american movies are always too polished and don’t seem real to me so they don’t really do it for me. anyway I’m expecting blockbuster odyssey to be clean and sentimental and I’m expecting to feel nothing

I kind of assumed my hairdresser was gay because he’s a hairdresser but he just got so close up to me that I realised that I didn’t actually know. he gave me his insta afterwards too and I was like hmm but I said ok because I still think he’s gay because hes Italian
