This irritates me too...
I saw some dumb movie with JLo and she was this bohemian dog walker and had this amazing condo right on the beach in Los Angeles...yeah right...
That was MOnster-In-Law one of my fave comedies.
She was a temp for other businesses too. Dr's office, caterer etc.
But don't know if it was a condo. we were trying to figure it out. We think she just had a room in a house they shared (along w/her gay friend).. wasn't real clear.
Hahaha, great Also about car chases, they often crash through piles of empty cardboard boxes.
I do like the house porn though - dont mind if it's not realistic. I still remember some movies only for the terrific houses/apartments - Ryan O'Neal's bungalow in a movie called Partners, the little beach house in A Civil Action.
Yes, the empty cardboard boxes! LOL
True, it's not a bad thing to have good living spaces in a film or on television.
Invariably, the vehicles used in the street sequences just happen to be placements of the brand whose vehicle the main character is driving. Yes, there are sections of town that are Chryslertown, Benzville, and Fordton, and no other vehicles may drive or park on the roads. It's even funnier when they use older models of the same vehicle to underscore the new whatever brand they're pushing.
Yes, Yes! Just watched the 1973 James Bond film "Live And Let Die". Every car was a Chevy Caprice, Chevy Malibu or a Cadillac. The scene where Bond's driver gets nailed with the shot from the mirror, New York city streets....every single car on the road is a two or four door Caprice, dozens of them. I doubt there are that many left on this planet today.

You've obviously never spoken to my brother on the phone. I'm always getting irritated at him b'c he does that. I might say, "Ok, see ya later" and he'll just hang up.
Totally agree - I would love to see just one person wake up with bed-head and a big sheet-wrinkle imprinted on their face!
...and those morning scenes where two lovers wake up and have that tender moment where they lean over and have that romantic kiss...I'd like to see one of them wrinkle their nose and say something like "I'm not kissing you until you brush your teeth. Morning Breath! Blech"
And the guy sho spends days, weeks, months in some uncivilized location, but his whiskers remain the same leigth through the whole picture. And his female companion, whose underarm hair never even develops a 5-oclock-shadow.
And why can't I predict when my own car won't start, as unerringly as I can predict when a car in the movies won't start. Unlike mine, the battery is never dead from the wife leaving the lights on---it cranks but won't fire.

I absolutely LOVED the beach house Julia Roberts and her psycho husband had in 'Sleeping With the Enemy"...beautiful digs.
Just thought of another one...horror movie: madman chases girl, she jumps in her car, locks the doors, turns the key, and BIG SURPRISE!!! The car won't start! Just when the madman catches up to her, the car starts and she tears off, leaving the villian in a cloud of dust. Cliche', chiche', chiche'.

They had some great pimpmobiles in that one. I haven't been back to New Orleans since Katrina (I feel very guilty) but the last time I was there they still had a lot of the funky cabs - many of them old town cars.

Me too! Also liked Julia's Iowa house - forgot how she found it right away without having to hassle with a realtor.
Another - during the car chase, the two big trucks passing each other from opposite directions, blocking the street - will the hero crash into them?
