Movie conversations sound fake because nobody ever says "umm" or "uh"

It would sound much more realistic if they.. uh.. talked like most people do in real life. People.. uh.. you know... don't speak like written text.

People who know how to speak don't say "umm" or "uh".

I'm not saying it's never been done.

Also, nobody ever gets tongue tied unless it's for the purpose of a joke.

People don't usually say uhh or umm in the middle of their sentences. Plus if movies were 100% realistic, nobody would watch them.

The Coehn brother's wrote every single "um" and "uh" in the Big Lebowski script. None of that was improv.

In movies and TV shows, no one says "goodbye" on the phone. They usually just end the conversation and hang up.

1) Having actors talk at the same time and pause, stutter and stumble over words tends to slow down a film's pacing -- not the main goal for studios that want fast-moving, audience-pleasing movies. Altman and Cassavetes experimented with the technique and I'm sure some indie movies do it today, but they are never blockbusters.
2) Actors stuttering and interrupting each other also makes editing a film's soundtrack much more complicated (and therefore expensive). In Psycho Hitchcock had Anthony Perkins and Martin Balsam frequently interrupt each other, and Perkins stutter, when the detective interrogates Norman Bates (to illustrate Norman's nervousness). Some great takes resulted, but they took a long time to edit and added to the film's modest budget. Supposedly some takes that seemed great on the set could not be used because of soundtrack problems.
Hitchcock described drama as "life with the dull bits taken out". Truly realistic speech is never very dramatic.

Or the actors sneezed, burped or farted as regular people do, right?

This has been a criticism I've given to Kevin Smith's movies. A lot of intelligent, specific, particular dialogue with absolutely no errors, ever. It bothers the shite out of me.
