American Movies and TV shows

Now, don't get me wrong - I love movies. American movies, Canadian movies, Australian movies, British movies, you name it.
But there are a few things about American movies and tv shows, in particular, that drive me insane.

1.) They never say goodbye on the telephone. It's like, midsentence - "Yeah okay man..." and then they hang up. But nobody seems to question this. They always just hang up aswell. HOW are you supposed to know its the end of a conversation? What if the reception cut out or something? How are you to know for sure?

2.) How people always seem to knock on other people's BEDROOM doors. Not often, especially in teenage movies & tv shows, will someone have to actually get up off their ass, go downstairs and answer the front door to let their friend in. The friend always seems to knock on the bedroom door. Who lets these people in the house?

3.) How if there is ever a scene which involves a skinny girl eating a cheeseburger, she always seems to take the TINIEST bite known to man, and then just holds the cheeseburger for the rest of the scene. You might as well have given her a lettuce leaf, at least it would look more realistic that way.

4.) This one comes up frequently, but it still annoys me - twenty-five year old kids and thirty-five year old parents? Honestly, cast younger actors.

5.) And the last one kind of works for any movie or tv show, and I understand why they do it, because otherwise they'd have to cast about 30 extra people, but why do the main characters of movies always seem to only have four or five friends? In real life, nobody hangs out with just four or five people. In real life, the majority of people have alot of friends. Maybe only a few close friends, but it always seems in movies that the characters only ever have like two friends.


Thats all I've got for now.

Just some things I got thinking about the other night while in the middle of a movie marathon XD
