Hi
hey!
Is this your first time talking?
no, is it yours?
Oh are we allowed to break the fourth wall when we talk or do we have to stay in character to make it a "natural" conversation?
what does break the fourth wall mean?
It's a term used in plays and movies
are you a big fan of plays and movies?
But in this context it would mean us talking about how we're speaking through the chit chat website
i think we can talk about it
Instead of having an on topic conversation the whole time Ah okay cool And yeah I love movies!
what's your motivation for chatting?
I wanted to check it out And support the research project team Because it seems like a really cool project
yeah it seems very cool what kind of movies do you like?
I love all movies, but especially horror movies. What about you?
horror?? really! i almost never people that especially like horror? (that question mark was an accident) what do you like about horror? no judgement
I love horror movies because they make you feel strong emotions. Even though the emotions are kind of uncomfortable, it's really fun to get a physical reaction from watching a movie
that makes sense
Because most movies are like "oh nice that was fun"
very true
But horror movies really get you involved
and you aren't a fan of that? the passive 'oh that was fun' that's really interesting i kind of agree i like movies that make me think about things and maybe broaden my perspective
Yeah, I think that there's a lot of average movies that are just "meh". So even though I love movies I usually only watch the best ones Me too Like thoughtful dramas? Or more sci-fi mind benders?
hard to say. i grew up in one of the houses where pg13 movies were off limits so i haven't seen very many movies i really like thoughtful dramas
Oh that's rough. Do you watch PG-13 movies now that you're moved out? Haha
i like how they often have interesting commentary on social norms and things like that yes i definitely watch pg13 i did in high school too but very rarely i also have really liked some sci-fi that i've seen but i haven't seen very much do you like lord of the rings?
Nice. I have roommates who still refuse to watch PG-13 movies, they leave the room when we turn on a movie that's not PG Yes I love lord of the rings
wow that's intense good for them though
So haven't seen much sci-fi? What's your major?
i just saw lord of the rings for the first time a few months ago i really loved the themes it covered i'm an applied math major how about you?
That sounds hard but fun
i have seen very little sci fi
I'm a computer science major
it is hard and fun
So of course I love sci fi
haha makes sense do you like star wars?
What's the most advanced math class you've taken so far? What's the most advanced math class you've taken so far? Yes love star wars!
i'm pretty much done with the math major. right now i'm in math 511 which is numerical methods for partial differential equations but i really liked that there were parts of the movie where i genuinely didn't know what would happen next
Have you seen all the original star wars film? Or have you only seen the most recent one?
i saw them a long time ago but don't remember the plot very well. i've seen all the recent ones and my husband has spent many hours filling me in on all of the backstory i'm assuming you saw the last one i don't want to ruin it if you haven't
Yeah! Definitely have mixed feelings about it Did you like the last jedi? Oh sorry, you already said you did But how did you like it?
i really did i loved the seen where kylo ren kills snoke i did not see that coming at all
It was pretty great
i am almost never that surprised in movies
I think Kylo Ren was an amazing character in the force awakens But then in the last jedi I think he became a more boring stereotypical villain
i also really liked it that the whole mission that finn and his gang went on didn't amount to anything
You liked that part?
i did because that never happens in movies at first i was annoyed
I was annoyed too haha Hey, it was fun talking to you, but I have to go now. See you later!
but then i had appreciation because it seems like in every movie when characters go do a brave reckless thing, they succeed, but this time they completely failed okay see ya
