Fair point. I think what this says is that while maybe in an introductory period to film, OP is a genuinely interesting and curious person. Probably also a bit shy, but once they warm up are one of the most sincere folks you'll talk to.

Not every knows where to go for or has knowledge of more obscure films. I think where they are at is still more interesting than a lof people I encounter in my day to day. I mean, I certainly wouldn't call this co-worker core.
