Ive only seen the insides of these in movies/tv and everyone is always sitting. Is there space to stand and walk around? a bed? a shower?

How about a replica of the 747 in Austin powers movies?

The G500 has stand up room for most normal sized people. There can be a bed depending on the configuration, plus berthable seats. Not many corporate aircraft below BBJ/ACJ sized have showers, they add a tremendous amount of weight.

Interesting. I imagine the gulf streams are more high end than the regional jets that some airlines use so does that effect the smoothness of the flight at all? I've been on a few of those and they were bumpy compared to being on a 737 or the airbus equivalent

They fly at much higher altitudes than most airliners, so they are able climb above most of the bumps. But every airplane handles the bumps a little different, and generally larger airplanes are less affected by turbulence. Kind of like a boat.

I'd like a Robinson R-44. I might even be able to fly it someday.

A friend on mine has one. It is a nice little helicopter. He learned in an R-22, so it was a logical step. They are a lot of fun. I sit in the left seat, arms folded with a big smile on my face.
