the 1,001 project for music is so interesting. i've discovered a good number of really good albums i've never heard of, which is great. new-to-me bands/artists to explore! but it has also really clarified what i don't like in music, which is making even approaching listening to an album that falls into those categories really difficult. like, morrissey (and by extension the smiths) and elvis costello can just shut up already, please. but they have so many albums on the list!
the influence of elmore leonard in quentin tarantino's early films is very apparent, and i think that's why i like them so much more than the later films. the dialogue and conversations are the most interesting part, just like in a leonard novel. →
