  Watched 14 Feb 2025

  entertaining if you can stomach how painfully allergic this film is to class consciousness or the resurgence of cringe early noughties slapstick humor

  “one beatdown will never compare to 439 years of captivity” but what an artful fight scene

  Dreaming Rivers 1989

  Watched 28 Mar 2022

  natal alienation,
  absent fathers,
  catatonic depression,
  historical loops,
  transatlantic trauma,
  horrors of empire,
  violent antisocial sociality,
  subjection,
  fanon and on and on (hartman, james and spillers too)–

  “this place makes me so tired, Sonny. i want to go home”

  yeah,
  nightmares are tricky like that
