10 Reasons Movies Are Way Better Than Real Life

3. The Boring Bits Are Cut Out

Could you imagine how great life would be if you didn€™t have to endure hour upon hour of mundane activities, but just have all the most interesting and meaningful events happen in swift succession. No bathroom breaks, no boiling your 31st cup of tea in a given week, no more trying to get to sleep on a perfectly average Thursday night. Just drama and excitement and major, profoundly significant life experiences/character development. If nothing else, the lives of movie characters are €œfuel efficient.€

4. Everyone Is More Attractive

This one€™s really a no-brainer. The likelihood of conveniently running into attractive, interesting people is far higher in a movie than it is in everyday life. This isn€™t to say that you€™re unlikely to run into attractive, interesting people in everyday life, but the probabilities are a lot higher. In Zombieland, what are the odds that the only marriageable woman left alive in America turns out to be Emma €œThe New Hotness€ Stone? The mounting coincidences of repeatedly encountering the clean-skinned and twinkle-eyed Beautiful People in movie universes will warp your standards of attractiveness in reality, but that might be a small price to pay for yet another eye-candy fix.
