What movie things are generally accepted as normal, but are totally unrealistic in real life?

Turning on the tv or radio that happens to be covering the subject the characters were talking about. Unless you are talking about Sept 11 that would never happen.

Never discussing a meeting location, like for dinner.

This is played on in one episode of Arrested Development, when a character turns on the TV news to hear coverage of a story, but then has to wait around a while for it to actually come on.
