Obvious answer, because if he went inside the island the cell would cut out. My best friend tried it on his DDG, once he was inside that hatch >ZAP< no signal.

LOL...and, of course, you're going to get a signal out in the ocean off a third world country. And you'll be able to hear your other party over the 180 plus decibel aircraft sounds!!

I thought I'd always love that movie, but ever since my little sister has made me watch it like, 900,000 times, I have begun to hate it. How many times can a man be expected to replay "A Pirate's life for me"? I am not made of steel!

That's a whole lot of hating

I usually forget the movies which I don't like but I remember those which I hate!

Clash of the Titans. Here i was hoping it would be some 300 spartan type action flick, not even close! I lost interest when they fought the scorpions.

I hate a whole bunch, but can not really make a list out of them.

But along line of bad movie viewing experience; 2012, G.I. Joe, and any other movie with any naval engineering in it has become a waste to me. As a ex-naval architecture major, I can only see the engineering side of everything now and it is ruining everything
