Time traveller in Charlie Chaplin film!

Can you imagine living back in the times of Laurel & Hardy or Charlie Chaplin? No cell phones, no tv, no internet, no ipod, no cars.

On the upside, whores were cheap and plentiful, and you could beat a ###### or jew and not get in trouble for it.
 
Very interesting.

However a big part of why a cell phone works, and why it's so small, is that you need repeaters all over the place. If that's a phone, where's the cell tower? If it's a satellite phone (hey, we are talking about time-travel, so space capability isn't out of the question), then it's small but possible. The need to get up to a satellite might also explain why it's not just an ear-bud, although if I were a time-traveler being discrete I'd use my blue-tooth and keep the "box" in my pocket.

BTW, this is my same complaint that if there was an extra-terrestrial explanation for UFO's; why wouldn't the Aliens make their ships look like 737's if they need close-range observation, and avoid most suspicion? Then again, the might not care.

Kinda cool, however.
 
Not everyone could afford a car in 1928.

In 1918, only 1 in 13 families owned a car. By 1929, 4 out of 5 families had one. In the same time period, the number of cars on the road increased from 8 million to 23 million. In fact, the industry grew so fast, by 1925 over 10% of all people in the workforce had something to do with production, sales, service, or fueling of automobiles.

It's not a cell phone, it's a futuristic communication device that LOOKS like a cell phone.
 
Yeah, if the bitch can time-travel, chances are she's talking to people in the future, not the local apothecary. So she and her Borg Queen have figured out how to talk through time, just like Janeway, and Snadra Bullock and Keanu Reeves' mailbox.
 
It could be she had been in the early 21st century when she realized she needed to go back to the early 20th century to find what she was actually looking for. She changed clothes for the earlier period but kept her cell phone on her as it also works to operate her time travel device. "Hello. I'm ready to go now."
 
Here's another video with FOX News talking about it...

Seriously, check out the size of those honkin' feet! What is that, a size 18 looooong?!!

And why the fuck is she so overdressed? I see other people walking by & they are not dressed like they are in the Antarctic.

I really don't think this is a time traveler, but she is one fuckin' weird fat woman IMO!!

If you watch closely, she is not very far behind the man walking in front of her...it could be her husband & she could be talking to him. She also may have a toothache & she is holding a compress to her face for comfort, or a heating pad like I previously stated, or it could be the hearing device that most people have concluded it is.

Anywho, the time travel aspect is fun to ponder. Hell, if I could time travel I would love to go to a Charlie Chaplin premiere.
 
Since we are talking about Chaplin, here is a clip of Chaplin coming home to his wife after being out all night. Not sure if this is from a film or one of his shorts.

Ah, got to love that timeless "there's loads of cats on the table" humour.
 
Did this ever get resolved?
 
Yeah, it was actually time travel.
 
Ah, right. It was exciting at first, but we all forgot about it when that alien stole the Crown Jewels.
