I like number 24. Hilarious.
But, what is your point exactly? That you want all movies to be exactly like real-life? How much fun would it be to go watch a movie that is as interesting as watching what you did yesterday? That's why all of these things have been put into movies, to go overlooked by viewers and secretly making the movie very entertaining.
But, I like what you've written, it's all very true, and very funny.
