I know lots about 50s and 60s garage music, proto-punk, and punk music (though I don't care much for any of its modern iterations except for stuff like Death Grips, but that's more punk ethos than actual punk)
My main interest in life is film. I try to watch a new one every day. I am mainly into so called "genre" or "exploitation" films, from 50s sci fi to the Italian splatter movies of the 80s. I know a lot about what most would consider fairly obscure genres.
I actually went on a date last week with a girl who studies film at uni. I tried talking with her about movies but she said she only likes capeshit and Pixar. She didn't even know who Dario Argento was.

Your date confirmed subhuman.

Sweet anon.
Can you direct to directors who explore existential themes?
Are you studying film?
Continental philosophy, mysticism, crying a lot and cooking.
>>27687565
What's your favorite dish?
Vidya, Marxist philosophy, international relations and language learning
Pretty much just video games. Playing them and making them. Women who play video games are disgusting whores who don't know shit about vidya anyway. And the devs are even worse

Dude, most people like history and are willing to sit and listen if you're (1) accessible to their level of understanding, (2) not judgemental about what they don't know, even if it's rudimentary stuff like Napoleon was French (inb4 buttblasted Corsicafags), (3) make your enthusiasm clear and thus contagious.
As for my interests, see ^^^

Nicee. I'm gonna learn to cook when I move out the end of this year
Steak is based as fuck; although, when I cook it I always fuck up

Might just be me.
I guess I like him because in his youth he was an awkward sperg with no friends who lost his virginity to a prostitute. But he became the most powerful man in the world, the de facto Emperor of Europe and the oldest, most powerful monarchies on the continent were terrified of him.

I think the best way is to only use olive oil, salt and pepper. Let the meat sit like that for a while in the fridge. Grill it, look up directions for how long based on the thickness of the meat. Add butter after you are done and let it sit for five minutes under tin foil.
I don't recommend any seasoning aside from salt and pepper.

Nah he was Corsican, even I know that. He wanted desperately to be known as French.
>>27687791
Fun fact; he was a Corsican nationalist during his youth and hated the French. Though obviously that had changed by a few years later.

Thanks.

Good luck on your cooking adventure.

I should learn more about history on the ground during that period. I mostly read the political/military stuff.
Napoleonic era military music is pretty high tier though.

I don't know why I was expecting more from an 18 year old tumblr user

Sure, I'll see what I can do.
A really overlooked William Friedkin film called To Live and Die in LA is probably the most existential action film I've ever seen. Lucio Fulci has some really existential films, like 4 of the Apocalypse and The Beyond. Some of Roger Corman's early output is surprisingly good, with intelligent scripts and really subtle themes, I recommend It Conquered the World and The Beast with a Million Eyes.
I'm sure you already know like all of Kubrick, David Lynch, Ingmar Bergeman, etc. is heavily existential.
Brazil by Terry Gilliam is really good, as is 12 Monkeys.
Sorry if that's not very helpful.
And actually I study playwriting, though I am only a part time student and am dropping out soon though I should be graduating next month.
>>27687890
It's the inverse for me. I only know general stuff about the war itself, like major battle names, but my knowledge is limited to broad strokes.
I think it's because my interest in the Napoleonic Wars STARTED through music and reading books that happened to be set or written during the same time.
>ex. Lord Byron's ode to Napoleon, etc.

Awesome. I've actually only heard of Kubrick on that list so thanks for helping me.
I hope I'll find these online somewhere
Motorcycles. I self taught myself how to take apart and build them and that is how I make my money now. I can get parts to make a Honda Rebel chopper for about 5k then sell it for 9k.
>>27688330
That's cool.
I taught myself how to play guitar--I should capitalize on that even though Ill make little money as a teacher.
