I mean, what is there to say about 2020. It was a real shit year.
When the quarantimes began, I thought I would end up watching a ton of movies, but the opposite occurred. I’m not sure if it was general anxiety/malaise, the lack of the film club/iff forcing functions, or something else, but it just wasn’t happening. The pace seems to be picking up in 2021, but we’ll see how it goes. If I’m able to go to a theatre safely/comfortably in the near future that will certainly change things.
I skipped the minor editorializing about trends and whatnot this year because… well, it’s just all too depressing.
