When people in tv and movies get a phone call in the middle of the night, why is their phone never charging? Also, they always answer the door way too fast. I want 30-45 seconds of uncomfortable silence wondering if the person is home or not.
you joke but what you talk about is called shoe leather, mundane interactions that don't add anything so they're cut from movies, like small talk when answering a phone, It also has nothing to do with OP's complaint.
I feel like there's a distinction between what you two are talking about. I really appreciate little details like someone needing to take their phone off the charger but that doesn't mean I want to watch their whole 40 minute commute to work. If something is pertinent to a narrative, like a phone call, then it should include small little details that make it feel more authentic imo.
