the constant stimulation of loud busy music draws my focus from whatever is putting me off & keeps me distracted enough w/ everything that’s going on in the sounds & textures of the music (for this i like any album from every time i die , ultra pop by the armed , suicide season by bmth , garden of delete by oneohtrix point never)
the synth sounds in kid a feel so warm & round as soon as i hear the opening notes in everything in it’s right place it kinda does feel like everything is (in its right place)
columbus (2017) reminds me to be present in the time & place i am in , to look around w/ intention , the bank scene makes me tear up every time .. be interested in what moves others & what moves you !! https://youtu.be/SpfgscfYd7s?si=BY7hgEh5DdJvG8yi
skyfall (2012) i’ve seen daniel craig run around in tom ford like 25 times & i’ll happily see it 25 more , beautiful colours & clothes & kineticism , sometimes all you need is pretty pictures & a silly spy plot to bring you back into your good body

when i was in middle school i read this book and the main character listened exclusively to movie soundtracks because it makes them feel like they’re in a movie and that one really struck a chord within me and i’ve been a movie/tv/video game soundtrack devotee since, here are some favorites:
-moonlight
-if beale street could talk
-fantastic mr.fox
-the place between the pines
-arrival
-the goldfinch
-the imitation game
-little ms sunshine

i saw slumdog millionaire tonight after ages at the cinema and forgot what an emotional rollercoaster the film was. lots to talk about the film and some things that didn't sit right with me, but this theme is stuck in my head since i got out of the cinema and will be for the next few days. transcendent music really, the rest of the soundtrack is stunning too- using paper planes by mia over a sequence of the kids hustling in trains is pure genius
but also wtf is this windows xp photoshop ahh album cover lol

it’s the perfect length for me to watch after work , i can start a movie at 11 or even 12 & get to bed at the (mostly) reasonable hour of 1:30 at the latest . sometimes i will extend this to 100 or 110 min if i‘m feeling indulgent or ambitious .
i could watch an hour of tv but this gives me a whole story in only a little bit more time .
