do not expect too much from the end of the world is about me fyi
i'm still bummed i missed dahomey screenings. i have put atlantics on every syllabus i've ever made so idk what possessed me when i was like "yeah, we can skip that" (?). i think, reflecting again on yours and matt's essay about the state of theatrical movies, i was and am just disillusioned by everything. like, all i ever see in theaters is the blake lively domestic abuse movie and alien: romulus, so then even at nyff i'm like "do i really need to pay to see this."
I missed Dahomey's campus screening here and watched it on MUBI, which, thanks to a student membership program they ran long ago, I had free access to for five years. That only ended early last year. All to say that I follow, and that MUBI has fallen victim to mental accounting exercises (i.e. frequent churn) of my own.
