How come no one closes doors in movies?
There's gotta be a reason, I just haven't figured it out.

1. And why don't they ever say "goodbye"
when they hang up the telephone?!

3. Oh, very good! But I don't think that's it.
Sitcoms, either. No one ever closes a door when they walk in a room.

4. Also, whenever they pay for something
there's never any change, no matter what the price is. There's always just one actor handing "money" to another.

6. The "Gilmore Girls" never look before crossing the street

My wife started watching it-I like it but I have noticed that

9. they do in soap operas
they leave, close the door behind them, and then just stand there staring pensively, then cut to commercial.

10. I'm serious, this isn't one of those "actors never go to the bathroom"
observations. There must be some cinemagraphic reason for it. Every time someone walks into a room, the door remains open. Sometimes they will show the door later in the scene, and it will be closed, but no one ever closes a door behind them in a movie or tv show.

Except as someone just pointed out, when they are leaving a room, and standing pensively outside the door, or listening at it.

11. Or they meet someone on the street they have never met before
and they ask them for a date and the other person agrees to it. But they hardly ever say when or where. But lo and behold, they make it for the date. I guess they all have good guessing skills.

12. Sidewalks of New York
Drove me crazy, too. You wonder what else they are talking about when the camera's not on them. Are they telling stories about me?

a character comes in from the outside and just closes the door behind them. i don't know where they live that they don't have to lock the doors but it drives me crazy.

14. How come everyone's hair still looks perfect
when they get out of bed? Even when they have had wild sex the night before, their hair will still be mildly messed up but... perfect!!

Also how come jewlery worn by actresses never fall to the side when they are laying down?

I never did get that.
