This feels so much like satire. I'll take it as satire because it's funnier that way.

Here's two guys who are friends. They hang out regularly. Besties dates. One of the guy, the main character, has a habit of reconstructing every conversation he had with his friends before he sleeps (or does he?). In one of their date, they talk about a newly released Hollywood movie. A classic crime mystery movie with romance subplot. The mc pointed out that despite it being a big Hollywood movie, there was an anomaly in the movie that may have been an oversight by the film makers. A character from an isolated area in the middle of the mountain was seen using a Rolex watch.

The whole book this is what they're arguing. A freaking Rolex.

In my humblest opinion, the two should just kiss. The conversation would end quicker with less words.

Because why does he say things like "Due to extremely long concatenations of happenstance, one might never come across certain subjects, even when in possession of an alert mind and universal curiosity."??? he's just saying words, that Mr. High Quality Taste Intellectual. Also what does he man by "I refused to defame reality."????? Guy so sleep deprived he made up sentences.

In retrospect, I deeply appreciate the discussion about fiction vs reality. Though very muddled because of the nature of conversation between the characters, I find that topic particularly interesting.

Okay but seriously, over a Rolex in an irrelevant scene from a whole movie??? Yeah back to my initial point, they should just kiss.
