    All part of the screenwriting matrix! It's like a "mad lib" game. Screenplay writers just plug in data comtaining all these factors and see what happens! ;)

    The reason for the 555 is because rabid fans will actually try to call the number to see if it's real, and then if it's real they'll hound the place to no end.

    For example, thanks to the success of the Amytiville Horror, there are people who stand on the street taking pictures of it and on the watch out for any kind of paranormal phenomenae.

    The reason for the 555 before each number is because rabid fans often try to call those numbers to see if it's real person and if they can get that now famous person's autograph.

    You mean Americans DO usually say "goodbye" before hanging up a phone call?

    This is an old one, but it always annoyed me. The female cop/rape counselor walks to her unlocked car in the deserted parking garage. And this was before the days of car remotes.

    Evil geniuses ALWAYS reveal their Master Plans prior to slowly attempting to kill the Hero, and they ALWAYS leave before the killing is done.
