Phone Booth Phone booth

rdfs:comment

So far, all the phone booths shown have been in Metropolis: * A phone booth outside of Club Atlantis. * A phone booth inside the Daily Planet. * A phone booth outside of the Planet, where the Blur calls (or leaves messages for) Lois Lane. In 1986, a time traveling Uhura and Pavel Chekov looked up the US Navy base in Alameda using a copy of the Yellow Pages that they found in a phone booth. (Star Trek IV: The Voyage Home) A payphone was located outside of Alexandria Books in the late 20th century. (VOY: "11:59") Coming soon! The Phone Booth is a non-premium decoration which improves the Player's Vanity rating. After reaching level 14 it can be purchased for $1200. A Phone Booth is a tiny closet, often outdoors and usually with one or more glass-paned walls, designed to contain a Pay Phone. Even before cell phones took over, they were being replaced by the more space-efficient standalone pay phones. Today they are almost entirely gone, although the booths themselves are seeing a resurgence in upscale theaters and restaurants to reduce public cell phone chatter. In addition to the tropes associated with the Pay Phone, there are a number associated with the Phone Booth itself. This item can also be obtained from the shop by buying the Superhero Pack for 8,000 Gems. On the Koholint Island DLC Adventure Mode Map, Phone Booths appear on certain squares. Using Grandpa Ulrira Item Cards on them will unlock hidden treasures on that square. After it is used the player receives a message from Grandpa Ulrira (representing a phone call) indicating that a victory reward has been unlocked. Subseries warning: Subseries information ends here.

Coming soon! In 1986, a time traveling Uhura and Pavel Chekov looked up the US Navy base in Alameda using a copy of the Yellow Pages that they found in a phone booth. (Star Trek IV: The Voyage Home) A payphone was located outside of Alexandria Books in the late 20th century. (VOY: "11:59") On the Koholint Island DLC Adventure Mode Map, Phone Booths appear on certain squares. Using Grandpa Ulrira Item Cards on them will unlock hidden treasures on that square. After it is used the player receives a message from Grandpa Ulrira (representing a phone call) indicating that a victory reward has been unlocked. Subseries warning: Subseries information ends here. A Phone Booth is a tiny closet, often outdoors and usually with one or more glass-paned walls, designed to contain a Pay Phone. Even before cell phones took over, they were being replaced by the more space-efficient standalone pay phones. Today they are almost entirely gone, although the booths themselves are seeing a resurgence in upscale theaters and restaurants to reduce public cell phone chatter. In Britain, there are still a fair few phone boxes around, although the traditional Red Telephone Box is an increasingly rare sight outside of central London, where many have been preserved - perhaps to enable Tourists to take a photograph proving that they really are in London. In addition to the tropes associated with the Pay Phone, there are a number associated with the Phone Booth itself. * In fiction the Phone Booth has often been used as a changing room, most notably by Superman. In Real Life the aforementioned glass-paned walls would make this problematic. (In the early days of Superman, phone booths usually only had glass in the door-- and frosted glass, at that.) * It's also justified because Superman's alter-ego is a reporter. In just about every movie of the time, a reporter on the scene would duck into a nearby phone booth and call the editor or someone else at the paper's HQ. So, people would see Clark Kent jump into a booth and assume he's making a call, when he's actually changing into Superman. * In an earlier era, a popular pastime among the young was to see how many folks could be simultaneously fit in a Phone Booth. This would seem to be dangerous due to the glass-paned walls. * A photo shoot in cycle five of America's Next Top Model had a photo shoot in which all six remaining girls had to stand in a single phone booth wearing only galoshes and newspapers (and, ostensibly, underwear). * A secret door or even elevator might be disguised as a phone booth, for example in The Man From U.N.C.L.E. The glass-paned walls might be troublesome for the secrecy here. * Spoofed in the very last seconds of the theme sequence of Get Smart. * A common horror movie trope is for the victim to be trapped by an assailant in a Phone Booth. Did we mention the glass-paned walls? * And of course, phone booths are an ideal place for murders, as the booth's close quarters make for little room to dodge and no place to run. Examples of Phone Booth include: So far, all the phone booths shown have been in Metropolis: * A phone booth outside of Club Atlantis. * A phone booth inside the Daily Planet. * A phone booth outside of the Planet, where the Blur calls (or leaves messages for) Lois Lane.
