Ha, there's a ton of James Bond films like that. They've captured Bond & just need to shoot him in the head & their troubles are over, but...let's tell him all our plans & then lock him up in a room that a child could escape from. Yeah, good idea.
Indeed , cant remember which one but they took the piss out of this in Austin powers, didnt they?

...& the same with hotel rooms. Every hotel room I've had has consisted of a room with a bed & a bathroom, but it's always these big suites in films.
I did actually see a film recently and the hotel room was a right shit hole.

...people of average means live in ridiculously large apartments in Manhattan (although in the case of Hannah and Her Sisters apparently the huge apartment seen was Mia Farrow's real apartment for which she was paying under $2k a month thanks to rent control).
Yup, esp. in comedy series. I suppose they think it's the main set, so lets make it big. I think Seinfeld got it about right.
The extreme example would be the luxurious Xanadu Louis Lane could afford in the middle of New York/Metropolis with her measly reporter salary in SUPERMAN.

Thirty years ago, the hero was always a Vietnam War vet.
If its an action hero. he is never just a soldier or a veteran--he's a member of the Green Berets (years ago), the Navy Seals, or the "Special Forces" (more recently).
Or in a western, the hero that's fought in the civil war is always on the Confederacy side, I suppose because the losing side is seen as the most romantic one. Just as well that no one ever asks them what their motive was.
And as for the size of houses, Married With Children (great series) was a real head scratcher. The Bundy's although flat broke (Ed scratching out a poor living as a bad shoe salesman) lived in a large house right next door to a married couple, both successful bankers, who lived a house the same as theirs, but done up much nicer. How can that happen?

when the assassin goes rogue and starts killing off the criminals that the police have been desperate to convict of terrible crimes for years, the cops try to stop him. Why?
Because that is a actually part of their job.

Do you want an Escape From New York? Because this is how you get an Escape From New York.
(not that the movie didn't have a good point...)

I am unable to distinguish between dream and reality reliably, so it doesn't bother me in movies.
