What else do you like?

[madaboutmahler]

Which?

My two favourites are 'Life on Mars' and 'Ashes to Ashes', and some comedy series such as 'The Office' (the Ricky Gervais comedy series.)
I also enjoy the current T.V show 'The Apprentice'.

The others I get! But that one deserves some explanation.

Hmm, apart from classical music:

- spending time with friends;
- reading, mainly the classics;
- physics;
- chemistry;
- history;
- philosophy;
- watching movies, especially the old ones (Hitchcock, Bergman, Chaplin, Marx Brothers, etc.);
- walking, especially in the countryside or in the mountains (I really like the beautiful landscapes);
- playing/watching football (Inter, Arsenal and Bayern Munchen).

- philosophy;

In general or something specific?

[Lisztianwagner]

In general or something specific?

About Physics and Chemistry, in general; about History, I really adore everything till the end of the World War II. Instead about philosophy, I like the Greek one and the various thinkers of the 17th, 18th and 19th Century.

Thanks for expanding on that.

This is sort of a question I have. Many have said they are interested in a particular subject in general. How does that work exactly?

Hmm, well, I suppose they appreciate all the aspects of that particular subject, without restricting to some specific ones. Speaking for myself, for example about Physics, I like reading, learning and practising about many different arguments: Thermodynamics, Electromagnetism, Quantum Mechanics, Waves Mechanics, etc.

Ah. That makes sense. Thanks again for the reply.

My pleasure.

Something that I can no longer do myself, but I still find so much joy in, is skateboarding.

This video sums up pretty well my feelings.

There's another video, as well, but I can't remember it right now. I'll post it when I do though.

Edit: Found it!

Which Allen films do you enjoy the most?

[Lisztianwagner]

Which Allen films do you enjoy the most?

Hmm...my favourite are Scoop, Love and Death, Manhattan, Annie Hall, Zelig, Deconstructing Harry, Play it again, Sam and Manhattan Murder Mystery.

What about yours?

Zelig! Absolutely Zelig, I keep thinking about one of the ending scenes at the Nazi rally, such ingenious filmmaking

Some of my other favorites are Shadows and Fog, Stardust Memories, Broadway Danny Rose and Crimes and Misdemeanors.

I'm a little bias though, I find some enjoyment in all of Allen's films.

Besides classical music I also like:

Jazz, primarily from the '50s and '60s - actually, most styles of pop, r&b, country and rock from the same period.
Cooking, I love slow cooking stews, chilis and soups, also grilling and learning how to make recipes I used to think were difficult.
Reading, I have been a huge fan of William Faulkner, and Southern fiction in general, especially short stories - and dark, violent writing such as Cormac McCarthy, Larry Brown and Jim Thompson.  I've also been into English period fiction like Jane Austin and Anthony Trollope - but not for a long while.  I still love to read, but less fiction than historical books, mostly about the Classical era.

I love walking over bridges. I always mutter to myself that this is the Pass of Caradhras and smile.
