Did anybody thought it was cool that the miser brothers were using some form of Skype in the movie.lol This movie is almost 40 years old and it still seems modern to me I watch every year.

I guess back then it was considered "magic"!

I smell dark magic! It's a bit like burnt popcorn.

Don't they do that in Star Trek too? The ideas for modern technology have to come from somewhere. They can't all come from Back to the Future II, although they used "Skype" there too. ;)

It was used in 2001: A Space Odyssey in 1968.

That was cool, and unexpected with that old-fashioned phone.
