia
Based on a real phone booth that accepted incoming calls, isolated in the Mojave Desert, which gained an online 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.

Citas
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]
Greta: Such as?
Beth: Communication.
[scenes of tape fragments falling from the sky]
Beth: What if some civilization peered in on us when we were at the height of using magnetic tape, seeing that we used it to relay information. What if this is the media they're using to contact us? It's just coming to us know as we move past the means to read it. What if these little ribbons are clusters of cosmic... leaflets.
Greta: Beth... you still there?
Beth: Yeah. Sorry.
Greta: Have you tried talking with Tim about this?
Beth: He always reaches the same conclusion.
Greta: Which is?
Beth: That I should just move in with him. 'would solve everything.
Greta: And what do you think?
Beth: I think... I'm bothered by all this tape.

i wish i could swear that ALL the above comments have some connection to the making of this film...

but i can't... but i CAN give you a reflection on my experience of this film... it wasn't terrible. and, when deciding what to see, that should never be part of my criteria...there's LOTS of stuff out there. this was fairly amateurish writing bolstered by a few strong performances... and, even though it had a clever idea to springboard from, AND as 'original'(and this is definitely part of why i'm convinced people who helped make this movie are just trying to get 'free hype' on this site, which makes this i sore) as some other commentors said it was, it was, to be kind, not all that clever... for me, though, when it was over, it became an exercise in, 'ok, genius...what would make this movie BETTER...'. i mean, after all, it's EASY to pick something apart...much harder to put it together... i don't want to spoil it for anyone who'd still care to see this... EYE was intrigued, obviously... but it'll be obvious at the end of the movie who i'm speaking about when i say that they should have developed one of the central characters more...i never found out enough about THIS central figure... and that might've made it just cohesive enough so that i wouldn't've felt compelled to write this caveat...
