tomathan
do you not watch movies or something???

i watch documentaries sometimes

tomathan
mel

melanoma
what i'm a discovery channel girl not a disney channel girl

tomathan
why movies are amazing

melanoma
as a movie star i feel you're biased

tomathan
why do you think the marvel universe is so popular

tomathan
people want to escape into another reality where there's right and wrong and heroes and magic

melanoma
but i don't get it

melanoma
why is everyone to desperate to spend time in another universe when ours is so fascinating

tomathan
other universes have happy endings

melanoma
well that's not real life

melanoma
that's what i don't like about movies

melanoma
they're not realistic

tomathan
mel not everything is about being realistic don't you have an imagination

tomathan
don't you ever dream about something or wish for someone

tomathan
*something

melanoma
no because wishing and dreaming gets you nowhere

melanoma
if you want something you need to work for it

melanoma
besides i don't concern myself with impossibilities i'm too busy dealing with improbabilities

tomathan
sweet son in heaven

melanoma
i like books sorry

tomathan

melanoma
well movies require no brain activity to watch you might as well be dead

tomathan
mel has anyone ever told you you can be kind of pretentious

melanoma
