  • That sucks man, and I can relate with a lot of that. I got no real advice for you except that it’s your life and yours to live.

    Having said that, I got a sense that your biggest problem is your attidute to the world around you. Putting sex first, calling your uncle and yourself “losers”, and generally expecting strangers to not care about you in the slightest are all signs of an unhealthy and antisocial personality.

    I think love is something that finds you, friends are everywhere if look for them, and while finding a job you like is almost impossible, there is definitely a lot of stuff that you enjoy doing.

    But what do I know, I’m your age, sharing similar, if not same problems to which I don’t know the answers to. But I don’t share your attitude.

    You still got a home, a family, a job, phone and internet, working plumbing, food on your table, your health and a society that cares for you, even if you don’t see it. You literally live better than billions today and 99% of people before you. You are not unhappy because of your life, but because of your perspective. Change it.

    Also happy birthday dude.















  • Oh boy, that’s a question for me. I’m a huge Tarantino fan and I’ve never considered ranking his movies, so this took me a while. I can understand some may think his movies overrated, but since I’ve grown up with them, they very much defined my love for movies, so I truly believe all of them are good, if not great.

    1. Pulp Fiction - It’s hard to overstate how influential this film is. It is revolutionary, perfectly directed, and just so damn fun. Masterpiece in every sense of the word.

    2. The Hateful Eight - An amazing (almost) limited setting film with top-notch performances. This movie is very much about the atmosphere, subverting the classic western genre, with a great cast to round it off.

    3. Jackie Brown - This is black Pulp Fiction, taking everything great from its predecessor and composing probably the best story of all Tarantino films.

    4. Reservoir Dogs - I’m clearly biased, but the non-linear storytelling and the compact story, and just the overall coolness of the characters make this my favorite movie of all time.

    5. Inglourious Basterds - As fresh as they come, this film compelled me to look at historical movies in a completely different light. It’s also the most thrilling one.

    6. Django Unchained - Fun premise, great story, and just amazing performances from every single actor in the movie.

    7. Once Upon a Time in Hollywood - Made mostly for an American audience, it’s thrilling and fun, but relies a lot on it’s (excellent) cast.

    8. Kill Bill - Tarantino considers both volumes as a single film, so I do too. Vol. 2 probably lowers the rank a lot here, but only because Vol. 1 is so exceptionally intense that it was hard to live up to.

    9. Death Proof - The weakest of his movies and maybe the most brutal, Death Proof leans more on the double feature gimmicks, but is still very entertaining and (dare I say) innovative.

    I’m waiting for his final film, but I’m in no rush, as I would watch any of these movies again any day.
