Why don't we see the split screen phone call anymore?

Too difficult to build the sets next to each other.

Too difficult to build two fake phones. Best to have two actors share.

You can have one set, with an actor in the foreground and another in the background. I forget what movie did this, some 90's picture with Christian Slater (?) I don't know

I understand it can be triggering to the socially autistic, but normal people communicate a majority of the time through text messaging when they aren't within earshot. You should probably just kill yourself.

Action movies don't happen in text messages, that shit was retarded if you've seen the movie.

If you need to repeatedly show text messages a plot device it it could probably have been handled in a better way. Having a character type out what he's doing is literally one step away having the character do a voice over inner monologue thing describing his thoughts, which is just lazy.
