Whenever anyone is shown digging the garden (yard), they never have mud or soil on their shoes or hands.... Hollywood dirt don't stick.

And they are always planting big lush bushes or leafy plants with lots of flowers in the sun, never trying to wrestle with a stick covered in thorns, in the March/November winds. I've even seen one film where the woman is gaily planting tulip bulbs... how do we know they are tulips? They are in flower!

And they never have to shift 10lbs of cat poo out of the flower bed.

People running down the streets away from the cops or after the baddies, never EVER fall over busted paving slabs, slip on drain covers, tread in dog poo, run into lamposts and bollards or tread in chewing gum.

When they are seen going to the toilet, it doesn't make a noise!

(Incidentally, it will be interesting to watch '24'... supposedly set in real time, how many times will any of them actually go to the toilet?)
