plot stresses me out. i want to watch someone go through a chunk of their day without manufactured drama or an explosion.
good movies for this: showing up, pacifiction, samsara, stop making sense,

The best parts of the best movies are the stretches of seeming nothingness or tedium that are actually doing the revolutionary work of allowing you to think. Drugs can help but also you don't need drugs because the movie is the drug.
Corollary to this: loud concerts perform the same service. Stare at the stage until you don't see it anymore, focus on the music until you don't hear it anymore, and disappear into yourself until you are all alone in the crowd. Works better the closer you are to the stage. Eliminate mediation and drink directly from the firehose

time frame's approximate buuuut you know it when you hear it. think "poker face". there is so much space and everything's so dry... there is no lushness... the drum samples are unbelievably flat... and yet! and yet! it works so well! the economy of production makes any pop singer's vocals soar even higher than they would otherwise, and really pares the machine of a pop song down to its bare necessities... which is why i think we got so many bangers in this period. there's a lot of good stuff to get into even if it's just for nostalgia

tbf i'm still working on this but: many ppl have the tendency to like, put themselves out in the world with an attached asterisk like "oop! sorry i exist! oop! sorry if you don't like me, i'm working on being the universally beloved human object! oop!" and thusly pre-apologize for every mildly annoying or perceptually uncouth action they will ever take. none of that shit. assuming one is regular and not trying to like, destroy the lives of everyone around themselves, one does not need to constantly explain and apologize for their actions. trust people to tell you if you suck, because They Will.
same goes for art obvs. don't apologize just make it and if people think it sucks they'll tell you.
