What do you think about screens in movies and television?
Personally, I hate it, and have abandoned many productions because of it.
In most cases:

you can see that they are artificial

interfaces don't make sense. Often the cursor is missing, etc.

But Searching and Missing showed that if there are willingnesses, it is possible not only to prepare well, but to base an entire film on them.

The only thing that bugs me when they use modern phones on screen is when you can tell they aren't on a call. As an example, my phone screen turns off when I put it near my face if I'm on a call. In a lot of tv shows you can see the phone screen doesn't turn off since they aren't in an actual call and that takes me out of the fiction post haste.

I'm surprised I haven't seen an example of them using a screenshot that's being half swiped to a photo of a cat or zoomed while they are talking with it pressed against their cheek
