How come no one closes doors in movies?

[jobycom]

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?!

[Blue-Jay]

2. Because they're afraid THIS will happen:

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.

[sundog]

5. do doors even exist on sitcoms?

:shrug:

[RoBear]

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

in fact no one in that town does.

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

[Merlot]

7. that's part of the charm of living in Stars Hollow

streets are safe.

8. How come they always get the parking spot right in front of

the building?

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?

[prole_for_peace]

13. and they don't lock their doors.

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.
